nyc_chick02, As it has been said before on here. Unless you actually know Gregory personally then you really have no idea wh it is your talking about. Yes, a lot of actors get replaced in out of town try outs. Even ones who are very very good. It is a business first and foremost. And, if you think that it is direction and nothing to do with the actor himself then the producers will see the same mistakes with the new actor playing Donkey.
But, your over dramatizing what goes on with actors in an out of try out and making them seem like they are the end of the world. But, in reality every actor is aware of all the bad things that could potentially happen when they sign that contract. Yet, they still sign it anyways.
As for the costume, they didn't release a picture of it because it was ever changing. There could be many reasons why they didn't have a PR shot of it. For all we know they knew that the one that was ready by the time of the photos being taken was not going to be the same one that was on Broadway so they didn't take a picture of them yet. Whereas with the Shrek costume they knew that the way Brian was wearing was going to be the one that was going to be used on Broadway. Your starting to come off worse then musicaltheatrefan3
