Hamilton Cast Slip August 28th, 2015

TotallyEffed said: "Hey guys,

Random question- I just found my Playbill from the evening performance of Hamilton on August 28th. The slip that lists who performed that night seems to have fallen out. I know that all the original principles were on that night but was curious about the ensemble. Is there some sort of database to check who was performing? Or perhaps one of you will amaze me and have a slip from that night. Sorry for the strange question, would love any help. Thanks!

I really wish I could give you that info. It's so weird... I went June 12 with my whole family (4 people for you ticket-counting goodie goodies) and none of us got slips. I even got 2 extra Playbills. Javier was Hamilton that day. I feel bad for anyone who was expecting Lin and didn't have any idea. Not that Javilton wasn't phenomenal, but the experience of seeing Lin is something else.

There would be no reason for a slip if there were no understudies on. The Playbill would be correct. Javi is not an understudy.

That's not true. I also saw the show in October and there was a slip (no understudies). Hamilton typically includes a slip in the Playbill.

Ive been twice when there were no slips because the full cast (including ensemble) was as listed in the playbill. If even one of the ensemble is out and covered by a swing they usually do full slips. So there may not be an understudy for one of the leads on, but if there's a slip, in my experience it has meant that someone is out and being covered by a swing.

I've seen it three times, and the only time I've had a cast insert slip was in March when Alysha was on for Eliza.

I saw Hamilton in March and didnt get an insert as everyone was in and i saw it again last weekend and also didnt get an insert yet some other people did. I picked one off the floor when i was leaving and noticed that Alysha was in as Peggy and was surprised that neither of our playbills had inserts.
