Posted: 11/8/12 at 6:39pmI'm thinking that's pretty perfect casting.
#2Matt Doyle takes over as Elder Price.
Posted: 11/8/12 at 7:00pmI'm not looking forward to the SRO lines, but I'm curious! I've never seen him in anything.

Terrific casting.
He was my favorite Melchior in SA and the sole bright spot in that awful production of BYE BYE BIRDIE.

Posted: 11/8/12 at 7:30pmI didn't love his Melchior, but I will listen to that man sing ANY day of the week. I wasn't planning on catching this again (was hoping to catch Gavin on tour) but this might just change my mind.

You may not have ended up seeing Gavin on tour anyway... scroll. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2230204/BAZ-BAMIGBOYE-Fames-silver-lining-Bradley-Cooper-whos-longer-sexiest-man-alive.html

Posted: 11/8/12 at 7:56pmI knew something was up. People were congratulating him on twitter, but Matt was denying it. Glad it's official now. Perfect casting.

Posted: 11/8/12 at 8:00pmWhen would you think Creel and Gertners' last performance would be? I had tickets for the Portland engagement in January, I'm still excited to see the show! I wonder who their replacements will be?

I don't think they'd have to leave until January. Hm.
And Jared has confirmed it. https://twitter.com/JaredGertner/status/266712702368485376

Yes! I saw the news about Creel after I posted my "dilemma". He will not make it to Boston! Now if I'm just willing to wait in SRO agian.....hmmmm.
I would guess that Gavin won't do much of the tour after Thanksgiving: they open in London in mid-Jan, yes? (or previews) So I would imagine he'll need to be there in rehearsal soon.

Posted: 11/8/12 at 10:10pmI'm thinking they may drop out of the SF run about halfway or most of the way through; we'll see!
#11Matt Doyle takes over as Elder Price.
Posted: 11/8/12 at 10:16pmThe San Francisco run ends Dec. 30. I would think they'd end with the San Fran. run, have a week or two off and then head over to London. They start previews Feb. 25 & open March 21.

Posted: 11/9/12 at 1:27amAm I the only one who thinks Matt Doyle is a weird choice? I just don't see him as Elder Price. I know most of the guys who have played the role and they're very smiley and sweet guys in real life. Matt doesn't come across quite that way...

^It's called acting.
And it's not an odd choice to me. Matt is gonna rock that score harder than Gavin does.

Posted: 11/9/12 at 9:53amThis is great news! I think Matt is so talented. Just wish there was a way to see him. Oh, well.

Side note:
On the Broadway.com & BWW announcement yesterday, it said that Cale Krise was Cunningham along with the official BOM website. On Playbill announcement today, it said that Will Blum was Cunningham and he's now on the official BOM website.
Was yesterday Cale's last show...?
#17Matt Doyle takes over as Elder Price.
Posted: 11/9/12 at 12:41pmNo. Cale and Will switch off every other week and the website is updated accordingly (s well as the poster outside). Broadway.com and BWW probably only checked the website when they wrote the story and didn't realize there were two Cunninghams.

Posted: 11/9/12 at 12:47pmMark Evans (Ghost in the West End) is apparently the new Elder Price on tour according to the Ghost facebook page

Wow. I'd heard he was in the US, but wasn't sure why.
Could you send a direct link, please? I went to https://www.facebook.com/ghostthemusical and https://www.facebook.com/ghostbroadway and saw nothing.

Mark Evans as Price and Chris O'Niel as Elder Cunningham were briefly up on the Mormon website, but was immediately taken down. Link below should be a print screen.

Posted: 11/9/12 at 1:09pmWhoah. That doesn't work, though -- do you have to be a member of the WOS board to see attachments?

Possibly...

Should say, credit to BAGibb on the Whatsonstage forum for spotting this.

Posted: 11/9/12 at 1:15pmHot damn. Thanks! Looks like they hadn't even fixed the italics tag yet...
#24Matt Doyle takes over as Elder Price.
Posted: 11/9/12 at 5:07pmIs it safe to assume this means that Doyle won't be moving forward with Diner?
