HAMILTON Principal Cast Replacements — Page 42

Isn't it peculiar to train your principal Peggy/Maria for the entire Eliza track (and have her go on for it several times, too)? I feel like nobody's really talked about how unprecedented that is, given how many backups are already in the cast (a full-time standby, several understudies, and at least oneuniversal swing...).

In my personal opinion, I'd hope she doesn't advance on the Eliza track. A friendwho saw her said she played Eliza as angry, which is my least favorite way for an actor to portray that role."

It's VERY strange to give a principal ANOTHER principal track to U/S (especially with Candace, Aubin, AND Jennie all covering the role as well.) From what I've heard from friends, she went from 0-100 on emotion to the end, which came off for a VERY angry Burn (similar to every Chicago Eliza). She definitely has the voice for it, though.

She would have to learn the Eliza track, and it doesn't have any advantage of bringing her back if they have to "teach her the part."

aka, why Emmy Raver-L went from Angelica u/s -> Angelica, Michael Luwoye Hamilton s/b -> Hamilton, Rory King -> King; they were already trained for the role.'"

Teaching Jasmine a new role is no different than hiring a new actress altogether to teach a role. Anytime an existing cast member moves into a role, someone has to learn their old track. Luwoye moved to the tour and then Donald Webber Jr. learned Hamilton.

That said, I can't see Jasmine coming back anytime soon.

His diction is so poor that you don't understand anything he says. He was my biggest disappointment when I saw it last week. Ewan Morton was amazing. I loved him. I was slightly disappointment in the women too but the Wedding toast was my favorite number."

OOH!! HOT TAKEZ ALERT!!

Joanna has said on her Instagram that her official start date is September 23.

Sorry! I should've checked there first before posting. I thought the site would've posted her on the cast page on or after he official start date.

Erin Clemons' Instagram confirms she isn't the next Schuyler sister standby, but ensemble and understudying the sisters.

It's funny that we have to dig into social media to find out who's in this show as opposed to reading a press release like, well, normal. Sigh.

Would anyone think , Josefina Scaglione would make a good Eliza 

BroadwayConcierge said: "Syndee Winters is leaving the show today. Anybody know who the next Schuyler sister standby on Broadway is?"

I've heard Elizabeth Judd.

Is this real?!?

Please be true, please be true, please be true!

To "Investors have been told that Ana Villafañe is Broadway's next Angelica."  and  "Please tell me there is also a new Eliza", Geeze, I hope so!  I'm going back in March 2018 and would love to see Ana as Angelica and a new Eliza is needed badly.  Both these roles need updating.

I don't think Lexi and Mandy are going anywhere. They only had to replace Alysha because she left for Once on this Island...
