@PopsDGE, not sure what the "?" is for. I was responding to your post about seeing the show in Albany.
It makes sense that Hannah is leaving as she will have been with the tour a year. I believe she started just after the Washington, DC run last September.
Darnell Abraham is the new George Washington in the And Peggy tour. He has a beautiful voice. So glad he has the role full time.

Sorry you missed Edred Utomi. He was actually on vacation. I totally understand you being disappointed. That's exactly how I felt when I saw this company in Baltimore in July. Josh Tower (Burr) was out, and the understudy just didn't cut it for me one bit. Jon Victor Corpuz is Laurens/Phillip Hamilton. I thought he was wonderful.
I'm seeing it again in Philadelphia in September. Hoping everyone is in!
My first final performance was attending the original production of 42nd Street in 1989. I then kind of made a tradition of seeing final performances.
One of the worst for audience obnoxiousness was for In the Heights. I remember Hairspray being quite loud. There were others that seemed like regular performances. I think one of my favorites was the original production of Ragtime. Audra was s
Don't forget the City Center production from a few years ago that had people speculating that there would be a revival. I saw Ford's Theatre production last year in DC and it reminded me just how bad the book was. I saw the original production when I was 15, but don't remember much besides Stephanie Mills.
I bought a ticket to see the Angelica company in Philadelphia for my birthday next month. Anyone know if there will be any upcoming cast changes to this company?
I saw the Chicago company shortly after it opened. To date Josh Henry is in a tie with Nicholas Christopher as my favorite Burr, and Karen Olivo is my favorite Angelica. I hope to get out there to see it one more time before it closes.
I enjoyed reading your post. When the original production of Annie opened on Broadway, the comic strip was still in circulation. There was something tied-in that the audience could relate to. I remember the comic strip appearing in my local newspaper prior to seeing the show, but I don't think I read it per se.
You have such an amazing eye for detail to notice even Warbucks' stick pin was gone in the most recent Broadway revival. I definitely remember the miniature li
I certainly hope they add a bit more diversity to the cast. Not that this will ever happen, but it would be nice if they add back the 4 ensemble member tracks that were cut from Broadway. To me having 4 less people was very noticeable.
I saw Shereen Ahmed as Eliza on June 29th. I thought she was wonderful. I was hoping Kerstin Anderson would be doing the tour, but I guess not. I had really wanted to see her.
I saw the Angelica tour in Baltimore Saturday afternoon. I picked up a balcony ticket earlier in the week.
The only understudy on was for Josh Tower (Aaron Burr). I was very disappointed as Josh was also out the night I saw the Motown tour in DC a few years ago. Alexander Ferguson was the Burr understudy that day, and all I can say is that I don't think he is vocally right for the role. He also covers Alexander Hamilton which seems like it would be a better fit fo
I saw the tour today in Baltimore and purchased a ticket for $250 (row F Balcony). It was actually a very good seat, so I was very pleased. My only disappointment was that Josh Tower (Aaron Burr) was out, and I was not at all happy with Alexander Ferguson in the role. Vocally it was not a good fit. He covers Alexander Hamilton as well, and I could definitely see it as a better fit for him.
The board from Friday night was still up when I picked up my ticket.&n
After my initial disappointment finding out that Kerstin Anderson would not be playing Eliza at yesterday's matinee, I am happy to report I came away very pleased with Shereen Ahmed's performance.
She was lovely. My only complaint is that her diction in her first scene as a flower girl wasn't very good. I found her very difficult to understand. After that it was smooth sailing.
She has a beautiful singing voice and her acting choices were excellent. I loved h
