Has anyone heard any news about casting. Are they going to use the Original Berkeley cast, or recast the show with some Broadway favorites?

Original Berkeley cast

The cast of 19 includes:

* John Gallagher Jr. as Johnny
* Michael Esper as Will
* Matt Caplan as Tunny
* Tony Vincent as St. Jimmy
* Rebecca Naomi Jones as Whatsername

The rest of the cast includes: Declan Bennett, Andrew Call, Gerard Canonico, Miguel Cervantes, Joshua Henry, Brian Charles Johnson, Chase Peacock, Theo Stockman, Ben Thompson, Alysha Umphress, Morgan Weed, Libby Winters with Lorin Latarro and Omar Lopez-Cepero as swings.

Nothing has been posted officially, but the cast SEEMS to be intact.

Since tix went on sale to AE cardholders, I can't imagine too much longer of an announcement.

Rebecca Naomi Jones is still in, at least as far as she is concerned.

Matt Caplan will not be continuing with the show to Broadway.

John Gallagher Jr and Gerard Canonico seem to be set to reprise their roles, as does Brian Charles Johnson.

Also, Leslie McDonel (formerly of Hairspray on Broadway and the Legally Blonde tour) will be joining the company.

Matt Caplan really isn't returning with the cast? How come?

I think Tony Vincent is going to return to the show. He posted on facebook that he was coming back to Broadway. So, I'm guessing he will be in American Idiot. :)

Anybody know why Matt Caplan isn't continuing with the show? Is a choice of his or the show?
