Andrew Rannells to replace Jonathan Groff in Hamilton
Written by . Published: October 10 2015
Actor Andrew Rannells is stepping in to temporarily replace Jonathan Groff in hit Broadway musical Hamilton.
The former Glee star is taking a month-long hiatus from the historical hip-hop show and theater veteran Rannells will be taking his place.
Groff will be spending his time off shooting a TV movie to wrap up
his recently canceled HBO series Looking.
Girls star Rannells has made a habit of replacing TV stars on the
Great White Way - last year (14) he took over from Neil Patrick
Harris in hit musical Hedwig & the Angry Inch.
Rannells will hit the stage in Hamilton from 27 October to 29
November (15), and Groff is scheduled to return on 1 December
(15).
