Looking forward to who the standbys will be!
Incredible cast for the tour - with a tour cast like this I'm interested to see who replaces on Broadway!

So happy for Maggie! She played Muriel in Muriel’s Wedding the Musical and received wonderful reviews. Her mother is Gina Riley, best know for playing Kim in the tv show Kath & Kim (the Aussie version, not the American remake), but is also a fabulous musical theatre performer.

would love to see Mallory Bechtel play Zoe on the tour!"
I kind of expect her to, but I do not find her to be a very good actress. Kind of dead behind the eyes. But considering the fact that she has a history with the show, I'm thinking she'll probably end up doing it."
What history? didn't know she was involved with the show at some point, I'd also love to see her as Zoe.

Yes, we all are aware that Selma Blair played Kim in the 2008-2009 NBC TV American version of KATH & KIM.

She’s been a vacation swing a couple of times for the show.
and for those who haven’t seen who the standbys are....
“Stephen Christopher Anthony, as the Evan alternate, along with understudies Ashley De La Rosa, Noah Kieserman, Jane Pfitsch, Coleen Sexton and Maria Wirries.”
Did they just forget to mention a standby for Larry or have they not cast him yet?
Stephen Christopher Anthony!!!
Coleen Sexton is an understudy on a tour again? She must really need the work.
Wow.
Well, this is what happened to her this week.

Disappointed but not surprised at the lack of diversity in this cast.
Happy for Jane Pfitsch, she is the Angel understudy in AiA right now, long time broadway veteran!

I've been watching the high school choir video on YouTube with the new Evan and the vocal harmony is just amazing.

Does anyone know if Ben will has the same schedule as the NYC Evan and have an alternate do Wed. and Sat. Matinees? I saw Ben as Connor and would love to see him as Evan!
There is an alternate, Stephen Anthony, which was stated earlier in the thread. I’m not sure if it will be the same schedule. I don’t see why it wouldn’t be.
Stephen Anthony has already gone on a couple of times on Broadway. Was this an emergency situation? (Good for him; I thought he was great in Mormon!)
I know Taylor was on vacation and Bens replacement probably wasn’t ready to go on so they put Stephen on as the alternate while Michael was on.
