Wonder if something along those lines is happening:

I'd love nothing more than for a new Elder Price on Broadway. But I'd say odds are Simpson is joining the tour.
On another note, OBC Tommar Wilson has left the show to join the HAMILTON cast in Chicago.This leaves just Lewis Cleale, John Eric Parker, Maia Nkenge Wilson, Graham Bowen & Tyson Jennette as the last remaining OBC. Cleale, Wilson, Bohen & Jennette have left the show temporary for another show/project.

I doubt it. A comment there says he's "coming home." And K.J. Hippensteel just left the London cast on Saturday.

Thanks for your input on the two casts. I guess we'll shoot for Melbourne, since tickets are cheaper.

That's a good point — I'd forgotten that! I can't remember exactly what I paid, but I think it was around $100 US for a second-row orchestra seat. I knew I'd never get anything that close here for that price, so I went for it, especially since I was on vacation anyway.
And Jorge, yes!

Liam Tobin from the Beautiful tour is one of the new Price standbys!

and Lewis Cleale has left again. Anyone know what he's up to?

The new West End cast begins performances tonight.
The leads were previously understudies in the Broadway cast: Dom Simpson as Elder Price, and J. Michael Finley as Elder Cunningham.

Good for Dom Simpson! London is lucky to have him!
Posted: 1/29/18 at 3:02pm
I'm glad Dom gets to be full-time and that London finally has their first British full-time Price!
Anyone know who's taking the second Cunningham standby track on Broadway? I don't imagine they're going to stick with one understudy and one standby since they haven't done that for a long stretch in years.

it's always interesting to check PlaybillVault with the cast listings. According to them, Lewis Cleale never left, Nyk Bielak is still a Cunningham standby and their swing list is always incorrect.

Andy Huntington Jones is the new McKinley on tour:

(He's not on the BoM site yet, despite starting tonight. You can thank PJ Adzima for posting this during his takeover.)
Also, IBDB seems to be the place to go for replacement accuracy. I don't really look at Playbill Vault anymore since it plays badly with my ad blockers, but that's surprising, since don't they get updates directly from the productions?

Nic Rouleau just tweeted:
"After 6.5 years with @bookofmormon, it’s finally time to hang up my shirt and tie. This show has truly been #somethingincredible, but my mission will be coming to an end on February 18. I hope to see you all in the next three weeks, where I will no doubt be a blubbery mess."

Nic just tweeted he's leaving the show. His last show will be February 18.

What a great and long run he has had! Hopefully we see him in something else quickly!! Also, any ideas who might replace him? I could see Bud Weber taking over.

Congrats to him, it’s going to be weird to see someone else take that over cause he’s been with that role for so long. Can’t wait to see what he does next though!
Posted: 1/30/18 at 10:34pm
Brian Sears just announced that he is leaving 2/18 as well.

Andy seems like such an odd choice for that role. I’m interested to hear some reviews.
I hope they bring in AJ Holmes to replace Brian!
Posted: 1/31/18 at 9:57am
I'm pretty sure that after Australia, AJ was done with the role, but I also thought that with the 1NT too!
Posted: 1/31/18 at 10:38am
I think Andy will be a wonderful McKinley but anything is better than bland as they come PJ.
From the looks of comments on his lastest Instagram post, I think Cody will be the returning Cunningham we'll see once Brian leaves.

I want to come in and defend PJ but that may be futile now. 
I thought he was adorable and gave off a Scarecrow kind of vibe when he danced. That is all!
In other cast change news, it seems from various instagram posts that several Americans who have been doing the show in Melbourne are not going onto Sydney. I wonder how many will filter their way back into US companies.
