Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek has announced he will miss the hit show's one-night-only stage reunion Monday night and will be replaced by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
"This is the evening I'd been looking forward to MOST since my angel [and former Dawson's Creek co-star] Michelle Williams said she was putting it together, way back in January," he wrote. "So you can imagine how gutted I was when two stomach viruses conspired to knock me out of commission."
Van Der Beek followed up the disappointing news of his absence with the update that Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel would instead take his spot in the role of Dawson.
Along with Miranda, Monday's Dawson's Creek charity show will feature former stars Michelle Williams, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, Mary Beth Peil, John Wesley Shipp, Mary-Margaret Humes, Nina Repeta, Kerr Smith, Meredith Monroe and Busy Philipps.
The show will include a live reading of the Dawson's Creek pilot episode, which first aired in 1998.
