Austin: Leslie Odom Jr. at The Long Center for the Performing Arts
November 29 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$124
Tony and Grammy winner Leslie Odom Jr. brings his Christmas Tour to The Long Center for the Performing Arts in Austin on Sunday, November 29, 2026, at 7:30 PM, backed by the Austin Symphony Orchestra. Tickets start at $124 for a holiday evening with one of Broadway’s most acclaimed leading men.
Odom Jr. rose to widespread fame originating the role of Aaron Burr in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton,” a performance that earned him a Tony Award and helped make him one of the most in-demand vocalists to emerge from musical theater in recent memory. Beyond Broadway, he’s built a substantial career as a jazz-inflected pop vocalist and recording artist, releasing holiday and standards albums that showcase a smooth, technically precise baritone well suited to orchestral arrangements.
The Long Center’s Dell Hall, with acoustics built for both orchestral and vocal performance, is an ideal setting for a holiday concert paired with a full symphony, giving Odom’s voice room to soar over lush seasonal arrangements.
Since his Hamilton breakthrough, Odom has continued building a multi-hyphenate career across stage, screen, and recorded music, with Grammy recognition further cementing his standing as one of his generation’s most versatile performers. Fans looking to make a full night of downtown Austin can also check out Bass Concert Hall, another major Austin performing arts venue nearby.
The Long Center for the Performing Arts sits on the shore of Lady Bird Lake with sweeping views of the downtown Austin skyline, and its Dell Hall has become one of the city’s premier destinations for orchestral, vocal, and touring performances alike since opening. The venue’s riverside setting makes arriving early for a stroll along the lake a popular way to start the evening, and its acoustically refined main hall has hosted everything from the Austin Symphony Orchestra’s regular season to major touring artists across classical, jazz, country, and pop. The Long Center’s central location and ample parking make it one of the more convenient major venues in the city to visit.
The performance begins at 7:30 PM. The Long Center’s Dell Hall offers reserved seating throughout, and the venue’s lobby bars open ahead of the show.
