Besides, while very athletic Daveed is very much not a dancer and the show was choreographed around that. And all broadway actors usually have a high level of base fitness (and fitness doesn't equal weight)

So Iglehart will still jump off the table, though he probably won't get as high as Daveed did - I don't think anyone's gotten as high as Daveed did, the man ran hurdles and cleared 10f off the stage some nights. But I've no doubt he'll be able to ace the staging.

movement-wise, that's harder than anything they've asked Daveed to do

I saw him do cartwheels in Bat Boy. Whatever they change, if they change, will be fine.

Lexi is wonderful as Eliza and Mandy was great as Angelica. Both women have beautiful voices.  Not sure why people are so quick to try and tear people down. So mean.

 

Cant wait to see the guy from Aladdin take the reins as Layfayette/Jefferson. He can sing, but canhe rap? He's physically the polar opposite of Daveed, but so was Seth, whom I did not like in the role.

Yes, James can rap. He's a member of Lin's rap/hip hop group Freestyle Love Supreme. Not sure why people are so quick to post here before doing their research. So mean.

I'm actually so bummed I'm going to be missing him. Seeing it next week, so that's still Seth Stewart... I'd say I'm almost hoping for an understudy but imo none of them are very strong either. I did hear apparently Seth's french accent is better now, so here's hoping? I'm going to try and keep an even mind.

I'm taking a little break from Hamilton to work on another cool project. I'll be gone 3/27/17- 6/10/17. But I'll be back for the summer!

Not a principal cast replacement :)

 

But seriously, good for him. Hope he's moving on to something that better suits his talents. He is a talented and very funny guy but I don't think he fit well in Hamilton in any of the roles/tracks I saw him.

Today is the extraordinary Michael Luwoye's final day as the Broadway Hamilton alternate before he leads the national tour as the Hamilton principal. Any word on who'll be the next Broadway alternate for the role?

Nada on the new alternate front?

Posted: 2/15/17 at 5:30am

Jevon McFerrin maybe? No idea, but as he's been covering the role it could be him.

Looks like Donald Webber Jr. is taking over for Michael!

That could mean he's learning the role as an understudy - even if they move Jevon up they'll need another cover.

Does anybody know who went on for Hamilton tonight? Quite interested to learn a) who's replacing Luwoye as the alternate, and b) if said person will continue to do Tuesday evenings, or if the schedule is set to change.

Jevon McFerrin was Hamilton last night

Don't think you can link Instagram stories, but according to Andew Chappelle and Jon Rua's story, it appears that Jon Rua is returning to Hamilton in what I assume is the alternate position.

That's amazing news.

Poor Javi...

based on this, and also on Javi's tweet, it appears that McFerrin was upgraded to alternate?  Not that it matters now...

Haven't seen any reports on Jevon. Anybody here seen him as Hamilton? Don't know if Javi will be back in by the end of March, so looks like I could be seeing Jevon. 

[neonlightsxo]

Posted: 2/23/17 at 1:39pm

A friend I trust saw him, and I heard he was excellent.

[Rainah]

Posted: 2/23/17 at 2:20pm

I saw Jevin. He wasn't Javi, but he was perfectly serviceable in the role. He wasn't transformative in the role, but I had no complaints.

I'm ecstatic Mr. Rua is returning, I"m so hoping to see him

I asked Jevon if he would be performing Sundays, and he indicated that Donald Webber would be covering those perfs, so it appears that Webber is the alternate for now.
