Career Trajectory
Beginning his professional career in 2006 as Chip Tolentino in the national tour of *The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee*, Miguel Cervantes built a steady Broadway presence through ensemble and supporting roles before his breakthrough in 2016 when he originated Alexander Hamilton in the Chicago production of *Hamilton*. His performance earned widespread critical acclaim and the distinction of Chicago Tribune's "Chicagoan of the Year in theater" in 2019, leading to his succession to the role on Broadway in March 2020, where he performed through January 2024 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. His tenure as Hamilton established him as one of the role's definitive interpreters and a leading figure in contemporary musical theatre.
