Who would you like to see in Hamilton?

As a 24 year old man of color, I can't tell you the emotion it gave me to see a founding father being played by a person of color. I've been fortunate enough to see Hamilton 3 different times with 3 different actors in the role. I've seen a Hispanic man play the role, an African American man play the role and an Asian American man play him. All 3 were great and it was profound to watch the anatomy of the story change when you see different colors of men play the part. It became an African american story, and then an Asian american story and so on and so on. It's a really beautiful show.

Which leads me to my topic. Who would you like to see play Hamilton in the future? And other roles also?



Some of my ideas: Heather Headley as Angelica Schuyler. For the role of Hamilton: Sam Richardson, Adam Jacobs, Christian Navarro ( star of 13 reasons why), Corbin Blue, Keith Bennett ( currently in Lion King).

Yes, Eva. Honestly, if Hamilton had opened a couple of years earlier, I could see Lea Salonga as Eliza. Too bad she wouldn't do it now.

If Hamilton had opened in the 90's, Audra McDonald as Angelica and Lea Solonga as Eliza would have been cool.

Honestly, I love fresh faces in these roles. Think of all the stars this show has found already.

Who would I like to see? A brand new cast every year. Keep it fresh, keep it exciting. Get rid of the stale performances we are seeing right now (on Broadway at least).

I was just about to say that! I would also love to see Loren Lott as Peggy/Maria

I would kill to see Denee as Eliza. 100% would book a ticket and a plane tomorrow if that was announced.

I will echo that I would love to see many fresh faces continue to get their starts with Hamilton. The show is popular enough that they don't need known names, and have the luxury of plucking obscenely talented newcomers into the roles. I would love to see them utilize that more and focus on people who are perfect for the roles and bring something fresh and new

I'd love to see Denee of Eva Noblezada as Eliza, and Rebecca Naomi Jones as Angelica.

If a film ever gets made, Donald Glover as Hamilton or Burr

Hmm, I'd prefer Childish Gambino.

Brilliant.

I’d love to see Denee as Eliza and Adrienne Warren as Angelica, Brennyn Lark as Eliza, Angelica, or Peggy honestly. Ciara Renee as Angelica or Peggy. Heather Headley as Angelica. Saycon would have SLAYED Maria Reynolds a few years ago.
