Lana is able to pull herself together, but Pippa isn't. She somewhat slithered her way onto the stage about a minute after Lana got there.

"You need to get yourself together," Jazzy scolded Pippa. "Are you drunk or something?"

"No," Pippa giggled.

Jazzy rolled her eyes. "This is why we can't have nice things like dressing rooms, Pippa," she said.

"Well, I have a dressing room, I don't know about you," Pippa snorted. Jazzy tossed the nearest thing at Pippa, which ended up being a random sock that someone had left backstage. "Ew, it smells."

"You deserve it," Jazzy retorted, but with a smile on her face.

"Attention cast members!" Daveed said, standing in front of a huge poster. The poster had a bunch of flaps on it, with labels like 'Alexander Hamilton', 'Woman 1' and 'Swing' on them. "I am extremely excited to hold the casting reveal of the second tour rotation. I decided that we should do this in a fun way, because this is a cause to celebrate. And even though many of the people here will not be returning, this doesn't mean that this casting change is a bad thing."

"I agree. I just want you all to know, just because we're leaving doesn't mean that this cast won't still be amazing. It's not because we don't like you. I think we can all agree that we love this tour," Jazzy chimed in.

"First, I will be announcing the members who will be leaving this company. First and foremost, Pippa, aka Eliza, will be leaving. Hopefully for Sound of Music," Daveed said. "Beckett Spencer, as Aaron Burr, will also be leaving, with the possibility of joining the London production of Hamilton. Axel Graham, as George Washington. He's gonna have a kid, so celebrate that. I am leaving, hopefully to start a new Broadway show. Anthony Ramos and Jazzy Jones are leaving, probably because they're going to get married. Elijah Windham, as King George, is also leaving, and he has been confirmed to be transferring to Hamilton Chicago. Erik Asis is moving to LA to get started making some movies. Ariana DeBose, to pursue songwriting. Thayne Jasperson is going to join Dear Evan Hansen."

It was emotional to hear all of the people who were leaving, Pippa had to admit. They had all become like family. Even though she knew everyone was leaving for a good reason, it was still sad to think that in a few months, they wouldn't see each other as often anymore.

"Araella Marquis will be replacing Christy Altomare as Anastasia, congratulations, Araella. Doyle Nash will be a Playbill writer. Louis Roy is joining the pit orchestra of Lion King. Wes Vernon is moving to Beijing for photography. Neil King is going to be assistant stage manager for the new Sound of Music, so maybe he'll see Pippa and Steven. Danielle Sicily will be the dance captain and swing of Hamilton London."

"Those people are the ones who will not be rejoining the company. Thank you to everyone who spent this last year with the tour. We still have two months together."

"Now, on a lighter note, we have some extremely talented replacement actors who have auditioned. Our dance captains, Andy Blankenbuehler and Lin have evaluated them all, and I am so excited for the rest of you. But since I will not be rejoining the tour, I'm going to hand over the leadership reigns," Daveed said.

The cast was quiet.

"I couldn't decide between two people, so they will be co-leaders. First, this person is someone who has been hardworking, caring and reliable. They're extremely intelligent, talented, and already an amazing leader. And that is Oak," Daveed told them. Everyone burst into applause.

"And of course, every guy needs a sensible girl to make sure they don't get too crazy. God knows I needed one," Daveed laughed. "This girl has grown so much over the course of this tour. She is empathetic, considerate, and confident. She knows what she wants and she knows what she can do. She no longer compares herself to anyone. I am extremely proud to hand co-leadership over to Lana Carnell."

Pippa squealed. "THAT'S MY SCHUYLER SISTER!" she cheered.

"So, Oak, Lana, I know you don't know who the cast is, so I'm going to announce it, but from now on, you'll be having more control over what's going on. I'll talk to both of you afterwards."

"But now, what you've been waiting for. I will be announcing each role and giving that cast member a brief introduction. If you're returning, I'll just say your name."

Daveed walked over to the poster with all the hidden photographs. "First, starting with the role of Alexander Hamilton. Brett Rico, obviously."

"The Hamilton alternate is Taylor Hayes, who is currently Simba in Lion King," Daveed continued, revealing Taylor's photograph.

"Next, Eliza Hamilton. The role will be played by Adelaide Soo, Pippa's younger cousin, who played Eliza on Broadway recently at a very young age. I'm very excited to have her coming on. It will be a good experience for someone as young as Adelaide is," Daveed said. Pippa gasped. She hadn't talked to Addy in a while. She didn't know her cousin had auditioned.

"Aaron Burr will be played by Jeremiah Bradley, who is currently in Chicago, the musical. Not the city. He's also the twin of our very own Jessa."

Pippa glanced over at Jessa. To her surprise, her friend did not look pleased.

"Angelica is Lana Carnell, obviously."

"George Washington will be played by Isaac Poole. Right now, he's attending Juilliard," Daveed continued.

"Hamilton Chicago's very own Chris Lee will play Lafayette/Jefferson. He left the company a little while ago, but he said he wanted to tour. We couldn't say no to that kind of talent."

"As Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds is Savannah Rosario, who was in Waitress," Daveed said.

"Rory O'Malley, Broadway's own King George, is returning to the role, but on tour."

"Now for ensemble. Woman 1 is Carleigh Bettiol, who's sick right now so she's not here. You'll have to update her when you get back to your rooms."

"Woman 2 is Kaitlyn Knox."

"Woman 3 is Samantha Pollino, who is a current Hamilton Chicago member," Daveed said. Pippa heard someone squeal, but she was confused, because it sounded like it was Oak. She chose to ignore it.

"Woman 4 is Jessamine Bradley, another returning cast member."

"Those of you who were an Original Broadway Cast member will be very excited to hear who Woman 5 is. She's a clear fan-favorite, and many personal favorites as well. Kasey Winslow is returning to Hamilton," Daveed announced.

"Andrew Chappelle, another OBC cast member, will be playing Man 1. Right now he's a swing for Come From Away."

"Man 2 is Daniel Montgomery."

"Neil Haskell, yet another OBC cast member, is re-joining the cast as Man 3."

"Hubble Lynch is continuing to play Man 4."

"Evan Vincent is Man 5, he currently is in Dear Evan Hansen's ensemble."

"Our remaining swings- Kaley Oliver, Jonas Hunt, and Logan Wood are all staying. Voltaire Wade-Green, an OBC swing, will be joining us. He's currently helping with Wicked. Finally, Stephanie Klemons will be our new dance captain and our swing. She is also a Hamilton alumni," Daveed said.

"There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. The cast of the Second International Tour of Hamilton: An American Musical."
