Glad to see Carolee in 2 shows in one season!

Joining the cast are Tony Award nominee Carolee Carmello (1776, Parade) as the Machiavellian Stepmother, Grace McLean (Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812) as the ever-exacting Queen and Jordan Dobson (A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical) as the heir-do-well Sebastian.

Morgan Higgins will play the husband-hungry step-sister Marie, with Sami Gayle as the ditzy step-sister Adele and Christina Acosta Robinson as the all-seeing Godmother. Savy Jackson has been cast as the Cinderella alternate.

The cast also includes ensemble members Raymond Baynard, Michael Baerga, Lauren Boyd, Tristen Buettel, Kaleigh Cronin, Josh Drake, Ben Lanham, Angel Lozada, Cameron Loyal, Mariah Lyttle, Sarah Meahl, Christian Probst, Larkin Reilly, Julio Rey, Lily Rose, J. Savage, Tregoney Shepherd, Dave Schoonover, Paige Smallwood and Aléna Watters as well as swings Alyssa Carol, Gary Cooper, Robin Masella, Michael Milkanin, Chloe Nadon-Enriquez and Lucas Thompson.

I need to know the name of the dude with the beard at the end. 

I love that so many people are making their Broadway debuts with this show too!

I might consider seeing this now that Carolee is gonna be the stepmother but it's not certain for me. I've said this before, I was gonna see this show IF and only if Carrie came over from London but that sadly did not happen. However, I think this cast might do well. The only question now is how much improvement did the creative team do from the London run?

Guess not unless she has something else booked.

Grace McLean is definitely the most exciting part of this for me, though I'm excited to see what Carolee Carmello will bring as well.

It feels below Carolee Carmello but I forget she actually hasn’t originated many hit shows.

She’s done Lestat, Mamma Mia, Tuck Everlasting, Finding Neverland… that “below” ship has sailed.

She did Mamma Mia on and off for some time(4-5 years?) and that wasn't a flop. Not a good show, but she was probably the best Donna I saw.

I’ve seen Carolee Carmello in Sweeney Todd, Tuck Everlasting, Finding Neverland, Scandalous, Sister Act, and The Addams Family. She is one of my favorite broadway actors. Her and Grace McLean are the only names I recognize from this cast announcement. Must be a lot of debuts!
