Yeah, I'm glad Cody is still sticking around, given the history with Cunninghams not really doing so.
Does anyone know how long Chris O'neil is gonna be with the show? Mark Evans tweeted recently that he'll be with the show until June, does anyone know if Chris is doing the same? He was really great and I would love to see him again!

I've known Matt Doyle was leaving in January as far back as late July, when my partner and I asked him after a performance of "Brooklyn Superhero Supply" in Poughkeepsie. He didn't specify a date then so we bought "Mormon" tickets for January 11 and then had to do some fancy footwork when it came out than he was leaving on the 5th. We're now going on the 4th...in fact, my response to his tweet shows up in that Twitter link.
Has Asmaret taken over for Nikki completely or is Nikki due to come back before leaving again to do Les Mis? Now with Big Fish closing.. I think Krystal Joy Brown would make a great Nabulungi.
I'm wondering about that too; Nikki was supposed to be back last week (or earlier), but she's been tweeting about baking, and Asmeret is still Nabulungi.

Saw the show Wednesday night (Sheer BRILLIANCE!!) Doyle was a very good Price, Strand was simply amazing. Michael Potts has rejoined the cast and was hysterical, as was Loehr. Asmeret was still Nabalungi (Just WOW!!).
yeah, I have to wonder if Nikki isn't returning due to Les Miz. And Nick Spangler is now back, but in the track of Cunningham's Dad(also Elder Pride u/s). Nichole Turner has joined the cast as well, replacing Maia Nkenge Wilson.
Matt Loehr is so fantastic in this role. Not only does he dance way more than other McKinleys, he also has way more of a crush on Price than most!
"replacing Maia Nkenge Wilson"
Anyone know if Maia's got any upcoming shows planned? I found her hilarious in the show...her facial expressions are golden!
Guess who's replacing Nikki... https://twitter.com/Syesha/status/405513348378554368
It's a 2NT reunion!
Comgrats to Syesha!! I guess this confirms that Nikki won't be returning. Now it's a matter of who'll be the new leads for the 2nd national tour.

Then someone needs to tell Broadway.com and BWW that Syesha is replacing Nikki, not Asmeret. Bad phrasing.

Glad that Nikki will get to say goodbye to her "Mormon" family. Looks like she'll be with the show for a month until Syesha takes over. Still wondering who'll be the new leads in the 2nd national tour.
Interesting -- Candice Marie Woods has been on as Nabulungi the past two nights.
maybe Nikki won't be back until Thursday or Friday. no big deal. now, if Nikki's out the entire week, then there's a problem.
Nikki was back last night!
Based on Delius Doherty's instagram pic, Candice was on again as Nabalungi last night. Doherty went on in Candice's track(assuming Camille Eanga-Selenge went on in someone else's track).
For reference, here's the pic: http://instagram.com/p/hrn9gpQ96l/
(Camille was on for Anastacia McCleskey.)
Does anyone know the exact day in Jan that Nic, Ben, and Syesha will be joining the Broadway company?
It's been confirmed via Nikki's twitter that her last day will be Jan. 5. Also, Syesha & Nic left the tour on Sunday. Playbill also confirmed this: http://playbill.com/news/article/185944-Tony-Award-Winner-Nikki-M-James-Will-Depart-Broadways-Book-of-Mormon-in-January?tsrc=hph
I'd assume Syesha, Nic & Ben will join the Broadway company Jan. 7.
Yes. They all have the same first day.
David Larsen & Denee Benton are the new Elder Price & Nabalungi in the 2nd national tour. Both made their debuts yesterday.
