First publicized photo from the production. Platt looks awfully young, but if everyone is raving about him, he must be doing something right.

Yep! Platt's actually 19. I think he's the youngest cast member to ever be in the cast in any BoM production. Nic Rouleau and Matt Doyle are the same age (give or take a year).
Can't wait to see them!

I saw this last night - having see the OBC last year, I had been very reluctant to spend top $ to see this show again with a replacement cast in NYC, let alone a touring company. Boy was I pleasantly surprised.
Long story short - Platt was a standout! I enjoyed him much more than Gad in NYC. I am not sure if Gad had those high notes. I was surprised to hear Platt belting some doozies and some of the runs he was doing were funny and impressive.
Mercado was also fantastic, particularly her comedic timing (I knew she could sing). I had seen her in Dreamgirls and thought she was fairly standard in that production.
Side note: the QB for the Chicago Bears and his wife/gf Kristen Cavaleri were a row in front of me so it was a little distracting. What a handsome couple.
