I sure hope so. I loved his raincoat of love. I do wonder if Beth Malone would do it.

I was wondering this myself. Seeing the show in Cleveland which is the opening city on the tour.

I can confirm that Emily Skeggs will not be reprising her role on tour.

It wouldn't shock me if Jim Stanek (who by all accounts is excellent in the role) got bumped up for the tour.

I loved the old cast, and I would welcome a new one.

Jim Stanek was fantastic! Maybe Rebecca Luker will join the tour?

Alessandra Baldacchino who is currently one of the two kid swings at Fun Home on Broadway will be Small Alison for the tour.

Nice cast! I wonder though if Kate will step down as president of Actors Equity.... that being said, she'll be great as Allison

Wow Kate will be fantastic, I wasn't sure about catching the tour since I saw it on Broadway but now I might have to (plus I didn't see if Off-Broadway so I'm curious about it in a proscenium).

Am I the only one who thinks Kate is a weird choice? I love her and I'm sure it will be great but she's definitely not the first person i would have thought of. I hope this gets recorded though. I'm curious to she how she'll handle it

I enjoyed Moniz's performance in the Chicago production of Follies. She seems like a decent fit for Helen.

Kate Shindle seems like the commercial version of a butch lesbian for Middle America audiences.

I saw Petkoff in Denver when he played Sweeney Todd earlier this year and he was fantastic. While I'm not sure how he'll compare to Cerveris, I'm excited to see his take on such a complex character like Bruce!

She is odd casting, yeah, but at the same time, it seems a perfect fit. I think she's got the right kind of attitude and of course her voice will be glorious on those songs.

So excited about Kate! Also, I noticed it seems they're having an alternate for Small Alison?
