That would be Michael Hartung. He's been with the show in the ensemble and understudying Barnaby from the start, but took over as Stanley when the cast changed in January I believe. Absolutely loved his delivery of the Stanley lines!

Couldn’t help but notice him when I saw Bernadette at the end of May. Quite a standout performance and a great dancer. Enjoyed seeing him again last weekend with Bette. Wish he was on the tour.

My mind must be playing tricks on me. Wasn't Michael Hartung always Stanley in the title number, or was it Jess LeProtto? Wasn't it always Michael who runs down the stairs screaming "Rudy!"?

Hey Dottie! Did your colleagues enjoy the cake even though your cat decided to sit on it? ~GuyfromGermany

Nope, he definitely was the replacement Stanley. Jess LeProtto originated the role for this production. Michael was always the u/s for Barnaby, though, but I never got to see him in the role.

Michael Hartung has been Stanley from the very beginning. Jess LeProtto was originally Hank and then replaced by Julian Deguzzman who also played Hank..

Interestingly Jess did not cover Barnaby on Broadway but will be playing the role on the tour. Loved him in Cats- I’m sure he will be fantastic.

He did understudy Barnaby. He started understudying him September 26th according to Playbill.com
