Overview

  • The wax figure wears Miranda’s original Alexander Hamilton Revolutionary War costume and bears his trademark long ponytail.
  • Miranda participated in a full day of head and eye scans roughly a year ago as part of a meticulous fabrication process.
  • Jimmy Fallon emceed the unveiling ceremony on the Richard Rodgers Theatre stage, where Hamilton has been performed since its Broadway debut.
  • The figure captures personal details down to a freckle on his nose and the tattoo of his wife’s initials on his ring finger.
  • Miranda called the reveal surreal and joked about joining fellow wax icons that line New York’s 42nd Street.
