I forgot to mention that Nicholas Christopher, who plays John, was announced as the new Burr with the Hamilton tour, supposedly starting on Jan 6, but he is still with Miss Saigon. He was very good, and I could see him being a very good Burr. Rachelle Ann Go, this production's original Gigi, is also now in Hamilton, originating the role of Eliza in the London production.
I was a little bummed that I didn't have a chance to see Go as Gigi, but the part is very small. I saw a local production that had Gigi be Thuy's main soldier-with-the-gun who threatens Kim, which put an interesting spin on the character and on the relatonships between Thuy, Kim, and Gigi. |
