Hamilton creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, will return to the role of Alexander Hamilton in the Broadway mega-hit when it plays in Puerto Rico for three weeks in January 2019. The popular Puerto Rican-American composer, actor and playwright announced the news at the University of Puerto Rico's Teatro UPR in San Juan today, where the hip hop musical is set to run from January 8-27, 2019. "I want you to know what a priority it is to raise money for Puerto Rico while we are here. How important it is for tickets to be available to Puerto Ricans on the island," he explained. Nearly 40 of Puerto Rico's 78 municipalities are still without power and nearly 20 per cent of the island remains without water.
