A new version of HAMILTON will soon bow in New York City.

In response to this weekend's tragic events in Orlando Lin-Manuel Miranda has established an officially-licensed merchandise site, Tee-Rico.

The original cast will be filmed later this month, although Miranda says he doesn't know what will be done with it.

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, HAMILTON leading man Lin-Manuel Miranda will be exiting the show on July 9 to focus on his upcoming projects, including the starring role in Disney's MARY POPPINS opposite Emily Blunt. In a Heatstreet report last month, it was speculated that he will be replaced by his current alternate, Javier Muñoz, who steps in for Miranda on Sunday matinees. It appears that the rumors are true, because now they've been confirmed by Miranda himself. He told Washington Post reviewer Peter Marks:

Toronto's Wexford Collegiate Institute School for the Arts is serious about obtaining the performance rights for HAMILTON now.

Good morning, BroadwayWorld! Because we know all our readers eat, sleep and breathe Broadway, what could be better than waking up to it?
