Any Guesses when Hamilton Tour will be cast?

The Hamilton tour begins in March in SF after rehearsing there. (Not that that really affects the schedule).

Does anyone have any guesses if the leads have already been cast, and when we can expect to see announcements?

The Hamilton press team has been notoriously bad at having any sense of streamlined announcements or the like, so there really isn't any way of knowing. The only way to speculate, I'd say, is that the Chicago production began performances in late September, and the cast announcement came out in mid-July, about two and a half months prior. So, possibly later this month? Early January?

I think BroadwayConcierge is right. We should see an announcement within the next month or two.

I am hoping Jon Rua gets to pay the title role on tour. I saw his third performance on Broadway and he was incredible, so he really deserves it. Wishful thinking, but I am really hoping the tour Eliza is Ana Villafane.

The Eliza is a fairly fresh face, who has appeared in several major concert versions of musicals in both New York and Los Angeles, in the past 6 months.

It's nice to hear that Eliza is someone new - I adore the women who have portrayed the role up until now, but I love seeing a newcomer land a job like this.

Could it be Solea Pfeiffer?

Based on that description, that sounds about right.

That would be amazing (I'd love to see Rua in the role) but I don't think he's available. He's been focusing a lot on choreographing I know

Since he's from Oakland (and they're also rehearsing here), I keep hoping that Daveed Diggs will agree to start off the tour and perhaps do SF & LA, like Darren & Lena in Hedwig or Idina in As/If.

Wishful thinking - but a fella' can dream, can't he?

It was legitimately thinking the same thing the second they announced the tour was opening here, but from what I can ell he's got things planed out with clipping until early april so far, so when I saw that, hopes dashed! I knew it was a long shot anyway, but still, it seemed possible lol

Praying for Lin to do the LA run.

I think Lin will be in London at the time filming/prepping for Mary Poppins.
