Is Lin growing out his hair in preparation to reopen Hamilton?

Peter Marks tweeted a case to be made that Lin might be growing his hair out in order to star as Hamilton when Broadway eventually reopens. The actor, Ryan Vasquez, who was with the show prior to the shutdown did officially announce he’s not coming back and I think Lin can bring people into the seats, not that Hamilton needs that help.

Miguel Cervantes was the principal Hamilton on Broadway prior to the shutdown while Ryan was the standby Hamilton so I don't think Ryan leaving the show plays into the idea of Lin returning to the show. From what I've seen on social media, Miguel has every intention of returning, not to say things couldn't be arranged to have Lin reopen it but I feel like that's unlikely.

let's also develop an awareness that one need not grow out their hair to have long hair onstage. I guess it is good that the silly observations about shows are starting up again. yippee.

Men and women wear lace-front wigs on Broadway. No one alters their hair anymore. Heck, even Bernadette Peters has been using wigs on stage for decades that look exactly like her regular hair. Easier having a hair person have it ready in advance and you don’t need to sit for 2 hours having your hair prepped each performance. Lin can have flowing blonde hair if he chooses without having to do anything to his own hair.

Lolz. Yup. when he was in PR performing as Hamilton. His hair was real the year he played Hamilton on Broadway. He talked about it extensively in interviews and proudly showed off his haircut 10 minutes after his final performance in New York.

Ticket prices would absolutely skyrocket in that case, and people would be dying to see it again.

He can play Gaston in the Beauty & the Beast revival.

IAMREADING said: "This is a good theory!! The part where he couldn't wait to cut it after leaving because he doesn't like long hair sold me. By now in the pandemic, if he really didn't like long hair he could have gotten it cut or trimmed."

I mean, I had hair down to my shoulders, and then I cut it for a role and have wore the Quiff hairstyle for almost a decade, and swore on all things holy that I would never grow my hair back out, because of how much easier and lightweight having short hair was. And now I am actually growing it out again. Lol. Not saying the theory isn't true, just pointing out that a person's opinions can change on their hair. Lol

If Scott Rudin grows a combover during exile are we going to speculate that he's playing Horace in a DOLLY revival?

Didn't he previously state that he wants to reopen HAMILTON in NYC on July 4? Seems all the more possible now.

He comes across as if he does not have a lot of vanity when it comes to his looks. Like he is a theatre geek at heart....My god..just think of the amount of money he must have....

4th of July is roughly 8 weeks away. Yeah I'd imagine they'd need at least 3 weeks of rehearsals.
