OMG either would be awesome, but Joshua Henry is just incredible. Saw him in Scottsboro Boys, Violet, and Shuffle Along. I thought Leslie was good, but I think Joshua would take it even higher.
Funny, if they pick the right performers, Hamilton could be even better. The one player who I think is/was the sole of that production is Renee as Angelica.

And to me Angelica is the part I could see many actresses playing successfully. Funny how we're all different.

This
i wouldn't say any of the shuffle along guys since they will probably finish out that run.

Daniel Breaker?

My vote would be for Joshua Henry too. He already has ties to Hamilton. I believe he played King George during the Vassar workshop.
EDIT: I looked it up. He played King George and Mulligan/Madison

How are they just making offers now? When are they rehearsing these people!?!?

Loretta Swit

Can you tell us whether or not it's Joshua Henry, because he fits the description you have and would be PERFECT.
Posted: 6/30/16 at 8:31pm
I've never really understood the purpose of these kinds of posts. I mean, good for you, I guess? But we'll all find out eventually, since Leslie leaves in a week, so who really cares that you know a few days earlier?
Posted: 6/30/16 at 8:34pm
Lol we'll probably find out in like a week but did he really JUST get the role? He has to master the role in 12 days while he's still doing a Broadway show?
Posted: 6/30/16 at 8:43pm
Someone that can learn the role and replace a lead in less than two weeks? My vote is for Jeremy Kushnier.
But actually, Joshua Henry has done In The Heights, so that's another tie to the creative team here. It wouldn't shock me if they're going to ask Sidney James Harcourt or one of the other understudies to play Burr for a few weeks, and then have Joshua Henry take over after Shuffle Along closes.
I know they looked at Sidney to play Burr in Chicago a while ago, so I don't think it's unlikely they'd ask him to do a short run on Broadway before the Chicago production starts rehearsals if they want him for that production.
Posted: 6/30/16 at 8:43pm
Maybe an understudy will go on for a few weeks until the new actor is prepared. Seems pretty odd if they really did wait this long to cast the replacement.
Posted: 6/30/16 at 8:46pm
I was going to guess Bill Cosby, but he's not currently on Broadway... Hmmm.....
Posted: 6/30/16 at 8:47pm
He's attached to the out of town tryout of "Sleeping Beauty" in Seattle.
