Georgina Onuorah takes over from Ava Brennan in Hamilton

West End star Georgina Onuorah has joined the cast of West End hit show Hamilton at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London.

Georgina is covering for Ava Brennan in the role of Angelica Schuyler in the show whilst Ava is on maternity leave.

There are no confirmed dates for when Ava is returning to the show, although Georgina is set to star in Kiss Me, Kate at the Barbican Theatre from 4 June 2024, alongside Adrian Dunbar Stephanie J Block and Charlie Stemp.

Georgina Onuorah’s recent stage credits include starring as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz at the London Palladium, and in the award-winning revival of Oklahoma! at the Wyndham’s Theatre.

It has been all change at Hamilton, as December saw Harry Hepple join the show to cover for Joel Montague as King George III, for a limited run from 15 January to 6 April 2024.

Montague is taking a break from Hamilton in order to star as Harvey Goldsmith in Just For One Day – The Live Aid Musical, which opened this week at The Old Vic.

Hepple’s next gig is starring alongside Imelda Staunton in Hello, Dolly! this summer at the London Palladium playing Cornelius Hackl.

The London cast of Hamilton also includes Declan Spaine as Alexander Hamilton, Simon-Anthony Rhoden as Aaron Burr, Shan Ako as Eliza Hamilton, Emile Ruddock as Hercules Mulligan/James Madison, Jake Halsey-Jones as John Laurens/Philip Hamilton, Simbi Akande as Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds, Dom Hartley-Harris as George Washington and Lemuel Knights as Marquis De Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson. At certain performances the role of Alexander Hamilton will be played by Alex Sawyer.

Hamilton is also running a big UK and Ireland tour this year, and the London production recently celebrated its sixth birthday in the West End.
