'Hamilton' Fans, Assemble: Here's What You Need To Know About The New Cast

The new cast of the Broadway smash "Hamilton" has been announced, and -- yes -- the actors are as young, scrappy, and hungry as you'd expect.

Here's what we know:

Tony Award nominee Brandon Victor Dixon will take on the role of Aaron Burr beginning sometime in August, replacing the beloved Leslie Odom, Jr. Lexi Lawson will step into the shoes of Eliza Schuyler on July 11, taking over for the "Amelie"-bound Philippa Soo. And on that same day, Javier Muñoz will become Alexander Hamilton (Michael Luwoye will be his alternate) as star and creator Lin-Manuel Miranda departs. 

Dixon is seasoned. He has appeared in "Shuffle Along," "Motown: The Musical," 2005's "The Color Purple" and "The Lion King." (Bonus: he's also appeared in "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," a hilariously valuable experience for Broadway stars, as we learned at this year's Tony Awards.) 

Lawson (whose website is inconveniently under construction) appeared in a touring version of Miranda's first Tony-winning musical, "In the Heights" and "Rent." You might have also caught the actress/singer on "So You Think You Can Dance."

Muñoz, as most of us know by now, has been a part of "Hamilton" for a while as Miranda's alternate. He took over Miranda's role in "Heights" back in 2009 too, so it's safe to say he's ready for the pressure. Before that, he was a full-time manager at 44 1/2 restaurant in New York City.

If you haven't seen "Hamilton" yet, don't worry. A million people are heaving a disgruntled "saaaaaaaame" at this very moment.

But if you read this article and thought, What the heck is "Hamilton"? Whoa. Read this. And this and this and this and this. Then get back to us.
