HAMILTON Principal Cast Replacements — Page 71

Many tours are on a Coronavirus break, but when Hamilton resumes, the Angelica company tour has a new Peggy/Mariah—Straight from Jagged Little Pill, Yana Perrault!

Pierre Gonzalez officially has replaced a Joseph Morales as Hamilton on the Phillip tour.

Here is Playbill's LINK.

Is this the first time Jin Ha is doing the Broadway production? Very cool to see he'll be playing Burr.

Seems like it according to the Playbill vault.

Ha the news in there seems to be that we know who is NOT taking over the lead track in Moulin Rouge.



Am i wrong that other than Breaker leaving, the rest of the principals are all returning from March 2020?

I've only heard Jin Ha online and I don't quite understand this, but Breaker was on autopilot and would love to see what Ha can do.

Remember the long flood of reopening announcements back in early May? Looks like we're seeing the same kind of thing again with full cast reveals... gonna be an interesting next several days/few weeks.

Not sure if this is the right thread but I saw Hamilton last night and wanted to give my 2c. Summary:

Exceptional: Jin Ha (Burr), Tamar Greene (Washington)

Very Good: James Monroe Inglehart (Jefferson), Krystal Joy Brown (Eliza), J. Quinton Johnson (Mulligan/Madison)

Good: Migeul Cervantes (Hamilton), James Monroe Inglehart (Lafayette), Mandy Gonzales (Angelica), all other roles

Yes I split out JMI's two roles as his Jefferson is much better than his Lafayette.

I almost put J. Quinton Johnson in exceptional but the role doesn't have enough to work with to be standout - but this guy has a lot of potential. Forgive me if he is well known but as the only major sub for the night (he's not in the playbill, I don't know his official role) I was very impressed. I liked him better than Oak. It looks like he's gong to a writer's workshop so if he originates a role out of that I wouldn't be surprised.

Jin Ha and Tamar Greene were so very good. Jin Ha shows a beautiful, smooth arrogance that fits the Burr character so well. His singing was excellent as well. I think without a comparison anyone would find him fantastic. When you compare to Leslie Odom Jr. though he is missing a bit of subtly, mostly on the anger side. Wait For It was still a knock out but Leslie can make you cry. It can be an unfair comparison.

Tamar has a great authority presence and sense of urgency to his Washington. His acting is and singing were excellent - you really felt like he was the character. One Last Time brought the house down - it certainly had the most enthusiastic reception. I am not sure if this is normal for the song.

Going in I was most excited to so James Monroe Inglehart and Mandy Gonzalez. I loved James in Aladdin and Mandy in In The Heights. As someone said before James' Lafayette leaves much to be desired, but it was fine. His Jefferson was much better, and a lot more fun. He has a different rhythm for the rapping which made it a bit more musical. I think he is a great replacement but it's no comparison to Daveed. Same with Mandy. I thought she did great but rapping is certainly not her strong suit. She did fine but does not knock it out of the park like Renee. IMO the roles don't play to their strengths.

Miguel Cervantes was fine as Hamilton. He felt a bit off more me in the beginning (probably the hardest part to nail with all of that rapping) and grew on me as the show went. Krystal Joy Brown was great as Eliza - she showed great vulnerability in the beginning and made a great transition to irritated, then heartbroken/annoyed, to utterly devastated, back to smoothed over (forgiveness). Thinking about it now Eliza has a lot of major character development whereas a lot of the other characters don't have to evolve so much. Krystal's singing was fantastic.

Euan Morton as the king was more "kingly" a less playful than Jonathan Groff's take. He was fine.

I think anyone going into the show blind, or somewhat familiar with the material, would have a great time. Anyone very familiar with the cast recording or OBC filmed on stage will be making the sometimes (almost unfair) comparisons. I think as the show and the OBC have a much larger exposure than your normal show these comparisons will likely continue. Perhaps why James and Mandy are sitting in their roles for a bit (plus its a good gig). I know in the beginning it was a bit slow to find replacements for Lafayette/Jefferson and Angelica.

All in all, I had a great time, and very pleased that the show runners are still putting great care into holding the show to a high standard. It did not feel diluted from the original at all. Any comments I had were on individual performances/takes but overall I feel like everything from the original concept has been preserved.

I saw him three times in the Chicago production of Hamilton and found him to be fantastic. My heart does go out to him. I can’t imagine how hard it has to be after his own son’s death to play a man over and over who’s son dies. "

I believe it was his daughter that passed. But still loss of a child.

Yana Perrault will be re-joining the Angelica company as Peggy/Maria. She was due to join the cast sometime in March 2020 but obviously, COVID happened. So glad she is actually going to debut this time!

She's also set to play Buttercup Utonium in The CW's Powerpuff series

Bryson Bruce left the Angelica tour as Lafayette/Jefferson yesterday. I saw him when he joined the tour in 2018. He was wonderful.
