Jersey Arts Podcast: Theater Meets Mixed Martial Arts for Hamilton's Okieriete Onaodowan in World Premiere Play


By Maddie Orton, JerseyArts.com

originally published: 11/06/2025

If you're a fan of Hamilton, he needs no introduction. Okieriete Onaodowan – also known as Oak to friends and fans – originated the roles of Hercules Mulligan and James Madison in the mega-hit musical. He also played Dean Miller on the TV show Station 19 and leads the new series Demascus–now streaming on Tubi–which the LA Times called a "must-watch".

Born and raised in New Jersey, Oak is back in the Garden State at Two River Theater in Red Bank, working on a play called The Monsters–a world premiere and co-production with Manhattan Theatre Club.

Monsters: A Sibling Love Story runs from November 6-23, 2025 at Two River Theater (21 Bridge Avenue) in Red Bank, New Jersey. Click here for ticket information.
