Lin-Manuel Miranda, who is currently starring as the title character in the Broadway-bound Hamilton, took to Twitter today to announce that understudy Javier Muñoz might be stepping in to play the part weekly. He had this to say @Lin_Manuel:

1) Heads up, Javilton watch: @JMunozActor rides again as Hamilton tomorrow night, 4/3, and our Wednesday matinee next week, 4/8!

2) Javi is incredible in the role of Hamilton. He illuminates new shades, he teaches me.

3) to that end, we're finding ways to put him on once a week. I'll always give you a heads up on here. It's like the Super Mario Super Show-

4) 'member how they'd show a Mario cartoon most of the time, but on Fridays they'd show a ZELDA cartoon? Javi is the Zelda cartoon.

From the creative team behind the Tony Award-winning In The Heights comes a wildly inventive new musical about the scrappy young immigrant who forever changed America: AlexanderHamilton. Tony and Grammy Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda wields his pen and takes the stage as the unlikely founding father determined to make his mark on a new nation as hungry and ambitious as he is.

From bastard orphan to Washington's right hand man, rebel to war hero, loving husband caught in the country's first sex scandal to Treasury head who made an untrusting world believe in the American economy, Hamilton is an exploration of a political mastermind. George Washington,Thomas Jefferson, Eliza Hamilton, and lifelong Hamilton friend and foe,Aaron Burr, all attend this revolutionary tale of America's fiery past told through the sounds of the ever-changing nation we've become. Tony Award nominee Thomas Kail directs this new musical about taking your shot, speaking your mind, and turning the world upside down.
