The Hillary fundraiser performance is tomorrow, Tuesday. Dying to know what's happening on Wednesday!

Is anybody going to tonight's performance? Would love a review of Lawson as Eliza.

My guess about Wednesday is that they're filming pickups for the DVD/broadcast/whatever the h*ll they're doing with the footage that was shot a few weeks ago, and for that they need the entire original cast back (or whoever they're shooting the pickups for). Thus the OBC will appear as "understudies" for one or both performances.
Obviously just an uninformed guess, but to me that makes sense. We'll see.

Harcourt is NOT taking over full-time until Dixon steps in. He is one of three understudies (the other two being Chappelle and Smith) who will alternate Burr.

Did BWW make that up or is that a press release? Because it reads like they made it up.

I really want to see Sydney as Burr, but I don't want to wait in the cancellation line if there's no set schedule of when he'll perform the role.

That is NOT consistent with the League's information online as rehearsed above. Moreover, it violates the AEA contract: you can't have an understudy without having someone cast in the role.

Yeah, that's why I said they made it up.

Playbill Vault still lists Leslie as Burr. Is it possible he technically is in paper, even though he played his last performance? http://www.playbill.com/production/hamilton-richard-rodgers-theatre-vault-0000014104
Josh Gad left Mormon after the matinee of a two-show day and Jared Gertner took over the role that night, but Josh was still technically Elder Cunningham for that date, so Jared got an insert before he was actually the new Cunningham the next day. (Granted, this is three weeks and not half a day, but it's the quickest example I could think of.)

Playbill Vault has been really slow about updating lately, so I wouldn't trust that.
Again, none of the other theater websites have written about who's playing Burr, so I don't think BWW's piece is accurate.

And again, IBDB (you know, the official source) clearly states that Harcourt is Burr from this day until ? (being the day BVD takes over).

From:
http://www.broadway.com/shows/hamilton-broadway/
Aaron Burr will be played by Andrew Chappelle, Sydney James Harcourt and Austin Smith through mid-August, when Brandon Victor Dixon will then take on the role.

Just a curiosity --- does anyone know if Andrew Chappelle has gone on as Burr before? I have only been following him on Twitter for a few months (where he usually mentions if/when he is on for someone) and I can't recall him mentioning it. I know he's gone on for Daveed, Anthony and Oak a bunch.

The current cast page of IBDB actually lists all 3 men as ALTERNATE to Aaron Burr.

The Broadway.com disclaimer seems to be pretty solid and credible.

Indeed it does. Yesterday it listed only Harcourt so they must've changed it this morning.

If all three of them are alternates, is that a loophole in the AEA rule?

As it is a temporary thing, perhaps they were granted a special circumstances agreement. (Not that I know any specific language that could be used.)

FWIW, here's the new poster.

No Burr up top; Cervantes is there. Luwoye is not.

I can't tell if they're purposely being shady or if they're just stupid.
Cervantes was never announced. Why would they not announce him but announce Luwoye? Updated On: 7/11/16 at 01:25 PM

The Cast page for me has updated. It lists Muñoz as the Principal, Cervantes as the Alternate, and Luwoye as an Understudy.
It still doesn't explain why Luwoye isn't listed on that cast page at all.
What the heck???
