Posted: 12/11/14 at 2:12pmHe was a terrific Cunningham on the tour, so I'm thrilled that he's doing it on Broadway.
#204Book of Mormon cast as of late?
Posted: 12/11/14 at 2:24pmHe was hysterical every time I saw him! So happy he's getting to do it in New York.

Posted: 12/11/14 at 7:09pmLoved Cunningham on tour. Wish Mark Evans would do the Broadway or West End cast also.

#207Book of Mormon cast as of late?
Posted: 12/12/14 at 12:11amI'm curious as well... I have tickets to see the 1NT in Houston this January and was really looking forward to seeing Gavin Creel and Christopher O'Neill again

How long do you think Gavin Creel would be contracted to play Elder Price on Broadway? Can someone take a guess? I won't be mad if you end up being wrong 
I'm asking because I might be making a trip to NYC in May and I'm hoping he'll still be playing. I saw him twice in Toronto and I can't get enough!! Peter Mitchell was AMAZING as McKinley too.

myktor: I don't imagine it would be less than 6 months.
icecreambenjamin, which tour?
#212Book of Mormon cast as of late?
Posted: 12/16/14 at 10:08amDavid Larsen, Cody Jamison Strand, Denée Benton, James Vincent Meredith. The only major cast change they've had in nearly a year is that Daxton Bloomquist starts tonight as McKinley.

So Ryan Bondy and the new 1NT Cunningham start in about... an hour?!, but I have no idea who the latter is, since the official site still lists Gavin and Chris. Anyone here seeing the show in Oklahoma City?

Caught the 2nd National Tour in Orlando this past Friday. 3rd time seeing the show, 1st time seeing this company. I agree with previous posters, this cast is AMAZING. I mean really across the board unbelievable. And of course, the Orlando audiences love it!
Side note, tonight is Denee Benton's last performance with the company. According to the Naples program, Candace Quarrels, a sophomore MT Major at Belmont, will be joining the company as Nabulungi. Excited to see this company again in Tampa in a few weeks!

I enjoyed the 2NT this evening significantly more than when I saw the show on Broadway. Cody Jamison Strand was OUTSTANDING as Cunningham. Larsen was fine, but his voice was extremely nasal during I Believe. Denee Benton, a local gal, was also very good.
Overall, this is a fantastic cast that's nailing the jokes and having a great deal of fun. My only quibble would be the size of the orchestra. They sounded rather tinny this evening.

Posted: 1/4/15 at 11:42pmAny word on the who the new Cunningham is on the 1NT? I still haven't heard, but I know a new stand by joined the Broadway cast a week or two ago, so perhaps it was one old stand bys?

Posted: 1/4/15 at 11:46pmPer Twitter, I guess tonight was also Benton's last performance with 2NT. and to add to the size of the orchestra, every company has 9 players, it was the cast recording that gives it a much fuller sound.

Posted: 1/5/15 at 12:01amChad Burris is on the 1NT as Cunningham now!

Thank you! I'm not at all surprised by his move up. I've heard many people say he seems very promising and how his younger look adds to the show. Is Dana Joel Nicholson the only standby now on the tour? They typically seem to have 2, since the 4 worldwide companies all seem to feed from each other.
If we're mentioning company members transfering, I'd love to see Alexia Khadime's Nabulungi on Broadway.
#220Book of Mormon cast as of late?
Posted: 1/5/15 at 12:17amYeah, I'm pretty sure it's just Dana as standby and Michael Buchanan as understudy.

Both Chad and Dana filled in on second national at one point, but both are first national standbys and were standby Cunninghams in Philadelphia. Chad (and Ryan Bondy) are temporary coverage for a few weeks until they announce more permanent casting.
#222Book of Mormon cast as of late?
Posted: 1/5/15 at 9:36amI'm going to assume Billy Tighe is Price after Ryan Bondy.

Saw the show tonight with Gavin and Christopher both on tonight. I was a little surprised at how underwhelmed I was by them.
Gavin's acting was amazing! He made strong choices and really had his beats down, but his voice didn't fill the theatre like Andrew or Nic did. It just seemed weak and not too pleasant. I did do SRO for it, so maybe the acoustics just aren't that great back there. Although the rest of the cast sounded fine.
Well, except Christopher, he definitely struggled with the high notes the whole night. I wasn't a fan of his acting. He didn't look like he was having any fun with the part. I thought his choices were weak and his stakes seemed really low.
Grey Henson was pretty good, not the best singing voice but he was fun to watch.
Nikki Daniels was a delight, I wish she would have gone a little deeper into Sal Tlay Ka Siti. Her Hasa Digga Eebowai reprise was heartbreaking though.
The ensemble was amazing, I watched them half the time. Lewis Cleale looks like he's still having a blast in the show, he's been in it so long you'd think he'd be bored out of his mind, and if he is, it doesn't show.
BOM is still going strong. Jokes are still just as funny.

I saw Gavin in San Francisco twice and again on Broadway. His voice always seemed overwhelmed by the orchestra. It's not just you or just him tonight.
Totally with you on Lewis Cleale. THAT is how to perform in a long-running show.
