Does anyone know Ephraim Sykes last performance date in Ain't too Proud? I know he's moving to MJ the musical with previews starting July 6. I've searched this topic, but have come up empty. The reason i ask is we have tickets for April 3rd and would love to see him.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I haven't seen anything yet, and have been curious myself.

If it's any consolation, I saw Ain't Too Proud in July (one of Jeremy Popes last shows), and Sykes was out. Had his understudy and he was INCREDIBLE. So either way, you're in for a treat :)

I think you will be okay, performers usually leave 2 months before they start a new show (with the exception of course being Jeremy Pope!), so you should be fine.

My question answered. So I won't be seeing ES in April; does anyone know much about Matt Manuel and Nik Walker?
