She's all but confirmed it on her Twitter account.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Considering Samantha lives with Emma, then yes. I would think she'd know.
Good for her! She's very talented and this score will sound great in her range.

That's what all the rumors say...but there has been no official announcement.

I enjoyed Hunton quite a bit in Spring Awakening, I look forward to seeing her as Natalie.

Sadly, its not (yet) scheduled to come to Boston and I doubt I'd go down to Providence just to see this. But as they just added dates the other day (Chiacago?) I'll remain hopeful!
I too would like to see her play the role.

Any word on when they're actually announcing this cast?

They don't usually announce the coming of an announcement...but no.
While it could come at any time, it often happens near the begining of rehearsals. I BELIEVE that the show doesn't open until late November -- so rehearsals might night even begin until mid-late October.

I've seen Alexis in another video and I think she's okay. Better singer than actress.
Are you sure Emma's right for the role? In that clip of the song, I don't think she has IT for Natalie. Maybe u/s, but I don't think she should be the lead.

playbill.com lists her as the current Natalie u/s in addition to MacKenzie Mauzy being listed as a Natalie u/s. I assume Meghann is on vacation. Anyone know?

She was outstanding. Absolutely wonderful, especially given it was her first show.
She presents herself as a feisty Natalie in her scenes with others, but in her solo moments, shows a great vulnerability. She also had a wonderful voice. I was impressed. She'll be a fine Natalie on the tour.
