I'm excited about Rogelio Douglas Jr. and Natalie Toro. I'm not familiar with the rest of the cast, but look forward to their performances as well.


Playbill: Beltran is Usnavi

Beltran looks like a relative of Obama.

Yay Natalie Toro. But for some reason, I'd figure she'd play Daniela.

Toro is definitely more up Camila's alley, IMO, and I figured that was her role when the announcement came out.
I'm not familiar with the majority of the cast, I was hoping some people from the Broadway company would tour with the show (Janet Dacal, for example, though I guess she decided to do ALICE instead). Still, really looking forward to seeing them on their FL stop.

Does anyone find it strange that Sonny looks MUCH older than Usnavi??

Kyle just graduated college this year.

I confirmed the casting of Isabel Santiago for Daniela on 9/4/09:

How tall is Yvette? I know that's a strange question... but I feel like the character of Vanessa REALLY looses something when the actress that plays her is short.

Usnavi looks way too young. And Sonny looks far too old.
