Wasn't sure if this would be official or if he was accidentally announced, but the Angelica replied to people's tweets saying thanks and stuff so looks like it's official.

Lin!?

They're still looking at actors for Hamilton and the King (I think they want someone relatively known for the latter). Baz has said Lin possibly in 2018.
Posted: 1/26/17 at 9:33pm
Someone famous for the king? It's definitely Gary Barlow, then.
Posted: 1/26/17 at 9:40pm
That's about the one casting choice they could make that would make me return my tickets.

Prince Charles is being cast as the King. Literally the only way he'll ever play the part as it is.

I wonder who will replace Rachelle in Miss Saigon.
my hope is for Ruthie Ann Miles

Have to say I was really hoping Victoria Hamilton Barritt would get Anjeleca.

why would Ruthie, a Tony winner, want to do such a thankless role?

Thankless, and not entirely appropriate. Gigi's supposed to be young. There's a LOT of really talented Asian-American actresses out there who haven't had their time in the sun. Ruthie Ann Miles' next role as a replacement should either be Irene Malloy in Hello, Dolly! or Angelica in Hamilton (if she can rap). Else, she can be a wonderful ... anything. She's literally the only person in The King & I (original and replacement cast) who kept drawing my eye whenever she was on stage.

I'm still hoping Ruthie gets a chance to play Jenna in Waitress one day. she would absolutely kill that role IMO.

Ooo I agree. I'm hoping for Carmen Cusack kit Stephanie J Block to be Jessie's replacement.

On a different message board, people are noting the lack of South Asian actors in the cast announced so far. But, then, Hamilton is not yet publicly cast.
Also, John Barrowman for King George for at least a few weeks!
