Me too! I'm so excited I get to see him (hopefully he won't be out... don't want to jinx myself) on April 30th! He's one of my favorite broadway actors.

"SPOILERS AHEAD"



THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS. ITS LITERALLY THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. WHAT SPOILERS?

Alex M said: "Has anyone seen James Monroe Iglehart or Brian d'Arcy James in the show? If so how were they?

I saw the show last night, my first time seeing the new cast. I was so thrilled when I heard the news that d'Arcy James returned to the role, and he didn't disappoint. He was great, very very funny. The crowd went wild for him. He wasn't as menacing as Groff in the role, but I felt James brought more of an addled maturity to it. I had seen him at the Public, and it seemed to me (from what I can remember) that his performance hasn't changed all that much.

I also liked James Monroe Iglehart, and I loved that they didn't cast a Daveed clone. Iglehart is an interesting choice. That said, I did miss Daveed! I think it would be hard for anyone to top that performance, as other posters have commented. He brought such verve to the role. Iglehart's rapping didn't compare favorably either. It was especially noticeable during Guns and Ships, not a surprise, as that's one of the more difficult numbers.

But I did enjoy Iglehart. He was very funny, and he can move! I loved that he jumped off the table. I thought that the costuming choice of a do rag with his fancy duds (during the wedding scene) was a bit distracting, but that's a minor point. His What'd I Miss? was as funny as you'd expect.

I went in expecting to see Brandon Victor Dixon as Burr, so I guess I'm a bit behind the times! But I thought Nik Walker was excellent, as was Bryan Terrell Clark as George Washington. I did miss Renee Elise Goldsberry a lot. Like Daveed's, her performance is tough to equal. It was my first time seeing Javier, and he was excellent. What a voice! He managed to sound a bit like Lin Manuel once in a while though!

Overall, I think the show is in great shape. I didn't feel the lack of energy that other posters have noted. I thought the pacing was great, and once I got over the fact that the original cast is gone and not coming back, I had a great time. I still feel very fortunate to have seen the original cast, but for those experiencing the show for the first time, you have a treat in store!

Has Brandon left? I hadn't heard that either - is Nik Walker not an understudy for the role?

Oh I see!

Brandon was actually out when I saw the show in January as well (I saw Andrew Chappelle), I wonder how his attendance is in general.

Loving this Syndee Winters love, she's flawless. Powerful voice, and great acting....with the way, Alysha got promoted to Peggy (well kinda, she left the show but then came back as Peggy full time) could Syndee be a future Schuyler Sister full time?

I thought Alysha was terrific as Peggy/Maria.

Does anyone know when these two gentlemen may be in the show until? Also, anyone have an idea of when Javier is in it until? I'm seeing it again in December and am just curious as to who I may see! Thank you!!
"

Not too sure about Javi, as he has had a few different types of contracts. Also, if you are going on a Sunday in December, you likely won't see whoever is mainly playing Hamilton. However, all of the understudies/standbys are absolutely incredible (I loved Jevon as Hamilton). As for James and Brian, unless they have a shorter/longer contract, they should be in it until next April! For future reference, most principles contracts are for a year! (Unless indicated most of the time, like Josh Groban in Great Comet, leaving early July). "

I'm hoping so! I knew most contracts were for a year, but seemed to remember that there was discussion that the both of them, and in particular BDJ was on for a shorter amount of time. So fingers crossed for the year!!

Last time I saw it, it was when Javi was injured and saw Jevon, who we actually (dare I say it!) liked more than Javi! Both were awesome, but just liked the vibe Jevon gave more.

Thank you!

New block on sale! Looks like they're doing the new Verified Fan thing this time around...
