Original Hamilton cast member Okieriete Onaodowan has been cast as a series regular in the upcoming Grey’s Anatomy spin-off that will follow a group of Seattle firefighters. This is the first major project for Onaodowan since his publicized departure from the Broadway production of Natasha, Pierre, & the Great Comet of 1812 in August.
In addition to Onaodowan, the cast will also feature recent Groundhog Day star Barrett Doss, as well as Grey Damon and Danielle Savre.
Going from Cole Escola to Betty Gilpin to Tituss Burgess in Broadway's Oh, Mary! isn’t the first time a show has thrown gender norms to the wind with replacement casting.
A portion of the proceeds from the concert will benefit the Entertainment Community Fund's Women's Health Initiative, founded by the late Phyllis Newman.
