If he has a solid falsetto I don’t think it’s that challenging of a roll. But I don’t know his voice.

I was answering my own question from yesterday, when the rumor was that he was starting on 11/21.  Our tickets are for 11-20 and I wondered who would be Orpheus.  Now I know he starts 11/20.  That’s all

Jordan does really well with contemporary scores. He was wonderful in both Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen. His voice didn't work as Anthony and that's okay. People want to be dramatic and suggest he left because he didn't get a Tony nomination, but that is false. He always does 4 month contracts or less for Broadway, that's just his thing. 

He will be wonderful as Orpheus because he sings beautifully and he's very emotional. Apparently he found Jesus or God this Summer? He could have found Oscar the Grouch in his garbage cans, I truly don't care as long as his attendance is solid. I remember how many of his fans were disappointed during DEH to miss him which was quite frequently. Great casting and that pairing is straight up gorgeous.

Reeve was by far the weakest part of this production and made so many cringy choices I am so glad someone else is finally coming in to play this part

I thought Reeve was the weakest part of the show but I don't see Jordan being an improvement. Was hoping for someone sensational to take over. Really think this kills my desire to see it again.
