Random, but I realized that Hamilton Broadway (I believe) is going to hit its 1,000th performance during its 8 p.m. show on Wednesday, December 27 in just a few weeks! So exciting!

Is anyone familiar with this cast?  I'll be seeing them in Seattle in March.   Can't wait to see how the touring production is.

[dramamama611]

They don't start performance until Feb....nothing to be able to know yet.

Well, yes you could know some things. Nick Walker is supposedly fantastic as Burr, as many have said. I’ve heard mixed about Joseph, but I’m sure he’ll be great! I believe those are the only two in the cast that have played their roles before. Shoba will be fantastic as Eiza. Ever since I saw her fantastic performance as Natasha in Great Comet, I knew she was perfect for the role! I saw Tarea Campbell on the Sister Act tour and she was fantastic so I’m sure her Angelica will be great. I’m excited to see this cast as they all seem very fit for their roles!

Does anyone know which cast will be in DC? I was looking at the tour schedule and with the 2NT starting in Seattle, you could kinda make out where each one was going where until right before DC where the tour stops don't overlap.

I thought it was said somewhere it would be the 2NT but I don't know if I'm recalling that incorrectly.

[BroadwayConcierge]

Kennedy Center will be seeing the 1st National, sorano.

I'm listening to it right now and love it so far! I've been a Weird Al fan for a long time, so I'm happy.

Looks like our March 2018 Hamildrop tonight is going to be something blending Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen...

[defygravity2]

The new Hamilton/Dear Evan Hansen mashup is amazing!! 

[BroadwayConcierge]

Is it bad that I thought "Found/Tonight" was kinda... blah?

[Miles2Go2]

I love it too. Been listening to it on repeat. And I love that the proceeds go to a great cause. Never thought two of my favorite shows and performers would do a mashup. It seems like a very apt cause for these two shows to be benefitting as gun violence features prominently in Ham and the social issues of high school are dealt with in DEH.

No. Lin is "blah" vocalist (I am surprised he continues to get work singing, but I guess in the case of Hamilton there is no one to stop him) and the "Found" sections seem pretty "blah" without the ensemble.

Just watched the video too.

April 2018 Hamildrop... Lin's first draft of "Burn" with five Elizas!

[BroadwayConcierge]

Joanna Jones, normally Peggy/Maria, is on for Eliza Hamilton tonight! So cool!

Congratulations to her! She's now the first principle Peggy/Maria to go on for Eliza! 

 

This has me thinking of all the Peggys I would love to see as Eliza... mainly Jasmine Cephas Jones -- She'd be different but sooo good!

Actually, Samantha Marie Ware went on for Eliza a few times over in Chicago!

And Isa Briones, the current Peggy/Maria on the first national, is an understudy for Eliza as well (though she hasn't gone on yet). So interesting to me that they shift over sisters in this way!
