There have been rumors of Kyle Dean and Claybourne Elder as Andy. I think posting that is definitely a hint.

Maybe Elder is Andy and Kyle Dean is PJ?

Okay I keep re-reading the casting announcement and I just can't get over how amazing the cast is. WOW.

Kind of disappointing Kyle Dean is playing such a tiny role.

This cast. Wow! I can't wait for March 2!

I'm having palpitations over this cast. Now I feel even better about springing for front mezzanine seats.

Could Nikki Renee Daniels be covering Bobbie?! The Jenny track covered Bobbie in London!

Even with Patti I was still not planning to see it. Still not crazy about the gender changes. Then when they announced Lenk I got interested. Now I know I won't be able to resist!

I crapped when I saw this cast list.

The men playing Bobbie’s love interests are all remarkably attractive eye candy and I am HERE FOR IT.

I had the same reaction. I was hoping he'd play PJ (Marta) so at least he'd sing "Another Hundred People." I'm not too familiar with Bobby Conte Thornton since I never watched A Bronx Tale. 

Looking forward to see how Matt Doyle interprets "Getting Married Today." I saw this revival twice in London and Jonathan Bailey was the highlight of the show for me.

NEW CAST ABLUM 👏🏽 NEW CAST ALBUM 👏🏽 NEW CAST ALBUM

I think a new cast album is pretty much a guarantee. Can’t wait.

Interesting the casting announcement called this "Not a replica" of the London production and "some changes". Wonder how drastic they will end up being if they announced it

I was already excited for this show, but this casting announcement is the cherry on top. Cannot wait for spring!

Same. Katrina Lenk is irresistible.

My goodness, this cast is Gold!!! Makes me even more excited to see it. Wonder what the delay is in casting the role of Susan?

Sad we won't get Jonathan Bailey's knockout star turn as Jamie, but I've no doubt Matt Doyle will be wonderful.

Kind of disappointing Kyle Dean is playing such a tiny role.

If he plays Andy anything like Richard Fleeshman did in London, you won't be disappointed in the least.  Of the males in the cast, the character of Andy was second only to Jamie in being the most memorable performance.  

Interesting the casting announcement called this "Not a replica" of the London production and "some changes".

I do find that a tiny bit worrisome as I thought the London production was perfection.  The staging was absolutely brilliant.  There were a couple of set reveals that I thought were jaw-dropping.
