Who's on for Burr this week? Is BVD officially beginning tomorrow night, or is it another week of Harcourt/Smith?

^Bump. Friend of mine is going tonight and I have no answer as to who'll be his Burr! (Also just curious regardless!)

Not sure who your friend saw, neonlightsxo, but it was definitely not Brandon. He doesn't go into the show until next week.

That linked Instagram post from Sasha Hutchings was referring to the fact that this is the second show she's done with Brandon, not the second performance of HAMILTON she's done with him.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Curious how you know this! Does this mean he'll be starting Monday, the 22nd?

Austin Smith started the week last week, but came down with laryngitis in the middle of the week, so Sydney did the last half of last week. This is scheduled as Sydney's week.

Does anybody else think that Equity is going to get pissed fairly soon if a new Lafyette/Jefferson isn't named? As the understudies are not actually understudying anyone, with no replacement announced to come, this is surely a violation of some rule. As I recall there was a similar situation in Rent years ago when one of the Rogers disappeared for a few months.

My Icon "Swiney" the Swine Flu Mascot- art by me. "Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel

Any information on how much longer Christopher Jackson will be playing George Washington in the show?

jonartdesigns, they must have something worked out with Equity, because Sydney Harcourt & Austin Smith rotated Burr for the past six weeks, and they weren't understudying anyone then either.

Is anyone going to Hamilton tonight? I would love to hear reports on BVD's first performance. I'm sure he's going to kill it!

Did Andrew Chapelle ever go on as Burr during this time? I ask because Broadway.com still mentions Sydney, Austin and Andrew covering the role of Burr since Leslie left.

No. I think he'd been switching off with Seth for the role of Lafayette/Jefferson. They brought back Nicholas Christopher to cover for Washington for a few days, too.

is there any way to find out who is in the show tonight? I'd like to buy a last minute stub hub ticket but want to make sure Javier, Renee, Chris Jackson and others are performing.

Wow... that's a first. The cast list on the website is updated and they finally correct Carleigh's understudy role! That one bothered me more than missing cast members.

http://www.hamiltonbroadway.com/cast.php

And it looks like they got some of the Chicago/universal swings added in... Eliza Ohman and Antoine Magic Raimone are listed.
