It's Lexi Lawson. Not Lexie.

Wow! I thought it would be Joshua Henry. Great casting. Congratulations to Brandon Victor Dixon and Lexi Lawson!
Wow! He must be working his butt off bc his SA part is way bigger than Josh's plus Hamilton rehearsals. I bet he falls asleep the second his head hits the pillow! Congrats.

A little shushing took care of that singing-along when I was there in May. What's more annoying is the over-served people, unless it was just a coincidence that at least three people in my row, all holding those must-be-lethal Hamildrinks in the souvenir cups, were hammered -- and speaking to each other loudly, as a result.
hey look I totally guessed it that's kind of cool
Didn't Dixon drop out of Scottsboro Boys for some big Ray musical that never happened? Glad he's still working!

I'm still sad that Shuffle Along is closing but this is great casting. He's going to sound so good singing Dear Theodosia.

I wish I could see the look on the OP's face when SIX minutes after posting, it was solved!

You totally did. Good on you!
I always thought it was a real shame that BVD didn't transfer with Scottsboro Boys to Broadway so he could do the Ray Charles musical that never happened. I wonder if he couldn't get out of the Ray Charles contract. Interesting how he and Joshua Henry ended up being in SA together.
Anyway, he is still having a dream of a career. Good for him.

Ah, is that really why he didn't transfer? It's been so long I've forgotten.
