I thought Aaron was leaving tomorrow, though.

Catch Me if You Can begins July 23rd, but Aaron leaves after tomorrow night because he's starting rehearsal. Kyle will start performances this week.

I assume Catch Me extends a week in Seattle, and Aaron will be back around the beginning of September.

Really hoping that somehow Tveit will perform in N2N on Tuesday after the Tonys.

Maybe Aaron wants to rest for his last 2 performances and the tonys?

Per Broadway.com: "Kyle Dean Massey is set to join the cast of Next to Normal as Gabe. Massey, who replaces original star Aaron Tveit, begins performances at the Booth Theatre on June 9, 2009. Tveit is departing the production to prepare for his role in the Seattle run of Catch Me If You Can. He plays his final performance on June 6 and returns to the role on September 7."

Jordangirl, did Tim Young seem like he just found out on his status or like it was planned?

[jordangirl]

Posted: 6/5/09 at 7:09pm

It was posted 30 minutes ago. And since this will be his Broadway debut... I'd think he would have put it out as soon as he knew.

I saw Timothy Young in the role one time in DC. He wasn't bad.

[jordangirl]

Posted: 6/5/09 at 7:11pm

The WTF is more that it would have been Aaron's third to last performance.

[Harpz2006]

Posted: 6/5/09 at 7:15pm

Maybe his voice was straining today or something? Interesting...

I think Kyle will do a great job! I will seeing the show with him in August.
