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.
just noticed on Nikki's twitter that she's mentions Finding Neverland at A.R.T. Is she in the cast, because they start previews July 23. Maybe she's just filling in for Syehsa for 2-3 weeks??

Very interesting! I think it would be odd for them to have someone who's never done the show fill in for such a short time, but hm.
Interestingly enough, Syesha was still in the playbill until Friday. First shows are usually on Tuesdays (I don't know anything about this; I just noticed it was slightly unusual).

I heard that Syesha had her last day last Sunday, there were understudies on for her earlier in the week. Maybe Nikki was supposed to take over on Tuesday, but did not feel ready or something like that? I do find it curious that no announcements were made about this though.
anyone know why PlaybillVault hasn't update the BOM cast list to reflect the current changes??

Re: Sears' Elder Cunnnigham – saw it on Sunday and he was truly fantastic! Hope he gets the chance to do it again. Apparently, Nyk Bielak is coming to NYC after a brief stint in the First National Tour.
Just got home and was happily surprised at how well this show has held up. Saw Ryan Bondy as Elder Price and he is amazing. Besides a few lyric changes (instead of fat white guy, it's now weird white guy and Tears of Nelson Mandela is now something else I don't remember what it was).
I just saw the 2nd national tour this last weekend, and what a thrill they are. If not the productions strongest company. Young, energetic, and top notch. David Larsen has the all American boy pat down. He and cody Jamison strand are the perfect pairing. Pierce cassedy is such a charm, and probably one of the stronger dancing Mckinley's. And for the ensemble, they are fresh and look like they are having a blast.
I'm coming late to this thread, but saw the show on Friday afternoon last week and it was, amazingly, as fresh and funny as it was 3 years ago. Ben Platt is ridiculously funny. Nikki was out, but her understudy, Candice Marie Woods, was splendid. Nic Rouleau, Daniel Breaker, Matt Loehr and Derrick Williams are all terrific. Delighted that the show holds up and that management is keeping the standards high.
