On October 12, life for Hamilton actor Miguel Cervantes and his wife Kelly changed irrevocably when their young daughter Adelaide — who had spent nearly her entire life battling seizures — died just days before her fourth birthday.
Her parents found themselves thrust into the unfathomable grief that comes from losing a child too soon. But then the phone rang, calling Miguel back to Broadway.
“The call came just four days after Adelaide’s passing,” Miguel, 43, tells People exclusively. The actor will return to Broadway to play the title role in Hamilton full-time starting March 3. “We are not overly religious people, but the timing was almost unbelievable.

Hamilton actor Miguel Cervantes and his wife Kelly are quietly preparing to say goodbye to their 3-year-old daughter, who has entered hospice care after suffering from a neurodegenerative disorder for much of her short life.
Adelaide, whose fourth birthday is next week, experienced her first seizure when she was 7 months old after missing some traditional milestones for children her age.
Doctors would quickly determine that the seizure was a result of epilepsy. At 9 months old, Adelaide was diagnosed with infantile spasms (Is.) And coincidentally, at the very same time, Miguel would land the role of a lifetime as Alexander Hamilton in Chicago production of Hamilton.
