The original cast of “Hamilton” will film two performances before Lin-Manuel Miranda exits his Broadway show on July 9, the actor’s previously reported final date playing Alexander Hamilton on Broadway.

Additionally, Miranda’s replacement in the hit musical’s lead role was revealed on Thursday — that honor goes to Javier Munoz, who will start the new gig on July 11 and perform seven days a week.

Munoz has been Miranda’s alternate to this point. This won’t be the first part Munoz has replaced Miranda, he previously did the same for “In the Heights,” taking over the role of Usnavi.
