Maybe Lin is going to play Burr for a minute since Henry is the one who commented.

Things I haven't seen mentioned that I think it could be:

(a) something live from the stage of the first preview: opening number, curtain call, extra performances at the end w/LMM or others; and/or

(b) some sort of concert of hamilton mixtape?  Maybe a benefit for one of his favorite causes?  And possibly coinciding, as previously guessed, w/release of vol.2

While I think this possibility still has the same questionability as the one of Lin playing Hamilton (i.e., no appeal to a wider audience, since the show is already sold out), this is actually a pretty cool hypothetical that I really hope happens at least someday.

I was thinking along the lines of what you were...I think it's going to be a live televised concert of the first Hamilton Mixtape album. It's getting to be that time of year for that sort of thing too. Could be cool!

Lin will be doing a live social media introduction (simutaneously on Facebook and Instagram Stories) for the MARY POPPINS RETURNS teaser trailer.

Carmen Miranda has been out of the news this season -- time to divert attention back in his direction.

Why would the Hamilton account be promoting Mary Poppins?

As much as I'd love to see Lin in the role again, I still highly doubt it'll happen and frankly don't see the point. Furthermore, the playbill is up on the Pantages website 

https://www.hollywoodpantages.com/assets/doc/HamiltonPlaybill1-113d2c357d.pdf

Lin is not listed, besides his obvious creation of the show.  All I think is that they're probably hyping up something that will end up disappointing many, but I hope I'm wrong.

So what do we know about 8/11?

lotto information coming 

la opening 

possible Poppins announcement 

This is the beginning of a bit of a day but we still need the boom. The problem is that their idea of a boom might not be ours. The mixtape sequel might be a boom for them.

I can't really imagine anything that would really be a "boom" other than a film or a proshot release.

Agreed. I don't think the Hamilton account would hype up a Poppins announcement but I could see there being a disconnect in them thinking a Mixtape Vol. 2 being a "boom" whereas many will just shrug.

Special live mini concert before the show, celebrating an unannounced drop of Mixtape Volume 2, featuring live appearances by a reunited Destiny's Child singing Schuyler Sisters and Jay Z doing Guns and Ships.

(I totally made that up, but to me, that would "BOOM! Unexpected! You didn't see that coming big!" to me)

It's a casting announcement: Beyonce as Angelica! With special new roles added for her twins.

The more I read this thread, the more I think it's Mixtape.

There's also the Lin-Manuel Miranda star on the Walk of Fame, which could happen that day. It's not a BOOM, but when LMM uses "bit of a day," it's generally about what's happening to him. That's not a dig, it's just how he uses the phrase.

I think that is in 2018 - he was listed as part of the 2018 honorees, but it might just be called the Class of 2018 & they do it earlier?

That makes sense -- in conjunction with Mary Poppins Returns, probably.

SPOILER ALERT

It's a Hamilton App.

DOUBLE SPOILER ALERT!

Streisand has announced she will record the whole show with selected original cast members from the musical. It will be her next studio album titled: "Partners 3: Striesand sings 'Hamilton' with the OBC".

It will be released next summer, debut at #1 (like her other 'Partner' albums did) and get a few Grammny nods (but not win any thanks to Tony Bennett). 

There will be a few exclusive editions - 

TARGET will release a DVD of some of the recordings with their CD

BARNES & NOBLE will have exclusive solos by Streisand

WALMART will include some duets with Streisand and Bette Midler, signing tunes from "Hello Dolly" on a separate disc included in the package. 

AMAZON will have exclusive vinyl release rights.

Hilarious spoilers and responses! My guess is a live Ham4Ham performance and maybe new casting announcements.

Anyone know what time this is supposed to go down, or where it would be announced?

Probably on their Twitter/social media or YouTube accounts? That's where a lot of their announcements seem to go.
