Christopher Sieber, Brooks Ashmanskas, Beth Leavel & More Will Star in Broadway-Bound THE PROM

Wow, that must mean Ashmanskas' contract in Shuffle Along is either super short, or that he'll be taking a pretty solid departure from the show.

He must have an "Audra clause"

I knew Nicholaw was in high demand, but between Tuck right now, this over the summer, and then Dreamgirls in London... what a hard-working dude.

He might have moved on from Matilda permanently even though he's come back in the past, but I would love if Ben Thompson took over full-time as Trunchbull.





I agree! I've seen all of the Trunchbulls (including Sean Montgomery and Geoff Packard) and Ben is still my favorite.

Just saw this musical in Atlanta, not my favorite but it has potential...any other thoughts? I'm not sure it could do Broadway....

Miss Trunchbull is currently played by Bryce Ryness who came from the National tour. He's been there since Chris left.

That post from 5 months ago was refrrring to Ben Thompson.
