Career
Ziad, the “best buddy” in Kari Floren’s The Porch at Altered Stages in New York, and roles in various off-Broadway shows were among Muoz’s early parts. However, when he tried out for the musical In the Heights, he was in the 2006 New York Musical Theatre Festival’s off-Broadway play All Is Love and had given up acting to take a full-time work as a manager at the Hell’s Kitchen restaurant.
Javier Muñoz was cast in a role that was later removed from the play throughout preparations, but he remained in the ensemble. Muoz debuted as Usnavi de la Vega in the Broadway production of In the Heights on February 16, 2009.
In 2015, Muoz joined the Broadway show Hamilton as an alternative for the part of Alexander Hamilton. By spring 2016, Muoz had taken up the position created by Lin-Manuel Miranda every Sunday and on weekdays when Miranda was unavailable. The night President Barack Obama accompanied by his family, came to see the musical, Muoz portrayed Hamilton. Muoz’s performance as a stand-in for Miranda in Hamilton got highlighted by New York Times theatrical reviewer Ben Brantley.
