Certainly sounds like Tveit…or Jeremy Jordan? I can’t imagine him leaving Gatsby for an LCT production though. The only other person I can think of who fits that description and would be a decent fit is Jordan Fisher.

Leaving GATSBY after a year would be totally appropriate. This is also an awardsy role. (If it's indeed JJ –– that description could suit many people)

It's Jeremy Jordan.
It will be well-sung and devoid of any emotion that requires more than arching his eyebrows.
Guess the above poster is right bc Jordan posted today about his departure from Gatsby, and said, “I guess we’ll be hearing why soon…”

Sweaty Oracle is saying folk singer Lizzy McAlpine will be Nellie and Taylor Trensch and Jason Gotay are attached, assuming one of them is the brother?

Lizzy would be quite a get. Jason is probably too old for the brother. Not thrilled with Trensch. Never been a fan of his voice.

Trensch as Skeets Miller I suppose.

Whoa Lizzy would be fun. I didn’t realize she was interested in Broadway, but she took part in that concert recently.
I thought it was Pasquale which is why he passed on "Garden..." in Chicago? Unless he's decided to take the part on Broadway.
The rumors were true. Casting news! https://www.broadwaynews.com/exclusive-jeremy-jordan-and-lizzy-mcalpine-will-lead-floyd-collins-on-broadway-full-cast-revealed/

Interestingly enough, I got to see Jason Gotay play Jack Kelly, Jeremy Jordan’s character, in a local production of Newsies back in 2018. Now, they’re going to be playing brothers.
I am so spelunking excited
Is the female lead a big part? Seems interesting to "stunt cast" that part? I love her music and voice, so I'm excited for this whole production.

This casting announcement actually has me worried that I won't be able to afford tickets.

I guess they forgot that the lead role in Floyd Collins requires good acting. I love this show, Jeremy will sound great, but that's it. I was hoping for Pasquale. At least the rest of the cast is solid, Gotay and Trensch will be great.

I've been wanting to see this show for so long! As someone from the region where it takes place, the story of Floyd Collins always stuck with me. I really hope I can get to see it in the spring!!!

If it were up to me, I'd cast Pasquale in practically everything. But I think he would have come across as too old for Floyd.

You're definitely right, he's aged out of it. I would've taken a lot of other actors though.
