Does anyone know where I can find out the current touring cast of Deaf West's production of Big River? Is Tyrone and Michael still doing Huck and Jim on the road? I had heard Michael moved to the DC 2nd cast production.

I was wondering this as well - The DC production (2nd Tour) hasn't opened yet, and I can't seem to find the cast anywhere. As far as I know, Tyrone and Michael were still with the 1st tour. However, it wouldn't surprise me if they brought them in to start the Washington, which is a pretty long run and becoming pretty high profile in the Washington area.

Tyrone and Michael both left the first national tour last month.

Garrett Zuercher is now playing Huck, and Jerold Solomon is now playing Jim. (I'm not sure who is now in their ensemble roles.) Garrett's site is http://www.garrettz.net. I saw him as Huck once, and he was wonderful.

The 2nd national tour will star Chris Corrigan and Michael McElroy. Click below for the (almost) full cast list of the 2nt:

So, I guess this means that I will not be seeing Michael McElroy tomorrow night in CT?
Damn!


"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
