Current B'way Elder Cunningham??

Posted: 8/22/12 at 5:05pm

Has Cale Krise left the show?? Playbillvault.com lists Will Blum as the current Elder Cunningham, yet BOM's website has Krise in the role with Blum as the standby. anyone know if and why Krise left the show??

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

He hasn't; he was on last night.

thanks!! I think Playbill needs to be informed of their current mistake.

Based on PlaybillVault's updating: Tue-Thu evenings are Blum, both shows on Fri & Sat are Krise and I'm guessing Sun is Blum if they are indeed splitting it 4 & 4. Their schedule changes after Labor Day. However, I wonder if Stone/Parker/Nicholaw are simply seeing which one they want to start the Chicago production in a few months.

Firings because one fan doesn't like the performance doesn't happen. Even if scads of fans don't like him, it seldom happens. Audiences (as a whole) love him, and everything about the show. Obviously, ticket sales are going strong, and that's all that matters.

I saw Cale Krise again this week and he was a lot better than when he first started. Back then he wasn't terrible, but he looked in over his head. Both times I saw him, though, the audience ATE HIM UP. (I've also seen Will Blum, who is a lot stronger in the role -- can't wait to see how this pans out.)

I don't know if this is actually the case, but considering Krise started around the same time as rehearsals for the national tour, I had a theory that he wasn't being given the amount of direction and attention he needed because their energies were being spent elsewhere. His performance wasn't really awful so much as it was one that looked like it came out of neglect by the creative team. But as I said, he's a LOT more comfortable in the role now.

Dramamama, where did PB Vault specify the rotation? I don't see it anywhere now, other than Blum doesn't even show up on BoM's main page anymore, but his own entry lists him as Cunningham.

LizzieCurry- Playbill Vault updates the page daily based upon who is on that performance for Cunningham so if Cale is on today, he will show up on the page. If Will is on, they will change it to say that he plays Cunningham.

based on me checking PlaybillVault everyday is how I came up with their schedule. However, Krise is listed for today, so maybe Krise is doing 5 shows/week & Blum 3/week??

Huh, that's interesting! And I guess no one told them Will was on today.

If only the show's website was as quick and accurate as Playbill Vault... They still have Damane listed as the General.

I wonder who's been updating the official site and if there've been staff changes -- they were super quick when Andrew, Josh, Jared and Nikki left (and when Nikki came back). Those were changed within hours.

Wonder what's going on....maybe it has something to do with shifting casts for when Jared and Gavin go to London?

I doubt it. Replacing Jared, allegedly (due to the website accidentally updating with his name for a few minutes about a month ago) is Chris O'Neill.

yet Jon Bass is still listed as the Cunningham stanby for the tour. Just checked playbillvault.com, and Will Blum has been moved to standby and Krise has left the show. Why not continue to share the role with Bass??

THE CUNNINGHAMS

Broadway: Jon Bass. Standby: Will Blum
Tour: Chris O'Neill. No Standbys
Chicago: Ben Platt. Standby: Rob Colletti
London: Jared Gertner. Standby: Daniel Buckley

Jon went on a few times during the tour, lately, and presumably impressed?
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

I was underwhelmed by Blum's performance, but I'm curious as to why he'd get the boot for Bass.

Also, is Gertner really not opening in London? Where have I been? Any details as to why?

Yes, Jared Gertner is opening in London. Where'd you hear differently?
