I agree, Greased Lightning, Sydney James Harcourt was a highlight of the show for me. His "Slow Train Comin'" was amazing. Hope they find a worthy replacement.
Happy to hear about Mare Winningham transferring! Her "Forever Young" was haunting and beautiful. I was hoping that Sheila Atim would be announced too.

Joshua Henry would be an amazing replacement. Physically believable as a boxer, and vocally wonderful.
wasnt Harcourt singled out by awards committees and critics, not to mention reviewers here? Very surprised he isnt going to Broadway with it unless he has something else lined up. (I loved him as Washington in Hamilton...)

I seem to remember he tweeted about how he had a conflict for the Broadway run. Shame because he was my favorite part of the off-Broadway production.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.
I was going to pass on the Broadway production, but now that Jay O. Sanders has joined the cast, I'm going to have to find a way in.
I loved Mare Winningham's rendition of Like a Rolling Stone. I'm so happy she's in the Broadway cast. I will miss Sydney James Harcourt though. He was phenomenal!

When the Broadway transfer was announced, Harcourt posted on Instagram he wouldn’t be doing the show due to another project he’s a part of. Half of me thinks it’s a pilot and the other half thinks he’s playing Curtis is Dreamgirls
What is the reason that they decided to use the London cast for the Toronto run over bringing in the the broadway cast? I’d imagine moving an entire cast across an ocean would be more expensive than it would be to drive through the Niagra border.
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

I definitely prefer Rachel and Jeannette's version.
