Hamilton has quickly become a household name, and not because of what children learned in history class. "Hamilton: An American Musical" debuted on Broadway in August 2015, and since then has won numerous awards including 11 Tony Awards. Created by Lin-Manuel Miranda, "Hamilton" follows the life of Alexander Hamilton and the American Revolution. Miranda not only created the musical, but starred in it, playing the role of Alexander Hamilton.

Unfortunately, Miranda, along with Phillipa Soo (Eliza Schuyler) and Leslie Odom Jr. (Aaron Burr), left their roles on July 9, 2016. This marked the end of all three of their contracts. Daveed Diggs, who played Laffayette and Thomas Jefferson, performed his final "Hamilton" show July 15. But they have big plans ahead of them.

Lin-Manuel Miranda handed over the role of Alexander Hamilton to Javier Muñoz, whose first show was July 11. Miranda will stay busy, however, as he is working with Walt Disney Studios on two big projects. He recently finished music for Disney's new animated film, "Moana,"which is expected to hit theaters November 23. In addition, Miranda will star in "Mary Poppins Returns," the sequel to "Mary Poppins."

Phillipa Soo may be leaving "Hamilton,"but she is staying on in Broadway. Soo will star in "Amélie,"a stage adaptation of the indie film by the same name. The show is planning to debut in Los Angeles in December, then move to Broadway in the spring. Soo will also be the voice of Motunui, a character in Disney's "Moana."

Leslie Odom Jr. returned home to host a Fourth of July celebration in Philadelphia. Along with being the host, he also performed songs from his album which includes show tunes and jazz classics. Odom doesn't have any immediate plans for acting and will focus on his music until another role comes along.

Daveed Diggs will stay on stage, as he has been cast as an English teacher in "Wonder."The movie is an adaptation of the best-selling novel by Raquel J. Palaci. Until Diggs's roles are recast, Laffayette and Jrfferson will be played by the understudies, Andrew Chappelle, Austin Smith and Seth Stewart.

Although "Hamilton" has lost a few original cast members, the show hasn't lost steam. As USA Today points out, recent Broadway shows such as "The Lion King," "The Book of Mormon" and "Wicked," have thrived without their original casts. From the looks of things, "Hamilton" won't be any different. It is an amazing show and although the departing cast members will be missed, "Hamilton" will continue to flourish as a pop culture phenomenon.
