This reminds me of when Billy Magnussen dropped out of **** Meets Fan last minute, which was also MCC. Weird!"

Didn’t Billy Magnussen leave after performances had already started? I sort of remember him doing a couple of the early previews before i

While never officially going anywhere, cast members were hearing for the 10th anniversary of the original run of Les Miz, that Tom Jones was going to be Valjean on Broadway. Again, not sure how far that ever got in reality.
