What else do you do on a message board?"

Oh I suppose some people post things that are just wrong, because they don't know what they are talking about. like you did.

What exactly did I post wrong, since you are the genius? You are the one that's wrong.

To be fair, everyone (apart from one person who said that Lin IS leaving in July) is just speculating. That happens all the time on these boards and I don't really see the problem with it.

@Dave13 "What exactly did I post wrong"

"My guess is previews started 7/13/15. Most contracts will end 7/13/16."

Contracts do not start on the day previews start. They don't just all show up and put on a show, ya know.

LMM staying in the show through the summer, let alone end of year is nothing but wishful thinking...

But...he'll be back...maybe just in another place.

Chicago opening, multiple productions mount soon thereafter, as well as other announced commitments add up to a departure prior to August 2016.

Heh. The show doesn't even have a performance that day.

Then when do contracts end? I said guess. Try to get out whatever is in your ass.

From this article:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/10/magazine/the-ceo-of-hamilton-inc.html

'Most cast members are working on 52-week contracts, which began July 13, the first day of Broadway previews, and those who intend to stay will soon be negotiating new deals.'

I am speculating LMM will leave in July as well. At those scoffing at people's opinions and/or speculation this is a message board where the community shares opinions, ideas, speculations, etc. This is the heart of a community message board. I don't understand why some of you are bothered by it.

I just watched Leslie Odom Jr's interview on NBC and he confirmed he is leaving this Summer (so July I'm guessing).

Compared to Javier, I think Hamilton is usually about two minutes longer when Lin is playing the role. But I can't quite figure out why it happens.

Lin gets applauses which pause the show for a few more seconds than Javier. it builds up throughout the show.

It was slightly startling to hear the Odom is leaving in July -- "summer". Yet it also makes sense. He can return, and will probably be given the chance to do so; but the role is a killer, and it's about a year and a half. He has one of the best attendance records in the show, at least via anecdotal evidence: the fans who post. I know of few people who've seen the show and missed him. My personal feeling: he and Javier (whom I saw) were an ideal combo together.
