The Thread for HAMILTON Fans/Obsessives [SPOILERS AHEAD] — Page 19

Concierge- absolutely! I love that Kail basically allows the staging to happen all around her while she stands center stage and just commands your attention. The end, with her alone on stage, was particularly devastating.

From Newsweek, a really good article on Hamilton's being used in classrooms:

'Hamilton,' the Biggest Thing on Broadway, Is Being Taught in Classrooms All Over

Hamilton is the Broadway success story of the year, maybe the decade. And it’s about to become the hottest item on your 11th grader’s U.S. history syllabus. In classrooms from New York City, where the show packs the Richard Rodgers Theatre nightly, to the West Coast, Hamilton is making educators rethink how they teach early U.S. political history—and making students rethink how much they care.

Yup. He lingers for like 30 seconds after "I Know Him" and has a brief cameo during "Reynolds Pamphlet," but that's it. If you look really closely into the ensemble during certain numbers in Act 2, he's in the background—but those three numbers are his only real times on stage.

Yes! When I first went I had thought that Groff only came back out (dressed in white like the rest of the celestial chorus) right at the end for WLWDWTYS & bows, but last time I went I was seated very far house right, and noticed that he joins the dancers starting with Your Obedient Servant, but is on second level, all way stage right.

I'm guessing that schedule is all that's available until contracts are renewed, perhaps. They can't state his or Lin's performance schedule until they know OFFICIALLY if they will still be in the cast.

Funny article! I'm not sure if the link will work because there's a paywall.

What’s Worse Than Getting Shot by Aaron Burr? Not Having Seen ‘Hamilton’

Government staffers find Broadway hit is a barometer of professional coolness

In conversation after conversation at a Manhattan cocktail party last fall packed with political types, Melissa DeRosa found herself suddenly panicked.

Ms. DeRosa, chief of staff to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo,pretended to check her phone for email or take a call, anything to avoid disclosing a painful, personal secret: She hadn’t seen “Hamilton.”

In nearly every exchange, “this was the topic that came up during the first 15 minutes,” said Ms. DeRosa.

In political circles in New York, Washington and elsewhere, seeing “Hamilton,” the Broadway hit musical about one of the nation’s earliest politicians, has become an essential barometer of professional coolness.

People who figure out she hasn’t seen it tend to be appalled, Ms. DeRosa said. “It’s like the grown-up equivalent of sitting alone in the cafeteria.”

Wow, is she the first member of the original cast to leave? (not counting Brian d'Arcy James obviously)

I'm sad I won't be able to see her in the ensemble when I see the show in June. I've enjoyed her presence in photos of the cast and her own on Instagram. I hope she does wonderful things!

Two questions: who is replacing Betsy? And did she ever go on as Angelica?

and their name would be...

Would be interesting to know where Betsy is going. I see Daniel Watts has returned. He was on for Thayne Jasperson when I saw the show in November.

Have they been selling standing room at the box office?

he performs 7 times week, the only show he misses is either Sunday or Saturday matinees (I forget which one currently)

Javilton's dates: March 19, March 27-30th (all shows), April 2nd (both shows). Generally, Javilton performs on Sun matinees until March 27th, then Sat matinees from April to June (the theatre will be dark on Sundays).

Lin seems to be going on his vacation on the week of March 27th, so Jon Rua will play A.Ham on 3/31 and 4/1?

Hellob said: "Wonder why she left? I thought they had year contracts. "

She was in the show at the public and even did the workshop/lab. So she's been with the show for well over a year
