They seem to have added a character. As I remember it there were only two other actors in London - her young husband and the music director with whom she rehearses. Who's the new guy? A bellhop maybe?
I realize that sounded like a stupid question, but it's just that, while not a megastar, the last couple times Cumpsty was on Broadway he was playing the lead in 42ND STREET and the second lead in COPENHAGEN (and Off-Bway recently he was doing Hamlet, Richard III, and the like).
They sounded like smallish parts for the type of performer he is.

I see your point, I've never heard of him before, so wouldn't know.
The 4th actor is barely seen or remembered, hence mallardo not realising that he even existed! However, if Pelphrey is "smokin' hot", he is Micky Deans and if Russell plays the piano, I assume he'll be Anthony.
The article clearly states that Cumptsy is Anthony, Pelphrey is Mickey and Russell rounds out the ensemble. Look at the second page where it lists their bios and roles.
With this announcement, it almost guarentees that Follies won't transfer.
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.
some Pelphrey skin, so we can see his talent, but alas no glimmer.
mainly screen caps. There are plenty of handsome face shots with many lengths of hair on Google Image for him.
Will: They don't give out awards for helping people be gay... unless you count the Tonys.

What an undertaking -- to perform a character, not impersonation. Of course every Judy note/gesture of every Judy song is sooo ingrained in our collective memories.. the vocal training for this alone on an 8 perf/wk schedule is monumental. Can't wait. The YouTube commentaries are very interesting indeed.
