If anyone is curious, you can hear some of Joanna (I think that's her?) singing "Say No To This" in the background of Anthony Lee Medina's IG story!

Tyler McKenzie is joining the Broadway company, though I'm not sure which track.

Would love to hear how Joanna Jones has been as Peggy/Maria.
Also, I hate to keep bringing this up, but Javi was apparently out for almost all of last week. I can't believe he's still the principal A. Ham.

I saw Joanna, she was great! Her voice on Say No To This was incredible, so smooth. She was a joy.
Also, the Hamilton we saw (Jevon) was great! I didn't expect Javi to be there, so it wasn't a surprise when he wasn't.

According to his IG live, it looked like he was on vacation and/or working on a project out of town.

"I hate to keep bringing this up,"
If you hate to, then don't? You obviously don't hate it.
I was just coming into this thread to see if Javi was on any sort of regular schedule again. I have tickets for the end of the month. I guess that's a no.

Maybe for Rickey Tripp (George Eacker)? It seems like that role has been covered by swings for the last month or so.

A bit OT, but did Emmy Raver Lampman ever go on for Eliza or Peggy/Maria? There doesn't seem to be any evidence that she did although admittedly I didn't look especially thoroughly. Just curious as I can't imagine her as Eliza.

Elizabeth Judd went on as Angelica tonight—her debut in the Schuyler sister standby track.
Also, Mandy Gonzalez is out of the show through at least November 4 due to her Café Carlyle debut.

Also, just skimming the very top of my list of current Hamilton website annoyances (it's been too long, hasn't it?), Elizabeth Judd is still listed as Ensemble, and now-exited cast members Kamille Upshaw, Voltaire Wade-Greene, and Syndee Winters remain up there. I'm honestly so over the Hamilton digital team at this point (even though I think it's ridiculous they're funneling energy into a mostly useless app over an up-to-date show website), but whatevs. Had to point out.

According to Javier's IG story, he'll be out until November 7th

I saw Elizabeth Judd go on for Angelica on Friday night, and she was absolutely incredible!

That's awesome to hear! I wish I could see her in that role. I saw her as Eliza earlier this year and while she was lovely, her performance felt a little restrained. I could tell she had talent inside of her that wasn't coming through in the role and that she could probably nail Angelica.

I guess this is as good a place to ask as any. Anthony Lee Medina recently mentioned on social media a "january vacation". Any ideas/guesses of when? I am in town for broadwaycon and keen to see him in the role again, but if he's out I may wait till the summer and a new cast...

To add some fuel to your fire. Brittney Campbell’s (new Schuyler standby in Chicago) name was spelled wrong in the playbill for several days.

Anthony Lee Medina is leaving NYC today but I'm not too sure how long he'll be gone. Does anyone know? He tagged his location as JFK airport just 30 mins ago.

Javi has been out for the past 10 performances (as noted above) and is apparently still out for most of this week as well. Seriously, someone needs to recast the frigging role already.

I'm very shocked that they haven't started looking for a new lead. I haven't seen Donald Webber, but he has a lot of experience in the Role, so does Jevon. I think they should cast someone new though!

I'm silently gunning for Kyle Beltran to be cast as Hamilton. He was a great Usnavi and with all the dramatic work he's done since, I think he would bring new layers to the role. It's been awhile since he's done a musical though.

He has great energy and I enjoyed watching him when I saw Midsummer last summer, but isn’t he a bit young to be Hamilton? I imagine him blowing Act 1 Hamilton out of the park, but in Act 2 he’s up in his 40s. Does he have the gravitas to play that?
Disclaimer: I don’t actually know how young he is. Late 20s, early 30s?

He's 31, which I think is older than Luwoye and some of the alternates. And based on his work in Head of Passes (and to some extent, Fortress of Solitude), he can definitely handle emotional roles. I think my only concern is he would do such a good job that I would actually feel for Hamilton in Act Two, ha.

^^^^^^
This. Every second of this. Beltran is like, stupid talented and could move into nearly any role in the show. I think he’s 30 or 31 now, which is older then Michael Luwoye.
