‘Hamilton's' Miranda leaves the building
Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator and star of the Broadway smash “Hamilton,” made a subdued final bow Saturday alongside two other departing stars in the cultural phenomenon.
The performance Saturday at the Richard Rodgers Theatre was also the last for Leslie Odom Jr., who played Aaron Burr, and Phillipa Soo, who portrayed Eliza Schuyler. The three — plus an ensemble member — took their bows together but none said anything.
Miranda made a solo bow, with his hand to his heart before actor Christopher Jackson pushed him to the lip of the stage to receive the full blessings from the audience. The cast left after a few minutes to the theme from the TV series “West Wing,” an apparently presidential choice.
