HAMILTON Principal Cast Replacements

Josh Tower is the Angelica tour's new Aaron Burr, according to the show's website.

Oh wow, good for him. He wasn't on the website when I checked earlier today.

The website is pretty untrustworthy. The last time I saw the Angelica tour it said Chris Lee was still Lafayette / Jefferson when it was really Bryson Bruce.

For most of today, the website also listed Corpuz as playing “John Laurens / Philip Schuyler,” which is not a role in the show.

At one of the performances I saw in DC, they had Chris Lee listed in the program as Lafayette/Jefferson.  I know it wasn't him as I had seen him in Chicago, so I knew what he looked like. Chris had departed the Angelica company after its run in Atlanta.

Probably Elizabeth Judd mainly, Jeannie Harney may even be filling in. Don’t know for sure

Aw, I absolutely loved his performance. He will be missed! 

[DottieD'Luscia]

Has anyone here seen Josh Tower as Burr?  I've been entering the lottery for performances in Hartford.

Im hearing that Ariana DeBose is going into Hamilton as a lead after Summer closes. Likely on Broadway. My guess would be Angelica since Joanna is on leave and due to return as Peggy/Maria. 

[DottieD'Luscia]

I went to the box office on Sunday and was able to purchase a regularly priced ticket to Michael's final performance. I was shocked, but thought it was worth a shot to inquire.

Hell yes! She would be PERFECT for Angelica.

YES YES YES! I always wondered why she never understudied any of the roles in the show since she has a great voice and is a great actress.

Josh Tower is a POWERHOUSE

I wonder who will be michaels replacement. I hope Miguel from the Chicago production gets a shot. He’s been here from the get go and has always been amazing.

According to the Philip Tour Playbill at Dr. Phillips in Orlando, Erin Clemons will be Eliza starting Feb 5th!

[DottieD'Luscia]

Paris Nix is the new Lafayette/Jefferson in Chicago. I can't remember who he replaced.

Any reports on the current bway cast?

Any reports on the current bway cast?

I saw the show in NY two weeks ago and thought it was in great shape. I haven't revisited since seeing the OBC, and I was really impressed by Michael Luwoye, Denee Benton, Carvens Lissaint, who all were as good--and at times better--than the OBC. Denee Benton was really spectacular, and I'm so glad I was able to see her, especially since I've heard lackluster things about her predecessor. Sadly I agree with everybody's assessment of Mandy Gonzalez.... should really have been a star turning role, but it fell flat. I thought James Monroe Igleheart was a great Thomas Jefferson, but my god was his French accent painful. I really enjoyed what Wallace Smith did with James Madison, but similarly didn't like his Hercules Mulligan as much. Daniel Breaker was a pretty great burr though played it a bit differently than Leslie. All in all would highly rec this cast

Michael Luwoye is amazing, I can't praise him enough. During Yorktown he becomes so invested in his monologue that I actually started tearing up a little, lol.

Denee brings such a beautiful sweetness and maturity in the role that I have not seen since Phillipa. 

Daniel Beaker is good, he just took some time getting use to. 

Mandy is a mixed case. She has a beautiful voice but her rapping and acting is really frantic. However she struck me right in the heart during Its Quiet Uptown.

Carvens has improved TREMENDOUSLY since I saw him in DC. 

[MyLife]

Luwoye is great but I do think he has started to overact and over do the role a bit. He's too much at times now that it distracts me from others on stage. The first time I saw him when he was the Broadway standby, he was spectacular, and I wish he was still giving that performance.

I do not care for Breaker as Burr. His voice his fine but nowhere as powerful or emotional as the other 6 Burrs I have seen (save for 1). He's a bit goofy and play the role more like a caricature. It's a choice for sure, but not one that  I care for so I'm ready for a new take on it.

Denee was the highlight of this last time. I agree with the previous poster about her Eliza being the perfect mix of sweet and mature. There is a power in her introversion.

Carvens has a wonderful voice but I think he reads a bit too young for Washington. I didn't get the sense that he's this powerful man who commands his men. The relationship between Washington and Hamilton suffered. I preferred Chris Jackson (obviously)  Gregory Treco when I saw him understudy Washington last.

Mandy Gonzalez and James Monroe Iglehart need to go. Mandy may have improved a little and they're both serviceable but these roles desperately need new blood.

I still think Anthony Lee Medina is the best Laurens Hamilton has ever had. For a role that dies twice, he really packs a punch.

Joanna Jones and Wallace Smith are both great, solid and dependable. And Euan Morton plays up the crazy King really well. He's refreshing. Though I wonder if he's getting ready to leave as he's been there a while.

Interesting you say this about Carvens.  I thought he was wonderful the 2 times I saw him in DC.  The 3rd time I saw it, he had already left this production and the new Washington was on.
