I would absolutely give this show another shot if Bleu was the new lead. (Oddly, this will be his second time as a replacement in a show at the Circle, after Godspell). I don’t need another bland white-boy crooner"

Yeah. God forbid you have a white crooner play a…white crooner.

Jordan starts on April 21.

Who's filling in for Bobby between the end of Groff's run and the beginning of Jordan's?

Jordan will not be performing June 17-18 and July 14-15.

That's three week gap and I don't see the show going on hiatus for that long. I did notice tickets are on sale for those three weeks. Odds are they hire another standby for the role by then.

Is it possible that the Matt Morrison rumors are true but he's doing the tour?

I doubt Matthew had anything to do with it, just rumors that people ran with. Jeremy is charming and sells tickets. Floyd Collins was a very strange choice for Lincoln Center which is why it did not sell. His third Broadway show in one year, how incredibly impressive.

Rumors on another thread are that he may be doing Titanique

Long stretch to try and fill the theater with $69 tickets. And they'd need a second cover for those three weeks.

"Floyd Collins was a very strange choice for Lincoln Center..."

With all due respect, I don't think Floyd Collins was a strange choice for Lincoln Center at all. It was probably an unpopular choice for Jordan fans, and the word of mouth among 'em was: you can skip this one. (I heard some at intermission express disappointment that "this was the show he chose to do." A man next to me, a fan dating to Newsies, left ) An Adam Guettel revival in the house where Guettel had his longest run with Piazza, with the original Collins co-creator and director, feels in sync with the umbrella LCT mission.

I think it was a strange choice in the sense that it is a fairly niche, almost cult show in the musical canon, a far cry from the big classic musical revivals LCT had become known for. South Pacific, My Fair Lady, The King & I, Floyd Collins- one of those is unlike the others. It's closer in tone and style to the new musicals LCT puts up.

I see Kad's point. It's closer to, say, Flying Over Sunset than any revival of golden age pieces. Sidebar: I believe it made fans of Jordan who never saw him before (me, since I never got to Bonnie and Clyde and he was gone from Gatsby.)  I went back to Collins, thanks to TDF. I thought he was remarkable.
