Yeah, but JUST him, and I think prompted by Seth Rudetsky's leak.
They also never formally announced Samantha Ware's fill-in or that Nikki M. James will be back (and that she didn't just leave; she's filming a movie).

"He let slip that Gavin Creel is starring in the tour of one of those shows, and through the process of elimination, everyone guessed it would be BoM."
Really? I would've guessed Elphaba in Wicked. =)

Random, but was just looking through this Dreamgirls tour cast list from a few years ago and 4 cast members are now in the 1st National BoM tour as well as Chicago Nabulungi Syesha being Deena, and another ensemble member. A lot from one show!
Sorry, thought Deena and typed Lorrell. Glad to hear the new leads are good! Does anyone else think Chris O'Neil looks a little older than the other Cunninghams have, though?
Yeah, Chris O'Neill is totally fine age-wise in the show. I wondered about that too before I saw him, but no worries. :) He doesn't look any older than Josh Gad (who also seems to read a little older than pretty much every other Cunningham since, until O'Neill).

Another big star with the tour is Grey Henson, he gave such a wonderful, hilarious performance. I was hooked the whole time. I wouldn't be surprised if he transfered to the Broadway company once Rory's contract is up unless he renews.
