Does anyone know who will star in the cast on the road or if any of the OBC will reprise their roles on tour?

Idina Menzel is doing the first few dates. It says which ones she is doing on the website.
It was also announced that Jackie Burns would be taking over when Idina is done.

It was? A google/site search didn't reveal any info about Jackie - though that would be fairly expected!
I remember seeing it on the board somewhere. It might be in the If/Then tour thread.

Not the cast hasn't been announced. Only the stint with Idina.
I can't find info on the tour cast anywhere but did hear that Jackie would be in it!!

This sounds like it's still in conjecture/wishful thinking territory since there have been no announcements besides Menzel herself, though.
Jackie will be doing the rest of the tour after Idina leaves.
Do you have evidence to back this claim?

If this is true, then why did Jackie say she had no clue the other day?

To say "I have no clue" neither confirms nor denies. So who knows. I know people who say they have no clue until negotiations are complete.

But if negotiations are still going, that means Burns is NOT slated for the tour remainder. "Not yet" could be more accurate, but there's no reason to state it as fact.
Picking up after Menzel is also an unenviable position. Burns stated in an interview that she wouldn't have considered taking a standby role at this point in her career except that IF/THEN starred Menzel in her Broadway return. I do wonder if she'd be satisfied with being in Menzel's shadow again, unless the pay is very good or something.

(Actually, to say "I have no clue" DOES IN FACT deny knowledge. It means "I don't know.")
With Jackie performing for If/Then at the BIC concert, does it sort of confirm that she is going to be replacing Idina on the tour? Also I find it funny that Idina just played the same venue last night. Idina should've planned for two nights in Chicago!

No.

Somebody at the concert yesterday asked if she will be touring with the show and she responded with "You never know" and apparently the way she said it was with a hinting voice.

She is... For the first six cities.
Max, isn't Idina doing the first six cities?

Yes, everyone knows that.
I heard from somebody that the original cast is going to San Francisco.
