Are these alternate lyrics available anywhere? I'm just curious what changes he made."
Unsure if these are the official alternate lyrics or not, but I've seen regional productions that used "buried sweetly in your raven hair".

I’ve heard raven replace yellow before, too. I don’t remember how they changed the wigmaker bit, though.

I seriously doubt Ashford had to audition, since she is a Tony winner and has played many principal roles on Broadway at this point. I would assume that most of the principals were simply offered their roles with no audition, as often happens (for better or worse). Earlier in the thread it was reported that offers had gone out to several "name" Broadway actors for the supporting parts, i.e. Patrick Page for Judge Turpin, Michaela Diamond for Johanna (who has a working relationship with Groban already). I don't think they even bothered having an EPA. I expect that the show is mostly cast now and that the full cast will be announced soon.
Rumor has been posted on another thread that the Beggar Woman is a Tony Winner from the past decade. Ruthie Ann Miles has been mentioned a few times...

I just went ahead and purchased a full priced seat for the second preview. I am really looking forward to this but I still wish that somehow Lonnie Price could have directed this.
Wish we would get some news on the supporting cast sooner than later.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
My guess is, if they're going at all big on supporting cast, they'll want to do one big announcement with everybody. And if aliceripleyofficial's friend is going for Anthony this week, that might delay matters (although that also might mean they're not going big on supporting -- but maybe aliceripleyofficial's friend is Tom Holland).

I heard offers are out for Anthony and Johanna both with Broadway credits"
Could still be auditioning for ensemble and covers.
