Renée Elise Goldsberry, who won a Tony Award for creating the role of Angelica Schuyler in the Broadway hit Hamilton, plays her final performance the evening of September 3 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. The singing actress is currently shooting the title role in the film The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks for HBO followed by a regular role in the new Netflix series Altered Carbon.

Mandy Gonzalez, who created the role of Nina Rosario in the Tony Award-winning musical In the Heights, will succeed Goldsberry beginning September 6.

A Drama Desk and OBIE Award-winning actress, Gonzalez also starred as Elphaba in the Broadway production of Wicked. She has performed with symphonies across the country and around the world, and is currently working on her first solo CD, set to release in 2017. She can currently be seen in the TV shows Madam Secretary and Quantico.

With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, music direction/orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow’s biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. The musical won eleven 2016 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Score, Book of a Musical, Direction of a Musical, Choreography and Orchestrations. Miranda received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Hamilton.

The musical is produced by Jeffrey Seller, Sander Jacobs, Jill Furman and The Public Theater.

The musical celebrated its first anniversary on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre August 6. A touring production begins a 21-week run in San Francisco in March 2017, followed by a 21-week engagement in Los Angeles. A London production will be mounted, also in 2017.
