Nicolas Dromard, who is currently playing Fiyero in "Wicked," says on his twitter that he was cast as Bert in "Mary Poppins" on his twitter. He said he will join the Broadway cast of "Mary Poppins" from July 16th till August 22nd and then play the role on tour for a year. Does this mean that he will be an understudy during this time or is he replacing Christian? Is Christian leaving July 15 permanently or is only leaving for a short time?

I have no idea, but just wanted to see that I saw him play the role back when he was an understudy and thought he was excellent.

Considering the rumor that Borle is playing Prior in Angels in America, this would make sense.
