Anyone know who's replacing Nikki?

Based on that I would assume she'll be leaving in a few weeks.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I saw the show every two months or so in the past year and based on my last visit I'd say the cast is in way better shape right now than it was back in winter. Matt Loehr's fantastic (and I was extremely partial to Rory O'Malley) and Nikki's Nabalungi is just as good as it ever was. I saw Candice Woods once and she was really, really good and should Nikki leave soon I would love to see her take on the role.

The changes in Cunningham's been a whirlwind (to put it nicely) but I think Cody's great and plays off Matt Doyle pretty well. As for him, Elder Price has never been my favorite character but I think he's settled in pretty well and added a few choices that make people (including me) laugh at times I normally wouldn't. And he has the best voice of all the Elder Prices I've seen (and I've seen more than I'd like to admit).

Hope it's helpful!

apparently A.J. Holmes(Chicago's Cunningham standby) made his Broadway debut tonight as Elder Cunningham. I'm guessing the new standby, Nyk Bielak, & Brian Sears(new Cunningham u/s) aren't ready to go on yet.

congrats to Asmeret. I wonder when Nikki's last day is.

Nikki tweeted today is her last day for a few weeks, and that she will be back in October. She also said Asmeret will definitely be stepping in.

I wonder if Nikki is working on another project or just taking a (much deserved) break.

yeah, I saw that tweet, too. Likely another project plus some much need vacation time. I'm guessing James will probably be out about 10 weeks.

"Nikki M James?@nikkimjames9h
Today's show will be my last for a few weeks. I am happily passing the texting device to @asmeretyemane. Back in barefeet in Oct."

She's in Fetch Clay, Make Man at NYTW. http://www.broadway.com/buzz/170726/nikki-m-james-k-todd-freeman-john-earl-jelks-more-to-fetch-clay-make-man-at-new-york-theatre-workshop/

Asmeret is a fantastic Nabulungi; I really look forward to seeing her again.

(You guys still don't know how to directly link to tweets?)

Glad I got to see Nikki 3 times. She really is great in the role.

Kyle Selig has been added to the cast as a second Elder Pride standby. Also, Anastacia McCleskey has replaced Carly Hughes as Mrs. Brown.

That was quite a bit of lag time between Playbill Vault putting Kyle up and then Anastacia. And the official site still doesn't list them either!

Neither does the board outside the theatre, but I guess that'll change tomorrow... perhaps by curtain time.

Also, Rodney Earl Jackson Jr. is now in the cast. I assume he's the new Ghali/Darth Vader/Guard since it appears Tommar Wilson is now Gotswana: https://twitter.com/iamMJScott/status/363741353391316992

Yes, Kyle is going to be the "second standby" for Price. He's actually a senior at Carnegie Mellon University! Rodney Jackson is a recent graduate from CMU, and yes, he's replacing Tommar's original track.

Anyone know where Carly Hughes is going? She seems to be working non-stop! Good for her.

Carly is going onto 'Beautiful', I believe.

So is Kevin Duda.

#43

Posted: 8/13/13 at 9:26pm

yes, Duda has left the show as well, Hippensteel has now been placed in Duda's track and remains the Elder Price standby. With Duda gone, this leaves the following original cast members(15 total):
Asmeret Ghebremichael(Nikki James returns in Oct.)
Michael Potts
Lewis Cleale
Scott Barnhardt
Darlesia Cearcy
Brian Tyree Henry
Clark Johnson
John Eric Parker
Jason Michael Snow
Brian Sears
Lawrence Stallings
Maia Nkenge Wilson
Tommar Wilson
Graham Bowen
Tyson Jennette

Weird. And the only other OBC person who's still in the show elsewhere is Jared Gertner.

It's pretty amazing that they still have that many OBC members 2 years into the run...that's over half, no?

Word is, Matt Doyle is leaving January 5th. It seems that Nic Roleau is going to replace him.
KJ Hippensteel is now in Kevin Duda's old track. And Kyle Selig is the only Elder Price standby.

I was told by a cast member of the Chicago (now 2nd national tour) production that Ben Platt wasn’t going to be going on tour with them, but was going to Broadway. Ben is listed as in the company for the national tour, but maybe he will be leaving them at some point to take over on Broadway (or, perhaps, this plan fell through)?

In an interview, Ben's brother Jonah, let it slip that Ben is joining the Broadway company.
And from Nic's tweet, one can assume that he will also be joining the Broadway company again.

They just haven't removed Ben from the site yet. It'll be different by the time they get to Omaha.

I cannot WAIT for Nic to come back.

Do we know who will be replacing on tour if this is true? The standbys or....?
