"
Temporarily until someone (aka Joshua Henry) steps in? Or the next Burr permanently?

Perhaps Luwoye will take over after Cervantes leaves?

Saw Harcourt today and thought he was a wonderful Burr.

I also heard Christopher Jackson will be making his exit in the next week or two and the next one in is making his Broadway debut

And Cervantes is the new Hamilton alternate. Not Burr

I've also head that this Cervantes's "trial run" before Chicago. I was told we may see a few new faces for brief stays in preparation for Chicago, the tour, and London. As for Jackson, I was under the impression he was taking a leave of absence from the show, not leaving, but I may have misunderstood.
I suspect we'll get official word on replacements early in the week. Maybe a special Ham4Ham or something.

If she wants it and can rap, Heather Headley could make a phenomenal Angelica in the Chicago run. I say Chicago because that's where she lives now, and plans on going back after her summer stint in TCP.

"Per an usher, Sydney James Harcourt (who was on this afternoon) is the next Burr"
So does that mean that other thread where somebody supposedly has gossip on the next Burr is nonsense?

It doesn't mean he's not necessarily a fill-in.

Did Ricardo Zayas leave the production already? He was fairly new to the show.

He was a vacation swing. Not sure if he left but he was never a permanent replacement.

Thanks. He's not listed on the Hamilton site anymore.

No problem. Per Sydney's instagram, Leslie is out again tonight.

Hope nobody in the cancellation line was hoping to see Leslie Sunday or today!
Also seriously: I hope nobody is in the cancellation line. It's too hot out there.

Why don't they do a digital version of the cancellation line like they do with the lottery? Want to get a cancelled ticket? Great, follow this link and get on "line". Seems like people sleeping outside the theater would be a safety issue or a liability.

I was at the Sunday show and Leslie, Daveed, and Phillipa were all out. Can't say I was thrilled when I saw the Playbill insert, but everyone turned out to be great (I had the opportunity to see the show in September with the full cast so I wasn't as disappointed as others in the audience). I thought Sydney was especially good and could definitely see him as a full time Burr. Seth Stewart as Lafayette/Jefferson took the longest to adjust to as, to me, it was the most different from the original performer, but I really enjoyed his Jefferson (his Lafayette didn't click as much for me, but not sure why).

I don't usually care if actors miss shows, because we're all only human, but I think it's in bad taste (and indicative of their work ethic frankly) that Leslie and Phillipa have been out so often lately, particularly weekend matinees (so you know it's not sickness.) Shows it is time for them to go if they can't be bothered to do all 8 shows even in their final weeks.
I believe Daveed is on vacation, and he has a good record of attendance generally.

More in this tweet (.@BrandonVDixon, Lexie Lawson and @MichaelLuwoye to join cast of @HamiltonMusical!) than in the story that it links to:

Yeah, the release must have gone out just now. Everyone is typing furiously. Glad it's not Josh Henry or I'd have to take out a loan to see him as Burr. (Not literally of course.)

Disappointed the press release doesn't say which weekly performance Javi is planning on taking off yet.
