Hamilton Special Announcement on August 11 — Page 2

Lin is returning to the show? A Canadian production? An Australian production? An Asian tour? Live recording? First non-English production? A movie? Mixtape Vol 2? 

 

Its so exciting. 

The first thing I thought of was that Lin will be going into the Comet. He's big fan, and the timing is right for it. Of course that's a crazy pipedream, though.

Also, it looks like the Broadway production is due to release another block of tickets very shortly. I imagine that'll be one of the "reasons" on Friday.

Everyone, It's as plain as the egg on our faces; LMM will make an announcement in solidarity w/Comet, Patinkin, OO, and Malloy that Hamilton will close on the same day that Comet closes after Labor Day. (Chance and CE will give out Kit Kat bars instead of latkes). Everyone will cry. Following this, any other show on Broadway with a fabulous multi-cultural and color blind cast, will also post their closing notice.

Then they will dim the lights of Broadway forever! 

I feel like the easy answer is the OBC recording being released either in theaters or on DVD, but when it was recorded Lin really made it sound as if it wouldn't be seen until years down the line.

Ugh.  Facebook people all think it's going to be a DVD of Hamilton.  Like, they have to be joking.  Never.Happening.For.A.Decade.

 

I think it's about the Mixtape.  

There's no way they're releasing or showing the recording. I'm prepared to be underwhelmed 

If Chance the Rapper was joining some company, anywhere, I'd get on the first flight for it. He has deep roots in Chicago, so I wouldn't be surprised if he did a stint there.

#bitofaday definitely sounds Lin-related, but if he were going to pop in as Hamilton, it's weird that they would announce that in advance across all platforms. The LA opening is already gonna be widely covered and an appearance from Lin would be so much better if it were a surprise, not pre-hyped. 

It's definitely not going to be the release of the recording. 

I did get a big laugh out of the joke that he's gonna be joining The Great Comet. I'm gonna root for that possibility.

It has zero to do with Comet.

I honestly don't know. Maybe a massive name is joining one the casts?

 

"

Agreed, a 3 day lead up for a Volume 2 seems excessive. Maybe some sort of interactive/online L.A. live stream before the first show? OR a benefit concert for IWGTJD foundation featuring either the Hamilton Mixtape artists or either the OBC or L.A. casts?

Chance replacing Henry as Burr for at least a portion of the L.A. Engagement would actually make a ton of sense. He doesn't have a whole bunch of tour dates lined up for the fall. If he would ever do something like this, now would be the time.

So would it be more likely for him to go in as Burr or as Lafayette/Jefferson?
