Looks like BENJAMIN EAKELEY as the Beadle.

Good call.
I was having so much trouble remembering the other male lead and am used to Alex's suit.

He is. And he's really good as the Beadle, too.
This cast looks like it's in great shape, but does anyone else think it's shot kind of weirdly? It's almost like the camera angles are just... too close.

The interviews or the show itself? I think they shot performance scens to give it a little drama but not noticeably so.
What a great piece- I just got my tickets today and can not wait to see this! I saw Judy Kaye when I was in high school (She couldn't have been any older herself) and she just gets better and better.

The footage of the show itself. Whoever filmed this captured some great moments, but the movement and everything felt a little overdone.

Great video, James! I'm so glad the tour is in LA, a place that lends itself to more publicity.
That's a great close-up of the slightly new Beadle costume...slightly altered from Broadway, that might also have thrown you, logan.
I have to give a lot of credit to the little technicalities Edmund notices in the music, he discussed similar things in a Broadway Bullet interview before the tour. There's so many of those little nuances, little connections within the music and it's great that he picks up on them and then points them out.
BTW, those would Ben Eakeley's big hands playing the piano, too

That whole video made me really happy. After seeing the revival on Broadway I truly thought that no other cast could rival that one, but I have to say, after seeing them this past October, this cast comes incredibly close.
Oh, and Edmund Bagnell! Besides being completely adorable and fresh out of college, the boy is so amazingly talented.

Beakeley rocks the shiz out of that pimp suit, even if it does totally clash with the rest of the casts' costumes. And I always did find it interesting that the only person in the cast who got a newly designed costume also happened to be the only good looking one in the bunch, lol.
Emc, I thought the same thing. I laughed when I watched the first preview video. Whoever filmed this and the other tour preview should most definitely not be working as a cameraman.
