Lin-Manuel Miranda Is Coming Back to Play Alexander Hamilton in Puerto Rico

After moving on from his award-winning Broadway hit to play BoJack Horseman's uncle and write songs for Disney, Lin-Manuel Miranda announced Wednesday that he'd return to his starring role when he brings Hamilton to Puerto Rico.

According to Playbill, the show will head to the island at the beginning of January 2019 for a three-week run at the University of Puerto Rico's Teatro UPR—which, like the rest of the US territory, sustained some heavy damage after Hurricane Maria. The show will be Miranda's first playing Alexander Hamilton since handing the reigns off to Javier Muñoz in July 2016, a move he hopes could revamp the island's economy.

“When I last visited the island, a few weeks before Hurricane Maria, I had made a commitment to not only bring the show to Puerto Rico, but also return again to the title role," Miranda said in a statement. "In the aftermath of Maria we decided to expedite the announcement of the project to send a bold message that Puerto Rico will recover and be back in business, stronger than ever."

Miranda, whose parents were both born in Puerto Rico, has worked to bring more aid to the island since the Category 5 hurricane left millions without food, water, and electricity. In addition to bringing the hit Broadway play to the US territory, the playwright announced that his father's nonprofit, the Hispanic Federation, will give $100,000 in grant money to seven organizations aimed at revamping Puerto Rico's social services and environment, according to NBC News.

There's still no word on how to score tickets, how much they'll cost, or who else from the original cast may make an appearance. Whoever's cast, the massive Broadway hit is poised to bring a lot more relief to the island than Trump's performance ever did.
