Aaron Burr was the American vice president who killed Alexander Hamilton in their famous 1804 duel, and the narrator-antagonist of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton. In that show he is the cautious counterweight to Hamilton’s brilliance — famous for the advice to talk less and smile more. Donald Webber Jr., a noted Burr, now joins Miranda’s new musical Warriors, which opens on Broadway in April 2027.
