Thayne Jasperson Marks 10 Years in Hamilton

As 'Hamilton' marks its 10th anniversary on Broadway, Thayne Jasperson remains the only original cast member still performing, playing Samuel Seabury and occasionally understudying other roles. Jasperson, who typically leaves shows after a year, has stayed due to the show's ongoing milestones, including Tony and Grammy wins and the Disney+ film adaptation. The production has evolved from a small, intimate cast to a global phenomenon with a passionate fanbase. Jasperson and fellow cast members note the pressure and privilege of contributing to the show's enduring legacy, as new performers bring their own backgrounds to the roles. Lin-Manuel Miranda and colleagues affectionately refer to Jasperson as the 'ghost' or 'Phantom' of the Richard Rodgers Theatre, highlighting his long-standing presence. Jasperson continues to find excitement and fulfillment in his role a decade into the show's historic run.
