Well I just went from no desire to ever seeing this again to making sure I’m there multiple times.

Full cast announced. How lucky we are to have Ashley Brown back on the boards- it’s been over 13 years.

Woah, I don't think I realized she hadn't been in a Broadway show since POPPINS! (though she did do a stint in Jack O'Brien's Sound of Music tour as the Mother Abbess)

Rachel Zegler also spoke lovingly about Brown recently on social media, because Brown was Belle when she saw her first Broadway show, BATB.

What a cast!! 

 

I don't believe anyone in this production were part of the 2010 or 2012 versions.

Makes complete sense being that it's an entirely different director, choreographer, and physical production.

The 2013, 2015 and 2017 tours were copies of the 2010 and 2012 Bway versions. They essentially used that same set for five different incarnations. Not sure if that set from equity tours got moved into the later non-equity tours(or the current one).

That’s a quite good cast. As these are all new faces to the title, I wonder if this may constitute a new cast album in the future (though there is a 2015 West End recording for the McKinley production).

Who’s playing Mr. Greenway? I don’t think it was announced in the press release.

Good for Ashley Brown. She's so wonderful and I've missed seeing her onstage.
