Leslie Odom, Jr. brings his 2026 Christmas Tour to Heinz Hall with holiday classics and songs from Hamilton.
Leslie Odom, Jr. brings his 2026 Christmas Tour to Heinz Hall on Tuesday, December 8, as part of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra's holiday season. It's a single night in the city, so if you're planning to go, you'll want to mark the date early.
The program is built around two things: holiday classics and songs from Hamilton. Odom played Aaron Burr in the original Broadway cast, and those songs are a core part of the set, sitting alongside the traditional Christmas standards that anchor the tour. It's a mix of the two—the holiday favorites and the Hamilton material—rather than one taking over the other.
Odom's voice is the center of the evening, and he's performing with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, which means the orchestra provides the accompaniment for the whole show. The holiday classics get the full orchestral treatment, and the Hamilton songs are arranged for that same sound. It's a night of singing backed by the symphony, with Odom handling the vocals.
