- All the main roles have been cast, aside from Alexander Hamilton and King George III, they are still meeting people wrt these roles. Lin-Manuel Miranda is still expected to appear at some point in 2018.
- Christine Allado as Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds, Rachel Ann Go as Eliza Hamilton, Tarinn Callender as Hercules Mulligan/James Madison, Rachel John as Angelica Schuyler, Jason Pennycooke as Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson, Cleve September as John Laurens/Philip Hamilton, Giles Terera as Aaron Burr, and Obioma Ugoala as George Washington.
- Two of the castmembers, Christine Allado and Cleve September were previously in the London production of In the Heights, which closed at the beginning of this month. Some fans of this production of In the Heights seem to want white British actor Sam MacKay to have some notable role in Hamilton (they want him to play Hamilton). If this happens, this OP will be very angry.

ONTD, will you be seeing, or trying to see, Hamilton in the West End?
