A new Laurens/Phillip, Daniel Yearwood, begins tomorrow. I know we’ll see a new Hamilton in 2020, but I’ve heard a new King George and Peggy/Mariah as well (I’ve been told Elizabeth is not going to be in the role long term). Don’t know about others. It’s been over 3 years for Mandy Gonzalez, 2 for Daniel Breaker, almost 3 for James Monroe Iglehart, 2.5 for Euan Morton. Golden handcuffs are tough...it’s a plush gig with huge security, but is the security keeping you stagnant?
As the show approaches 5 years of performances (!), the variances in performances has been extreme, but the most unique seem to have not originated on broadway. The show is still great, but does it need some new energy? It’s already out there in the touring companies and sit down engagements. The Chicago company closes in less then 4 weeks and they’ve been consistently great the past 1.5-2 years. Bring some of them in!
