When I purchased my tickets last August, I got one to see LMM (November), and another to see Javier (January). Unfortunately I had to bag my trip in January to see Javier because of the blizzard. Believe me I was bummed. Due to the extreme kindness by someone affiliated with the show, I was able to secure a ticket for March. He offered to do this for me, as I never would have asked this person about trying to get me a ticket, especially knowing he was inundated with ticket requests. I was absolutely thrilled when I found out my ticket was for when LMM was out on vacation so I'd be seeing Javier after all! He was wonderful. I really enjoyed reading that article in the NY Times about him.
Since we're spreading love for Javi here is another interview courtesy of The Washington Post
I am not a big Lin fan. Have wanted to see Javier in the role. Hopefully I will.

I saw Javier in March. Initially, I was upset I wouldn't get the chance to see Lin (they announced the alternate schedule 2 days after I had purchased my tickets) because I think there's something special about seeing the creator of it all in the show. However, as soon as Javi stepped on that stage to a round of applause and started singing I was hooked. I loved everything about his performance and I feel lucky I got to see him. He was phenomenal.
Aww... another sweet thing that Javi does...

I saw Javier the week before the Tonys (it was my third time altogether seeing the show) and he was truly wonderful. Like others have said, he doesn't quite have the same hyper energy that Lin does but that really only comes into play in the first act. Javi really comes into his own in the second act, and he has I can only describe as a grace about him. Not a natural rapper like Lin is, but an elegant, beautiful man with a great voice and tons of stage presence.

Was so looking forward to seeing Javier (Javilton!) on July 18.......just read that he will be off that night.
Disappointed 
 
I haven't seen him in the show yet, but if he is anything like his Twitter feed and posts he seems like a very genuine person. I watched some of his You Tube videos and I would like to see the show again with him in it to see his portrayal. He sure is the king of snapchat too! Love me some sexy Javi!

Does anyone know how long his contract was? (1 year from July?)
Did you see the video he posted yesterday on Twitter singing "What the World Needs Now?" I can't wait to see him in the show end of this week.
How many shows a week will you do?
Seven. It’s the same structure. [For the eighth performance] someone else gets to be sexy — I’m going to go eat pizza.
 
Does anyone happen to know which performance/day he takes off?
Thanks

Thanks for the info sorano916.
 
I went to his Facebook page as well but was showing last post as being February. I guess you need to friend someone first. Didn't know that.

Ah. That post is pinned on the top of his page's feed. It'll be there until his unpins it. If you "liked" his page (the one I linked), you can scroll down for newer posts. :)
I just did.
 
Thanks again. :)
dang. I guess we won't be seeing him on 9/11. Oh well
Finally saw Javi last night....so worth the wait. Wonderful. He soared. Very moving.
I was really, really looking forward to seeing his performance. Hopefully Luwoye will be great as well, since that's who we'll most likely be seeing, but he won't have too many performances under his belt at that point in time.
Great interview he did today. He deserves all the success and love-amazing guy:

Looks like Javi is taking a break on social media. I read his Twitter feed this morning. Stop by and show him some love. The guy is a true pro and an advocate of equal rights for everyone.
This is what he posted on Facebook today.
"Rest assured my silence is not due to bullying. No amount of bullies can silence me. It is the state if our world right now that weighs heavy on me. In light of all the negativity I'm taking time to nourish and replenish myself & my spirit while pouring my energies into 2 new projects that will be introduced to you soon. One project is with my fellow cast mates. The other will hopefully be with @STOMPOutBullyng and perhaps in the form of a JDoc series. I'm still offline til then. Keep loving and lifting each other up. This world needs your light.??"
