Rory O'Malley, who plays King George III in the Broadway musical Hamilton, handed over his crown in a Jan. 14 ceremony to Taran Killam, who is scheduled to take over the role on Jan. 17.

The ceremony, performed on the stage of the Richard Rodgers Theatre where Hamilton is playing, continued the tradition started by Brian d'Arcy James, who originated the role Off-Broadway. James took part in the ceremony, which included the reading of "Ten Things You Need to Know" (which actually numbered only four) e.g. "Stay Our of Everyone's Way Backstage."

This is not Killam‘s first involvement in Hamilton. On January 2, 2016, he appeared on the steps of the Richard Rodgers Theatre as that week‘s guest for #Ham4Ham. Watch it here:

Among other upcoming cast changes, Anthony Lee Medina will make his Broadway debut as John Laurens/Philip Hamilton in March (on a date to be announced); he succeeds Jordan Fisher, who will play his final performance March 5.
