Joshua Henry tweeted earlier that he has a big announcement at 9 AM tomorrow:

What do you think it could be?
A couple theories I have are that he's ether going to be taking over for Daveed Diggs in Hamilton or he's going to be playing John in Miss Saigon this spring.

I was trying to figure this out too when I saw his tweet. I never even thought of John, that's a great guess.

He'd be a fantastic John- I can't imagine he hasn't at least been seen for it.

Have they announced who will be Burr in the Chicago Hamilton cast?

^No, they haven't, but that's another possibility I should've listed.

Oh wow any of those would be amazing! I am so happy he has something lined up already.

I would consider any of those to be highly acceptable. As would him announcing a big TV/film role, but I hope it's theater related for selfish reasons. Him as Burr in Chicago would probably make me a broke woman as I'd be spending way too much money traveling from Michigan to see him.
Even though he's been successful in his career thus far, I really don't think we've seen everything he is capable of. The dude is crazy talented.

Isn't Chris Jackson leaving to film a TV show at some point soon? I think he would sound great as Washington.

He'd be perfect for any of these roles. He is just so good.

I believe that is filming in NY, as he's not set to leave yet.
My first very strong instinct was that he's the new Jefferson.

I hope it's Burr in Chicago. Jefferson would be a waste of that beautiful voice of his.

Is John that big of a part? Why do so many people want him to play John?

He's basically the character with the most common sense, plus he gets a big number to start Act 2.

John is a great role. But im pretty sure he's beyond 1 big 11o'clock number. Which is basically all he has in Miss Saigon.

Stephanie Klemons just posted to Instagram that today's the first day of rehearsals for Hamilton in Chicago, so I'm expecting the announcement that Josh is Burr.

He would also make an excellent George Washington. I don't think it was announced who was playing that role either. I'm looking forward to the announcement.

Shuffle Along gave us 2 Burrs, very grateful! Now when does Josh come to Broadway...

^As well as the fact that this will be the third time we've seen Brandon Victor Dixon and Joshua Henry share a role.
