Leslie Odom Jr. won't be relaxing after he wraps his run as Aaron Burr in 'Hamilton' this fall.
The Tony and Grammy Award-winning actor just announced he's striking out on a November/December 2025 'Christmas Tour' that will send him to venues all over North America.
That includes stops at Morristown, NJ's Mayo Performing Arts Center on Friday, Nov. 28 and Tarrytown, NY's Tarrytown Music Hall on Saturday, Dec. 6.

This run of Yuletide-themed shows isn't unprecedented for Odom Jr.; he went on a similar tour last year. Based on our findings at Set List FM, he performed 12 songs at one of his gigs including iconic Christmas classics, cuts from his two holiday albums — 2016's 'Simply Christmas' as well as 2020's 'The Christmas Album' — and even a surprise 'Hamilton' tune.
Prior to the quick trek, as noted above, the 43-year-old actor and singer will reprise his role as Aaron Burr in 'Hamilton.' At the time of publication, he's slated to perform eight times a week as part of the ensemble at the Richard Rodgers Theatre from Sept. 9 through Nov. 23.
According to the Associated Press, Odom Jr. has played Burr approximately 500 times but never tired of the role. 'It still had revelation for me, and it still gave me reason to look a little deeper and focus a little harder,' he said.
