Two hundred and forty-five years ago, a young Alexander Hamilton made his way from the Caribbean to New York to start a new life.

Now “Hamilton,” the hit musical about that life, is making its way to the Caribbean.

The production announced Wednesday that Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator and original star of the musical, would return to the title role for a three-week run in Puerto Rico in January 2019.

Mr. Miranda, whose parents moved to New York from Puerto Rico, is now visiting the island to support hurricane relief efforts.

“When I last visited the island, a few weeks before Hurricane Maria, I had made a commitment to not only bring the show to Puerto Rico, but also return again to the title role,” he said in a statement. “In the aftermath of Maria we decided to expedite the announcement of the project to send a bold message that Puerto Rico will recover and be back in business, stronger than ever.”
