HAMILTON Principal Cast Replacements

[theguter]

Here's my humble submission on the ?#‎Downfall? Hitler Parody:
"How Hitler reacts when he finds out the ?#‎Hamilton? tickets he finally got will not include some of his favorite leading players..."

Apologies and love to Lin-Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr, Phillipa Soo, Jon Rua, Javier Muñoz, Betsy Struxness and so many more.

Do we yet know who will be Burr come Monday?

[oncemorewithfeeling2]

Sydney or Austin, I'd think. Austin seemed to be going on for Burt more in the spring, but in the past month, it seems to have swung back to Sydney being the main Burr understudy.

Though not a principal, Ariana Debose (aka "The Bullet" will play her final performance today. Sasha Hollinger will assume the role on Monday.

[Lina Lamont]

Carleigh mentioned on the Hamilton snapchat that today is Nick's (Nic?) last show as well.  I looked through the cast and crew info on the website, but I'm not sure who she's referring to.  Anyone know?

[oncemorewithfeeling2]

Nicholas Christopher, the standby for Washington (and Burr, it had been reported, but I'm not sure if he ever went on as Burr). He opts to not be listed in the cast listing.

Why wouldn't someone want to be listed in the Playbill?  Especially in such a popular show.

Donna Vivino and Lisa Brescia didn't when they were Elphaba standbys.

Maybe to avoid the attention of the teenage fans? They're almost as obsessed with the understudies as they are with the principals.

Hi,

Does anyone know if Daveed Diggs will miss upcoming Monday shows due to Bars Workshops on Mondays from July 18- September 3? Thanks for your input!

It seems that would be the case.

[celtictiger]

That's what I figured. Is that what happened during the first bars workshops in April and May too?

[bfreak]

^ I saw the show on Monday April 18th and Daveed was IN.

[gypsy101]

what is Bars?

Just looked at the cast list on the website. Javier and Lexi are listed in their roles, but weirdly no one is listed as Burr.

As has been rehearsed, Harcourt is listed as the Burr understudy on the website you link, which is of course imply a marketing document. Harcourt is registered as officially in the role starting monday and ending when BVD steps into the role. Ironically, that probably means a pay cut in the interim.

Why a pay cut?

Wednesday is going to be interesting... just you wait.

I think you know something that we don't.

 

 

[gypsy101]

was there a matinee performance today? if so did Lexi perform?

[dramamama611]

Pretty sure today was the first week that  Hamilton is dark on Sundays.

What?

when you are an understudy you get a supplement for that gig, plus you get 1/8 of your pay every time you go on, but when you are in a principal role, you don't get the supplement. So unless he got a raise he would be getting less as a principal than as an understudy. Of course most people would like the principal credit if they have not had one.

Quick little interview with Javi from the New York TImes.

[gypsy101]

ah I see that now, no Sunday shows for the next 2 months. there's also a weird week in March with only 5 performances, anyone know what the deal is with that?
