Stop refreshing the Hamilton London website every twenty minutes. Your cat is judging you. Your phone battery is crying. Just accept the magic is currently elsewhere.
Go see the show anyway. The current Burr is a delight. The Ham is fantastic. The King is probably too much fun. You will have a blast.
And if you’re really desperate for Leslie, stream Hamilton on Disney+. It’s him. It’s perfect. You can pause it to get snacks. You can pause it to cry. He’s right there.
The Coffee Chat Reality Check
So, to sum it all up: No, Leslie Odom Jr. is not in Hamilton London right now. He is not scheduled to be. There is no secret, underground plan. I checked. Twice.
But that’s okay. The London cast is stellar. They are singing their hearts out every night. They deserve your full attention. And your applause.
So buy the ticket. See the show. Drink the overpriced interval wine. And if you happen to see a very handsome, very famous man in the lobby, just wave. Don’t ask him for a selfie. Let the man enjoy his tea. We all need a break.
Now, go book that trip. And give Burr a big, loud cheer. He’ll never be the Leslie Odom Jr., but he’s doing the work. And that’s pretty darn good too. Cheers.
