Lin-Manuel Miranda is bringing his show Hamilton to Puerto Rico in January 2019, reprising his role as Alexander Hamilton.

“Bringing [Hamilton] to Puerto Rico is a dream that I’ve had since we first opened at The Public Theater in 2015,” he said in a statement. “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. 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.”

The show has become one of the most successful Broadway shows of all time, and the short run in Puerto Rico is sure to bring a lot more money back to the country following the devastating hurricane.
