I was kind of hoping that Christian Dante White would be cast as Cornelius."

I agree with you Dottie! I loved Christian's performance as Cornelius when Gavin was away. Wow!

Do they bring a passerelle with them? I know for a fact that the Connor Palace in Cleveland (where I saw The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time)and the Benedum Center of the Performing Arts in Pittsburgh (where I have seen numerous shows)do not have a permanent, fixed, passerelle-style stage.Unless the venue has one that attaches to the current stage, the tour will need to bring one. Is this what the Shubert Theater and other venues in the past did? Add a passerelle? Just curious."

The 94/95 Carol Channing tour had the passerelle at the Ohio Theatre in Columbus which doesn't usually have one. It wouldn't be hard at all to tour with one. And I don't believe removal of seats would be necessary as the passerelle usually just covers the front half of the orchestra pit but doesn't necessarily jut out into the audience.

Could not agree more. America is in for a treat with this cast.

That’s awesome. I’m seeing On Your Feet Labor Day weekend and some of the Broadway ensemble members are playing in it too
