It has been announced that Giles Terera will return to the West End production of Hamilton at the Victoria Palace Theatre from 17 December 2021 – 30 January 2022 to play Aaron Burr, the Olivier award-winning performance he created in the original London cast as Best Actor in a Musical.  

Simon-Anthony Rhoden, who currently plays the role of Aaron Burr, has unfortunately sustained an injury and will return to the role at a date to be announced. Jay Perry will play the role of Burr on Thursdays during this period.

Cameron Mackintosh said: “I am delighted that Giles was free to return to the role he brilliantly originated when Hamilton first opened in London and I’m very grateful to him for stepping in for Simon-Anthony who sadly recently sustained an injury.  It will be wonderful to have Giles back in the room where it happens and we of course wish Simon-Anthony a very speedy recovery and look forward to having him back in the show.”

As well as Hamilton, Giles Terera’s theatre credits include Blue Orange for the Theatre Royal Bath and Royal & Derngate Theatres, The Book of Mormon at the Prince of Wales Theatre, Avenue Q at the Noel Coward Theatre, The Rat Pack at the Strand Theatre and Rent at the Prince of Wales Theatre.  His book Hamilton and Me:  An Actor’s Journal was published by Nick Hern Books earlier this year.
