does anyone know when some of DEH original cast is leaving? I'm seeing the show the day after Thanksgiving and wondering who will still be in it when I go? Thanks!!

Discussed elsewhere, but that is presumably after their contracts end. That said, there is nothing preventing them from signing on for longer...

Laura Dreyfuss said in a q&a that she is contracted until November.

Ben and Laura will probably get the most opportunities from the show and most likely to leave after awards.  It depends on negotiations post Tonys. The rest of the cast is fortunate to have a hit show meal ticket and will stay until a something more desirable comes along. Rachel stayed with Pippin the entire run.

"That's great news! I really want to see Rachel and Mike, as well as Ben and Laura!

I am going to New York the end of May and I want to know if the rest of the cast will be in the show. Also, will Noah Galvin still be doing it in May too? I heard someone say that their contract is over at the end of May but I want to know specific dates so I can still see them before they go.

As to the rest of them....until there is an announcement, it's impossible to know..

Even if that date is true, it doesn't mean anything. Their contracts may expire in May.... at which point, they can all sign on for another six months, and then their contracts would end in November.... at which point, they can all sign on for another six months, and then their contracts would end in May... at which point, you may be seeing a pattern.

Until someone announces they are specifically leaving, their contracts don't matter all that much.

I remember hearing that Kristolyn Lloyd is leaving sometime in February. The rest of the cast is signed on at least until May - as mentioned before some of them might continue. But either way, I don't think the May end-of-contract date has been announced so if anyone leaves it's possible they'll be out before your trip. You could be seeing Taylor Trensch as Evan if he stays on that long.

16:38 Kristolyn says it looks like she's leaving in March. And Trensch should be your Evan unless you're going to a matinee or he's out, I doubt he's got less than a 6-month contract.
