I saw the show last week (Tuesday) and also felt like something was off with Anthony Ramos. He played Laurens a lot drunker than he had when we saw it in March, and Phillip a lot brattier. It felt strange. I guess it's time for him to move on.

akmiller_98, I noticed that too. Maybe he's done this week.

Anthony has done a great job each time I've seen the show. Lay off him! He is a Broadway neophyte, but an all around great guy. Great to fans at the stage door. I adore him and would be sad if it's true that he's leaving.

Great show, amazing choreography and music. It's totally an innovative musical theater masterpiece and Lin is an absolute genius. However, one must keep in mind that the show was originally written for Javier, now with Lin gone, the appreciation for Hamilton's singing part has increased. Great staging and music, keep in mind there is no other dialogue than what is written in the score. While it may be over priced, it is a very good show, but with most of the cast gone, before purchasing tickets, you have to ask yourself, is it worth seeing?

Oh I agree! He's a great guy, and I love his voice. He just seemed out of it on Saturday. Everyone has their off days.

This post is barely comprehensible but yes, it is definitely worth seeing, even if the entire cast was understudies. Who is this addressed to? You're telling the Hamilton fans there is no dialogue? As they say in a great episode of Friends: "That is brand new information!"

Andrew Chappelle reports that he is on all this week as Mulligan/Madison: https://twitter.com/Achapphawk/status/769922349185597441

Oak is apparently going to be at Burning Man in Nevada this week (based on one of his tweets).

Likely that Seth will be doing Lafayette/Jefferson.

I'm going 9/3 at 8pm Would have preferred Oak as Mulligan/Madison and Andrew as Lafayette/Jefferson, but you can't have everything. It's already such a privilege, especially to be seeing Renee in her final performance. Has anyone seen both Andrew and Seth as Lafayette/Jefferson? I'm curious how they compare.

I'm a fan! I was only speaking about his performance on a specific evening. It did not compare favorably with a previous performance and I found it distracting.

Does anyone happen to know if Chris Jackson was back in the show last night? Wondering if he is on vacation.

Thanks. :)

I believe it was Nicholas Christopher. He is the standby for Burr and Washington

According to this Instagram post from a few days ago, Alysha Deslorieux (Standby for The Schuyler Sisters) is leaving Hamilton soon.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BJog51zA-XI/?taken-by=alysha_des

Any idea who the replacement could be?

Because it's too much work for them and they don't need to? I think it's crappy of them, but I'm not surprised.

I'm kind of surprised by that too. does this mean Rory O'Malley will be leaving the show? or maybe he just got sick of doing this pre-show (he didn't last for long as host, only 8 weeks or so)

I understand their decision. The crowd takes up a ton of space on the road, they're probably running out of guests and ideas they haven't already had and it's better to stop them now than have to do it out of lack of popularity when people stop turning up. On a selfish note, I much prefer the digital Ham4Hams anyway.

Im glad they are ending their shows, it does take a lot of work on their end but the issue of over crowding was a big one, and it was incredibly obnoxious to anyone doing business in the area or who lives right around there. Their management hasn't been the best, but this is a good decision.

Does anyone know if Renee has any off-shows this week or is she doing all performances? I will try my luck with the cancellation line tomorrow for the matinee. I come all the way from Germany and really want to see her as Angelica. The Thread for HAMILTON Fans/Obsessives [SPOILERS AHEAD] )
