Wow, I didn’t know Michael Luwoye was that young.
I haven’t seen Beltran outside of Lysander and a video of his Usnavi, but I’ll trust that he’s excellent in tear-jerker roles.
His Hamilton paired with Breaker as Burr could be the breath of fresh air that Broadway Hamilton needs (as soon as Eliza gets recast...)
Any inside word on forthcoming casting? Looks like Mandy Gonzalez just got a new Angelica dress, so the rumor about Ana Villafañe’s imminent casting in the role may have been wishful thinking...
I mean, didn’t Jessica vosk get a new dress when she only had a month left in the wicked tour?

It's possible that her old dress had got to the point where further alterations weren't feasible.
Also, I noticed Nik Walker is leaving the show soon. I wonder if he's going to a different show/project, or if he might be leaving to be a part of the 2nd touring cast.
Is the cast on the website actually current now (minus Elizabeth's title)?
Nik Walker just announced November 26th as his last show (as Washington) on Twitter.

Aww, nice. Also, his final official day with the Broadway cast is December 3.
Thanks! I thought that might mean it was just his last Washington. I haven’t seen him in that role yet. Tick tock.

Shame that Nik is leaving. Hamilton Broadway is seriously lacking the energy that it once had, and Nik was one of the shining lights in the company. JMI, Carvens, Anthony, Andrew Chappelle, Eliza, and Lauren are the ones that appear to be keeping things up in spirit. ALSO... 2NT cast should be announcing soon; let the speculation begin, but maybe Nik Walker will be leading the company as Burr or GW?!
Mandy Gonzalez’s Instagram story says “exciting news” is coming tomorrow. (Wishfully hoping it’s a cast change announcement but I’m doubtful.)

I don't mind her staying, she's grown a ton into the character, and is a great mentor within the cast. As much as I love Lexi, I feel like we need a new Eliza; and I would LOVE if they brought back Carleigh Bettoil, although I would be fine with new talent too.
FWIW, Mandy's "exciting news" was that her Fearless album is going to be sold at at the Hamilton pop-up shop and at the show's merch booth. Which... is not exactly good news for people like me who are eagerly awaiting a new Angelica.

Hmm, six weeks to get a new Angelika.....(till I see it again)

Every time this gets bumped I get excited. Hopefully news soon.
Related: I wonder if Medina's extending? He's phenomenal in the role, I'd imagine they'd offer unless they had someone else lined up a la Jordan Fisher? And I'd imagine he'd accept unless he had something else (Which I wouldn't mind either, long as I still got to see him onstage)
Nik Walker left the Broadway cast yesterday, but apparently has signed an principal production contract (for an unknown show)! I wonder if it's the second national tour...

Can’t imagine her going to back to broadway. Pretty sure she was cast in a new Netflix series.
Any idea when Joshua’s leaving?

Henry? His last show is Christmas Eve (12/24). https://twitter.com/joshuahenry20/status/937101425863094272
Also, Alex Gemignani's last show in Chicago seems to be the 7th with Andrew Call taking over on the 26th. https://www.instagram.com/p/BcNzZvQFqEz/ (Scroll over to the 3rd photo in the set)
Emmy’s leaving the tour, Karen’s left Chicago... is Mandy EVER leaving Broadway?

She has been doing a lot of stuff outside of the show, so It seems kind of imminent.
Kyle Scatliffe posted a similar Equity contract Instagram to what Nik Walker posted the other day... methinks some new cast announcements are on their way!
I think he’s great! Don’t know which part I’d cast him in, though.
Apparently Kyle is going to be Lafayette on the second tour.
