New Jack Kelly Standby, coming directly from Tommy Bracco's twitter, is Corey Cott, who graduated from CMU this year. New Newsie is Julian DeGuzman.
Corey Singing
So Julian has joined the cast as a swing and Corey as the Jack Kelly alternate and standby, meaning JP will continue as Sniper.

First off, I really must correct a small but significant typo from earlier.
It previously read:
I'm a dancer, but he and Ryan Steele have such beautiful form and their pirouettes look like a "how-to," just perfect.
Well, I'm NOT a dancer. Read: not. at all. ever. never taken a dance lesson in my life. I just admire dance and dancers and for the most part I think I do a pretty decent job of spotting the good ones :)
Anyway, I'm sad that Capathia is leaving but I have to say that LaVon is amazing! I saw her about 6 years ago in Baltimore's Centerstage's production of "Once on This Island" and her vocals are wonderful. She'll be a great replacement.
an unconfirmed rumor on All That Chat a few days ago speculated that Ron Raines would be temporarily stepping in for John Dossett when Dossett takes a leave of absence to do GIANT.

See, it's funny because I loved Ephraim in Memphis and Rent but thought he got kind of lost in the ensemble in Newsies. He's a great dancer, but because he wasn't featured as much as the other Newsies, say Ryan Steele, the audience didn't know what he was capable of. Still delivered all of the choreography with more than precision. Just IMO.

First Broadway show? Ephraim has three or four credits on Broadway, was a lead off Broadway in Rent, and has been featured in a few dance movies. Not to mention he's an Alvin Ailey graduate. He probably has something lined up next or else he would stay. Alex Wong also had other engagements in LA for SYTYCD, ballet, etc, so it wasn't like he was leaving to go sit at home.
