So was Tam supposed to be the exchange for Sierra having done LND over on the West End? Or was Rebecca possibly going to the West End with both of them attached?

Likely not. The exchange usually must be in the realm of the same producer, at least. Example: Gavin Creel's run in West End Mary Poppins was the exchange for Lisa O'Hare to go the US Tour of My Fair Lady (both produced by CamMac). He said this in an interview...

My friend saw the Vienna production, and got me the color program, and was not happy with Sierras casting here. He said he thought she just wasn't right for the part. He is glad she is not doing it. He has nothing against her, he just thought it was a poor casting choice.

On a side note: The general manager of the Vereinigte Bühnen Wien (VBW), the producing company and theatre owner behind the Viennese original production of Rebecca, has recently admitted to the press that they are going to invest $500.000 into the Broadway production. This is going to cause some furor over here in Austria, as the VBW are heavily subsidised and owned by the city of Vienna and a potential flop of the show on Broadway could seriously hurt their financial situation.

This will be called Wildhorne like bombast by the critics.
