Sydney James Harcourt left Hamilton? — Page 2

MyLife said: "With the recent news that Leslie is leaving in July I was hoping they'd be prepping Sydney for Broadway and not Chicago.



"Leslie is leaving? Oh no, I need to see it again before he leaves."

Why does anyone leave a good job? They get sick of their bosses' sh*t.

He is still listed on the website. I saw him as George Washington during previews. Thought he did an excellent job.

Just out of curiosity, what are the attendance records like for the main cast? In almost every Hamilton thread I've read, I get the impression that someone is ALWAYS out. I even saw on twitter a few months ago that Alysha Deslorieux had to cover all three Schuyler sisters in a month. I'm seeing the show over Memorial Day weekend and though I'm super excited to be seeing it general, I really hope all of the main cast is in that night. I'm thinking that since I'll being seeing it two weeks before the Tony Awards, barring illness, they will be. *fingers crossed*

I think that is a perception more than reality. It seems most of the cast members planned their vacations in the Spring. It's a large cast, so it is likely someone will always be out. Also, because it is Hamilton, people seem to discuss it more often. Leslie is a workhorse. I don't think he ever misses a show unless he is on vacation. LMM shockingly has great attendance given all of the demands he has outside of performing. He has missed a few shows due to being sick, which is understandable given his schedule. The rest of the cast seems to have great attendance as well.

the principles all took vacations between January and April so that they could all be present and healthy for the couple months before the Tonys. Remember, they've been performing on Broadway since July (and had very little time off between Public and Broadway) so they were all due for some deserving time off. Casts in shows that only open in April don't have this issue and rarely miss performances before Tonys (since there aren't that many shows before the Tonys anyway).

The only alternate is Javier Muñoz.

Chappelle is fine; he seems to perform at least a couple of shows a week on average and with the number of tracks he covers, he is probably making major Bank.

FYI saw the show tonight and wanted to confirm that Sydney is indeed back!

oncemore, I'm from Michigan! (although I don't have ties to any 3 of those places, I did perform in a one-night concert of [title of show] in AA in 2014!)

Mitten State born and bred here--and occasionally even proud of it!

When I saw Hamilton for the first time back in November, Sydney was on for George Washington. He was wonderful.

I kind of hope he gets Aaron Burr in Chicago. I definitely plan on buying tickets for that production when and if they ever go on sale! Anyone have any hints as to when that might be?

I believe the Lafayette/Jefferson understudy is fairly new. Not sure if he has been on for either, especially since he was absent from the show for a good two months or so.

The subscriber ticket swap period (when subscribers can change their dates) just ended. They've said they aren't offering a subscriber presale so they should announce an on-sale date soon. I imagine there will be an AmEx presale as there usually is.
