TWITTER WATCH: HAMILTON's Abdicated King, Jonathan Groff, Photographed In Costume Using 1839 Lens

"The King is dead, long live the King," is the traditional proclamation used in England when reigning monarchs, usually upon their demise, are replaced.

But then, Lin-Manual Miranda's Broadway smash HAMILTON is an American musical, so things are done a little differently.

When Jonathan Groff replaced Brian d'Arcy James as King George during the musical's Off-Broadway run, it was more like "The King is starting rehearsals to star on Broadway in SOMETHING ROTTEN!, long live the King.

Now, with Rory O'Malley prepared to take his first swing with the scepter at tonight's 7pm performance, those with enough breath are proclaiming, "The King must begin filming the lead role in David Fincher's new drama series for Netflix, "Mindhunter," long live the King."

Adorned as he once was by his royal robes, Jonathan Groff is the latest subject in HAMILTON's series of portraits taken by photographer Josh Lehrer using his 1839 lens.
