I *am* really hoping it's Javier who takes over! :)

I hear he may reprise his portrayal of the role on a Carnival Cruise in 2023, but I can't cite the source. Look, it is in the blogosphere, so don't dismiss it too capriciously.

It's not off by a few days. That's the weekends the contracts end.

That was my understanding as well.

Also, unfortunately -- just to add icing to the proverbial cake -- I am sorry but my experience as a careful tea leaves/media watcher is that when a story receives this much attention, if it is NOT true, a stmt denying is issued. It could be as simple from the producers as "when we are ready to announce a departure date we will .. " blah blah
There is no denial. There is silence. All (cast, producers, etc) are letting the stories just hang...Because they can't deny a departure date is fixed, and they can't deny the date associated with it.

PS Just to add that now the hype is all finally making me sick.
I love the show, love Lin. But the entire OBC is great. I've been lucky enough to see it several times with the entire OBC and once with Javier. Javier is wonderful. Lin is exciting to watch, but let's face it. The show entirely holds its own without him. To make a huge deal over his exit I feel unfairly detracts from every other featured cast member who is so worth seeing. The real bargain perhaps - assuming no one else hightails out after July 9 - is to get tickets for AFTER 7/9!!! (Just kidding, all the asking prices are outrageous IMHO.)

This is the most tragic part of the entire proceedings.

It's bothering me that all the headlines read something like 'LMM announces exit date from Hamilton'. I don't doubt the date and the info but he didn't announce and there wasn't anything official released, was there?
Maybe I missed something other than the Hollywood Reporter article.
Are they just forgoing an official announcement now that the correct date is out there?

You missed nothing; an official announcement has not been made. I assume we'll get an official announcement and some tweets from LMM about it probably around the end of June.
