Hamilton casting call wants women to play Washington and Burr
The Philadelphia production of Hamilton will soon be looking for a mind at work…a female’s mind, in particular.
😱😭😭😍😭😍😭😱
YES!!!!! I DECIDED LIKE MONTHS AGO THAT TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW WHEN THE AMATEUR RIGHTS ARE AVAILABLE AND I DIRECT THIS FOR COMMUNITY THEATER, I’M CASTING A FEMALE WASHINGTON.
You cannot understand how completely fucking psyched I am right now!
I’ve honestly wondered this whole time why they made such a statement about who can tell these stories in terms of race, but beyond Eliza’s storyline didn’t really touch gender at all. Maybe to start out they thought they’d changed enough and weren’t sure audiences would accept more? But now they can be confident that audiences will eat anything out of their palms.
IMO, Hamilton needs to be a guy because of the gender politics at play in his relationships with both Eliza and Angelica. But Burr, yes, could totally be played by a woman, and 200% definitely Washington. Not Laurens (and thus not Philip) because we need the few tiny bits of bi!Ham. Jefferson/Lafayette maybe (I see no story reason not to, but in my head I’d just be surprised to find one who works?), Mulligan/Madison yes.
I’ll shut up now.
