I wouldn't be surprised if he was approached for the NY production, but with it looking most likely that they will have to close at a loss anyways, perhaps they approached him for London since that production looks stable.

I think Porter sometimes plays Billy Porter and takes you out of the performance of the character he is meant to be portraying. That said, the Emcee in this staging might be a good fit for him.

Porter is a very odd choice for Emcee."
Marisha is a thrilling choice and I’m bummed that I will like miss her since my usual London trip (if I have it next year) is in July.

Y’all are hilarious on this board. The man hasn’t even stepped into his first rehearsal and you’ve already decided what he won’t do well. Need I remind you, he’s a Tony Award winner. He hasn’t endured his lengthy career because he can’t act. Give him a chance. Let him not be your cup of tea, then tear him to shreds after you’ve seen it.

People speculate on the appropriateness of casting all the time ... as one might expect on a discussion board even when Tony award winners are involved. Porter isn't being singled out.

According to Paige Smallwood, She'll be returning to the show march 31st. Maybe the show's extending and we're just gullible? maybe their 30$ cocktails are actually helping? No matter the cause, if this show continues I'll definitely be back.

Has anyone done the online rush recently? What were your seats?

I was wondering about that. Didn’t seem like there was any way to cheat this

The show just added dates until January of next year, seeing things pick up is really exciting! Hopefully I'll be able to see it again, and please for the love of god let Gerard Way play the emcee.

Announcement of the next pairing on Monday then ?
And is it either of the pop stars ?

I would love them to bring over both Porter and Marisha Wallace after their West End runs. Neither has been on Broadway in close to a decade and they’re fantastic in everything they do (IMO).

An exchange would be cool as well.
There’s also a performance not on sale on July 29th at 7pm. New gala night ?

They wouldn't announce further replacements before Peck and Noblezada have even started their run.

For some reason (maybe the social posts), I thought cast change was tomorrow. Agreed in that case.
