HAMILTON Principal Cast Replacements

[Gymfan15]

No idea, but those seeing the tour are in for a treat...I saw the matinee in Chicago today and really enjoyed Chris Lee's performance. So much talent in that kid. His Lafayette was good but his Jefferson was GREAT. 

Sad to miss Cervantes as he was on vacation, but Jeter did a nice job...his performance didn't seem super nuanced but he had a lot of energy and sang well. I was really impressed with Gregory Treco as Burr...his voice is like butter. All in all, great cast.

does anyone know who is replacing Ryan Vasquez in a month and a few days? On his instagram story, he keeps counting down the days.

Is Michael Luwoye performing 8 shows a week or does he have an alternate?

Luwoye does not do eight shows a week.

I'm 99% sure Sundays are his scheduled day off. His alternates are Donald Webber, Jr. and Jevon McFerrin (who alternate performances themselves).

On Chloe Campbell’s has instagram story takeover, they mentioned each replacement gets 7-8 weeks of rehearsal. Isn’t the norm 2 weeks?

[MyLife]

I thought that was specifically 7-8 weeks for ensemble to learn a track. And their DC said it can take 6 months for a swing to learn all tracks.

Curious if there'll be any cast changes on Broadway in the coming months. Anthony Lee Medina posted on his Instagram story that he'll be in Europe from April 22 through May 5. Not sure if that's just a long vacation, or if he'll have left Hamilton by then...

I’d like to see this again with any cast member except James Monroe Eglehart. Does anyone have a clue when or if he’ll depart? I’m afraid he’ll stay with the show until it closes and I would really like to see someone play this part at least half as good and Daveed Diggs with understandable diction.

Lol, and when do you predict this closing?

 I was being satirical. Meaning  he’s never going to leave the show

JMI was with Aladdin for what seemed like a century. Unless he books a tv show or film, he’s going to be there for the long haul....

Medina extended his contract, so I am guessing it's just a long vacation. He's actively auditioning for things so I'd imagine he's looking to move on but unwilling to give up the paycheck until he's got another one secured. Don't blame him.

saw the nyc cast twice this week.

Michael Lewouye was incredible(i saw him many times in SF)  Daniel Breakers acting choices to be overly sarcastic very early on didnt work for me but he sang the big numbers well.  I liked all the sisters including Mandy, and thought they were great. Rest of cast was terrific. Have to single out James Monroe Engelhart for being completely miscast as layfayette/jefferson to the point of being a distraction to the the show. He was wonderful in Alladin, but wow not in this show. Saw Jevon as Hamilton sunday and his performance was almost a clone of LMMs and was very good.

Both Amber Iman and Ryan Vasquez are leaving the first national tour this Sunday. Anybody know the new Peggy/Maria and/or Ryan's replacement?

BroadwayConcierge said: "Looks like Chris Lee's last day in Hamilton Chicago (before moving over to the first national tour) will probably be January 28. Do we know his replacement yet?"

According to the website, it is Colby Lewis.

Update: Per Karli Dinardo's Instagram story (which I can't link to on here), Isa Briones is the new Peggy/Maria on the first national. 

[oncemorewithfeeling2]

Fun fact: She’s Jon Jon Briones’s daughter

[hamiltonstradition]

Ari Afsar is leaving 3/28!

[conealpetterson]

I saw Isa Brionnes as Natalie in two different productions of Next to Normal in the LA area last year. She was pretty amazing and won an Ovation award. She is pretty young - so I am having a hard time picturing her as sexy Maria. I bet she will be great though.

No offense to her, but I’m kind of thrilled about this! Hopefully we get someone new!

Wonder what she’s going on to. Could Lexi be leaving broadway soon? 

And here’s the post to confirm(looks like it’s the 25th) https://instagram.com/p/BgHp5CdhatN/
