For years, Miguel Cervantes was the actor behind the most visible role in the world of the performing arts. Following his standout performances as Alexander Hamilton in the Chicago run of Hamilton: An American Musical, he was hand-picked by the show’s creator and original Alexander Hamilton actor Lin-Manuel Miranda to play the role of the title character in the Broadway run of the universally beloved production in 2020. He would stay in the role until 2024. Cervantes’ ascent to the stratosphere of theatrical excellence embodies the essence of creativity, resilience, and unwavering dedication to one’s purpose. He overcame setbacks and unthinkable personal tragedy to capture imaginations with his spellbinding portrayal of Alexander Hamilton and cement his legacy as one of the great performers of our time. He taps into the magic of story and performance to inspire audiences to write their own unique script to success.

​

Cervantes finds the perfect balance between funny, candid, and inspiring as he sheds light on the creative process and innovative thinking, and the power of supporting the missions that matter to you. Cervantes breaks down the theatrical fourth wall to lead an immersive session in which groups laugh, reflect, and experience emotions together. In a performance unlike any other, he brings the spirit of Hamilton to events — playing many of the show-stopping tunes from the musical, while weaving in entertaining stories from his experiences on stage and his life behind the scenes. He opens up to the audience about his daughter’s diagnosis with a rare epileptic disorder and losing her just days before the call for his big break to return to Broadway, and how he channeled that heartache into his purpose and life’s work. Cervantes uses his platform to empower audiences to embrace the lead role in their lives, turn challenges into triumphs, and find the flame within that will guide them on the path to accomplishing the incredible in their next act.

​His remarkable journey serves as a testament to the transformative power of art and reminds us of the boundless potential that lies within each of us to create, inspire, and change the world.
