Posted: 4/20/10 at 2:18pmWhoa. There was clearly coming as his attendance has been absolutely atrocious lately.

You all probably shouldn't expect Brian d'Arcy James to replace him. He said that doing the show Off-Broadway was enough and he usually doesn't like to reprise roles.

Yeah. I've seen/read/heard numerous things about d'Arcy James saying that he has no desire to return to the role.
I think alot of this casting depends on whether or not Ripley does indeed tour with the show. If a younger Diana is brought in, I could see Dan being a bit older as well.
I wouldn't be entirely opposed to having Asa Somers rejoin the production, despite many people's opinions on him. He emergency covered the role a couple of weeks ago when Spencer was out and Berry was on vacation. That being said, I think they would love to pull in a "Broadway name" for the role.

Well, he was busy with those concerts which attracted the ire of Frankie Valli.
Wonder if he has some lawyer appointments lined up for May.

Asa is going to be in "The Burnt Part Boys" at Playwrights Horizons

Posted: 4/20/10 at 3:04pmMaybe Michael Berry is getting an upgrade?

Many people are going to be very surprised when the replacement is announced.
Long-time fans of the show will find it exciting, though.
#11J. Robert Spencer to Play Final Performance in NEXT TO NORMAL May 16
Posted: 4/20/10 at 3:10pmI would not be surprised if it was someone like Anthony Rapp or Norbert Leo Butz

Posted: 4/20/10 at 3:12pm^ If that's the case, it would probably be Anthony Rapp.

I would not be surprised if it was someone like ... Norbert Leo Butz

I can't see Rapp in the role at all.
And I don't necessarily see the return of Joe Cassidy all that interesting.
#15J. Robert Spencer to Play Final Performance in NEXT TO NORMAL May 16
Posted: 4/20/10 at 3:22pmI predict Brian d'Arcy James or Michael Berry.

Posted: 4/20/10 at 3:46pmI'm hoping Anthony Rap......
#22J. Robert Spencer to Play Final Performance in NEXT TO NORMAL May 16
Posted: 4/20/10 at 4:15pmI'm really hoping it's not Anthony Rapp...I'd love for Brian d'Arcy James to come back and do it though.
#23J. Robert Spencer to Play Final Performance in NEXT TO NORMAL May 16
Posted: 4/20/10 at 4:19pmAnthony Rapp played the doctor, not Dan. And he would look 16 onstage next to Alice.
