There will probably only be two 'band' shows ever running at the same time...

Holy f*cking f*ck. Do we know who's playing what? I'm assuming Quinto would be Harold...but that's just a(n educated) guess.

BWW didn't run that part of the release?!
From Playbill: "Parsons (The Normal Heart), Quinto (American Horror Story), Rannells (The New Normal), and Bomer (The Normal Heart, AHS) will take on the roles of Michael, Harold, Larry, and Donald, respectively, on stage.
The cast will also include Tony nominee Robin De Jesús as Emory, Brian Hutchison as Alan, Michael Benjamin Washington as Bernard, and Tuc Watkins as Hank. The role of Cowboy remains to be cast."

OMG! THIS. WILL. BE. BRILLIANT.
But I am chuckling at this line in the press release:
The role of "Cowboy" remains to be cast.
Mmmmmmm-HMM?...

Who will be whom? Hmmm.... many possibilities, but here's one guess:
Michael Benjamin Washington Bernard
Robin de Jesus Emory
Brian Hutchison Hank
Andrew Rannells and Matt Bomer - one is Larry and the other is Donald?
Tuc Watkins Alan
Jim Parsons and Zachary Quinto - one is Michael and the other Harold? (I think I might prefer it if Quinto were MIchael and Parsons were Harold but I have a feeling it will be the other way around)
