I don't keep up with performers contract dates but my guess is King George III in HAMILTON.

I know he was in callbacks for HAMILTON a month or two back! I bet it's that!

HAMILTON seems more likely. Could be King George or even Laurens/Philip.

when he says tickets will sell fast, does he mean tickets are already sold out?? It’s probably Hamilton. Isn’t Medina out for the next two months?

I’m not too sure. That’s why I was asking. I do remember reading in the Replacement thread someone was taking a break.

Honestly after KINKY BOOTS this really is a step down.

Told you! Good for him. Maybe he's not available for a long contract for HAMILTON, or this is just a filler until he joins Hamilton in the Spring?

I'm guessing filler. Don't think the cast will update for a while.

I like his videos but I just don't see/hear him as a Broadway actor. 

Those warbles in the trailer. 

Also is it rude to diss Wicked and Hamilton? Or just sass?

was he good or bad in KB?

Regardless he has a job and must be really happy with chicago . He is employed while much of America does not have employment.

He was fantastic in Kinky Boots and I think by comparison joining the revolving door of Chicago is a step down career wise. But he's a very busy guy with a lot of his own projects going on, and he loves Broadway, so I'm sure when the offer came and he could make it work he was more than happy to take it.

We should all find ourselves so lucky. :)

Forgive my memory, but is this only the 2nd time a black man has played Billy Flynn? (After Usher?)

Wayne Brady, Chuck Cooper, Brian McKnight, Taye Diggs, Norm Lewis, Eddie George & Hinton Battle have all played Billy Flynn before.

I can't imagine he'll move the needle on Chicago's sales. I mean, he's doing it during the holidays, where it'll already be a slam dunk with tourists. Honestly, I don't get a Billy Flynn vibe from him, unless he changes it up and goes dark, like some Billys have.
