It seems like ever since the show came back from the pandemic they’ve been actively against replacement casting. Curious if this is a directive from management/the producers or the creatives. I could see it beingMatt and Trey have completely checked out from the show and are not signing off on new auditioners."
Yeah normally with long-running shows (i.e. Wicked, SIX, Hamilton, etc.) they do change the leads every 1-2 years.
Is it harder to find actors who can do the role of Elder Price and Elder Cunningham? I would think every year there's a new batch of actors moving to NYC who could audition for those roles (or other brother roles since they'd be in their 20s.)

Cody was recently on a hiatus for 2 months. When he was first in the show and the when the show reopened after covid, he was good. But he's been with the show for awhile and his Cunningham is very full and stale.
