It was actually one of her other sisters, Rachel Dennison.

On TV, Jim Belushi and Brian Doyle-Murray attempted to replace their more talented brothers on SNL.

Has anyone heard any other casting information? The tour will be starting previews in a little more than a month, rehearsals must have begun by now.
I know Ben Fankhauser and Becky Gulsvig as Barry and Cynthia were rumored but never confirmed.

Noah Ricketts from the Broadway cast will be in the tour:

Also, there was an episode of The Ensemblist that listed the Beautiful tour among John Michael Dias' credits, but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else. I assume he'd be in the Neil Sedaka track?

That would make sense. After I posted this I did a little digging on the Beautiful fan Tumblr and saw a newcomer named Nasia Thomas will be in the ensemble.

Other than that, nothing else. Very curious as to who will be playing Genie, Gerry and Donny. Also, if Ben and Becky are still attached since that announcement was leaked back in the fall.

Great cast. I just got my season tickets from the Pantages Theatre here in LA and I noticed that most of the shows cost $105 (based on my package) but If/Then cost $10 more (cause of Idina, most likely) and Beautiful cost $20 more. If this is the cost for season holders, I bet general admission will cost more than regular performances. Will Beautiful be as successful on tour than it is on Broadway and the West End? I think, YES! The Pantages always changes the prices on BIG shows like Wicked, Book of Mormon, Lion King, they know already that it's in that level? Who knows, but I'm beyond excited to see this show. I've listened to the cast recording since it came out. Great cast!

Wow Jose the top price for IF/THEN in Atlanta is $80 bucks as part of a subscription. Of course, we aren't getting Idina. BOM is $99 and Beautiful is $95. General admission will be much more, of course.

"Put away your smugness for a minute. Just because it's been done before doesn't mean people can't find delight in it. There's always going to be a couple MLB no-hitters every season, but just because someone's not the first doesn't mean it's not special."
I wasn't being smug I was just stating a fact that it was done before. If you want to wet your panties as if this casting were the greatest thing since sliced bread go right the fvck ahead.

So honored that you felt the need to message that to me as well. Off to the ignore feature you go!
Anyway, back on topic! I'm glad this was finally announced and I'm curious to see who'll be filling in the corresponding slots on Broadway.

Abby performed the title number at the Broadway in Chicago concert last night. She sounds fantastic and I cannot wait to see her play the role.
