Hogan, now we're talking about two different things. It's been confirmed that Javi will be taking off one performance a week. I, and many others, are curious as to which performance he is scheduled to do so. This isn't a Burr casting question, as your last post suggests.

They explicitly answered this scheduling question during Lin's run in the role—I don't think it's asking for anything too specific or bizarre. Further, shows that have been running for a long time (Phantom comes to mind) are still transparent about their alternates schedule. You've made a molehill into a mountain here.

I agree we are talking about 2 different things but I think if you look back you'll see you're the one changing the subject. ##185-6 clearly are talking about Harcourt going on as Burr, not the Hamilton alternate. You seem to be aware of this in #194. In any event, fwiw, I agree they should be transparent about the schedule for the alternate and I am sure they will be. But the first performance is 10 days away, and it is possible he will not go on for an extra week or so. I gather LMM is doing all performances this weekend.

WTF does trained up mean?

Rehearsed. Replacing a Broadway show means spending a lot of time not only rehearsing the show but also observing - watching the show and shadowing backstage. Because BVD is currently in shuffle along, he likely doesn't have time to properly observe or rehearse until after that show closes.

I don't know you, but I'm so excited for you! Are you going in blind (aka not having listened to the album)?





"

Other then what I saw on the Tonys I'm going in blind. That was first time I had actually heard anything from the show. I slacked on getting tickets and I have no excuse since I live here lol I like going blind into shows whereas my girlfriend will at least read some info about them. We try to see everything that hits Broadway, after this and shuffle along next week we will be down to 6 shows left to see.

There is nothing keeping him from rehearsing now....as long as he honors his contract to Shuffle Along which at this point is usually nothing but performances.



It's not uncommon, when one has been fortunate enough to go from one as how to another

"Replacing a Broadway show"??? You mean replacing someone in a show.



I know what rehearsed/rehearsals means. I never heard "trained up" used anywhere.



I also know he is currently in a show so he has to wait until that's over to start rehearsing. I didn't start seeing shows this morning.

"Trained up" is used in non-theatrical industries haha.

Okay, so I outed myself as not being in the industry. Thanks to everyone who jumped in and clarified. Didn't realize my use of a non-theater colloquialism would cause so much concern (or so many posts). Jesus.

I think "trained up" is maybe some kind of athletic phrase meaning "rehearsed." Kind of like "try-out" instead of "audition."
