Which Hamilton performances will be Filmed?

As it relates to what's being filmed this week, the intention is to use film from the shoot for the documentary. They will also be filming interviews etc backstage, on stage, around the theatre. This has been discussed by the production including LMM. But if you want to think something else, go right ahead.

@MyLife, in general I agree, but I do not think they have found an equal replacement for either Odom or Diggs at this point, and I think the loss of the former, because he is the Tony winner, undercuts the viability and interest in releasing it at some point. I am fond of Harcourt and Chappelle but I don't think either is a substitute of the highest order. (You can disagree and I will understand that.)

The documentary will include both footage from this filmed performance and footage filmed over the past 2 years in various places (the Public, the White House etc.) Leslie will be included in the documentary whether he is included in the filmed performance or not.

^ That was my point, but I'm tired of trying to explain to Hogan.

Thank you for explaining this so clearly.

I'm at the show tonight! I will break down in tears if Groff is there. Well, I'll break down in tears regardless but sooner if he's there. I missed him last time.  In any event I'll let you know if they're filming. I'm sitting in orch.

Agreed. I said this previously (see, e.g., #95 and #97), which is why it is odd that neon thinks it has a reason to explain anything to me. But whatever.

I'm guessing it wasn't filmed this evening or we would have heard by now.

I was at the show tonight and did not see any camera equipment. Also Jasmine Cephas Jones and Anthony Ramos were both out so not a ful OBC. Thayne Jasperson was in for Laurens/Philip role. It looked odd having a Caucasian in the mix!!  I saw the show in November and I don't know if it's just because I know it better but this was a far superior performance. They are lighting the stage on fire!! Especially Daveed.  Lots of fun tonight! 

[swanjewel]

There haven't been any sightings of Groff in NYC yet so my guess is until that happens, they're not filming. 

[BroadwayConcierge]

This is a time when I direly wish Groff was on social media. 

[aaaaaa15]

Yes there was a notable difference in Daveed's performance 10 months later for me as well. He was so much more energetic the second time. It's good, it's usually vice versa.

[gypsy101]

yeah why the heck isn't Groff at least on Twitter or Instagram or something.

There is now no chance of this being filmed this weekend.  There is still a chance that this will get filmed the way Lin wants it filmed by July 9th.

Thayne Jasperson was in for Laurens/Philip role.

How was he?

Because of the contract issues?

He was very good as Philip. Plays a child very well. I didn't really buy into his performance as Laurens though. I hate to say anything negative about someone's performance so I'll leave it at that.  Does he ever stand in for K George 3? I cud see him doing that quite well. 

 

On another note I have read that Groff is on the Today show on 28th promoting Looking so looks like he's in town next week. Makes sense then if filming is at end of month. 

 

[paphillyguy]

Yes and the logistics of it since it did not happen when originally scheduled.

Playbill slips for Jonathan Groff's performance.  Not sure if this is for tonight, tomorrow or Tuesday.

UGH! Every day they don't film this just adds another day to the 10+ years it's going to be before it's released! 

[duelshowday]

I am hearing the filming will be tomorrow and Tuesday with both Miranda and Groff.  We shall see.

[Jordan Catalano]

OMG. If they film it tomorrow and Tuesday that means there's only going to be 3647 days until we see it. 

I. CAN'T. WAIT.

And any final word regarding Leslie?

He won the Tony.

 

[lite2shine]

I heard another rumor that they film one performance without the audience then with the audience.

[gypsy101]

that's been discussed several times as being a very common thing they do when filming a Broadway show.

Did LCT already film Hamilton for its archives? I'm guessing with Groff before he left?
