And the new Aaron Burr is.....Here are the clues. Can you guess who? — Page 8

Slightly OT: Did Odom perform for the Clintons Saturday night? Not in the photos. Or was he in his dressing room, feeling the spurn.

Great point and the likely the smart choice...The show needs to remain the star...

Throwing out a guess and hoping you're right is not "calling" it. If you had said, it will be Daniel Breaker and you ended up being right? That would be "calling" it. FYI - there's a huge difference.

LH makes a good point, original post edited in response. And, I guess I was wrong anyway...

Where's the OP to post more "clues"? I know for sure (or 99% sure) it's not Daniel Breaker because of a BOM source. Though I could see him playing the role at some point. Pretty brilliant casting.

Maybe OP disappeared because we've guessed everyone except the correct person (who is OP's friend, so that might be embarrassing.)

I agree with gypsy, it's a little strange.

They made a point of announcing Javier, even though it was a forgone conclusion.

Guess they are planning to go with the "show is the star" approach that was mentioned earlier in the thread.

Not that many fans don't already worship the OBC to an uncomfortable degree, but maybe this can take some of the edge off.

I saw the show Sunday with understudies on for Burr, Eliza, and Lafayette/Jefferson. The wild entrance applause for the OBC vs crickets for the understudies made me really appreciate why it's good for the show that some of the principals are moving on.

entrance applause? You mean like when the first show up in the opening number?

Yes.

Yes.

I saw it a couple of weeks ago for the second time. The first song was pretty much drowned out by the applause as each character entered the stage. It's nice to feel the love but for those that don't know the song it's pretty much lost. And that's a pity because it basically sets up the entire story. "

They're doing that at every show now...? That's ridiculous.

Yes, he was there when I saw the matinee June 22nd.


The entrance applause also occurred, but I assumed that was because all remaining members of the original cast were present, so people were excited.

I was just talking with a friend about how annoying it must be to see the show nowadays as someone going in without knowing the score or the story. Everyone around you is singing along or going nuts about certain actors or just generally going beserk.
