Someone on the reddit announcementsaid they work on the show and it is a lead role.
Classy of Caissie to reshare the announcement -https://www.instagram.com/stories/caissielevy/3783229364611678043/
"Absolutely could not be happier for my friend and sis @shobean!! She is the perfect choice to carry Lucy to Broadway in @lostboysmusical""
that could make the best actress race interesting!

Well, I guess I'll have to watch this in the Spring. She was the best part of Hell's Kitchen, so I got high expectations now.
(Will it be funny if she won the Tony over Cassie at Ragtime?) 😬😅

Shoshana is consistently good.
I believe Caissie stayed with Ragtime for the reasons she stated.
I also wonder if she would have left Ragtime had she thought the role was meatier than Mother in Ragtime and could win her a tony.
Excited to see how it all shakes out.
The LB role is not as good as Cassie’s Ragtime role. This is the reason she’s not continuing with it (and family / previews).
she doesn’t want to be a part of another “Ghost”. The shoshana video announcement was enough to make her feel good about leaving LB. - and that tepid song she had to sing with actor Patrick Wilson

Are the rumors about Ali leaving this project true? Big bummer if so.
Hearing he may leave too. investors for producers are jumping off the ship too. Fears of another sinking .

Y’all these fake rumors were started by that angry bald dude on TikTok cause he’s still salty at Michael Arden for the MHE saga.
Ali is doing the show. The only potential conflict could be if The Heart comes in the spring and Paul Nolan has to choose, but don’t believe everything you read on the internet lol
That's not the reason, if he decides to officially leave. There are more than one much more profitable items being pitched to him outside of theater.

That's called an echo chamber. One person says something and everyone just repeats it without question...

This is not true. Let's please stop spreading lies. Gosh, let the show get to previews, folks. I feel like these threads have become gossip columns rooting for failure rather than theater fans excited for the business to thrive.
The show will or won't succeed if Ali is or isn't involved. Because someone is included in a cast announcement and in studio vocal video doesn't mean it will end up that way (see also Cassie Levy) . He's not out yet - but there are other things ... We will see what shakes out
The show/product is the thing.

But you're LYING. Just admit your part here. Let the creatives worry about the success of the show.
we do let the creatives handle the show. It's not our circus or our monkeys. But I wasn't addressing the creatives - interesting you are. .... hmm
Just what is in the air ... f
PTero too brought it up BTW - confirmed we had heard same.

You really make this message board less fun because you enjoy stirring pots, then playing victim or deflecting any responsibility for your own contribution to the conversation. I hope you’re very young and aren’t a grown human making this type of behavior your entire personality. It’s pretty sad.

And god forbid we come to discuss things here.
Go to reddit or theaterboard if you want to police a message board!
Well, Ali posted an IG story just yesterday saying "Can't wait to be back in the room with @thelostboysmusical and @therescues so I can hear this song every day again. We've been cooking up some very exciting things the last couple weeks..."
Doesn't sound like somebody who is on his way out of the production.

Discussions and spreading misinformation are two different things. Let's not be dense. Discuss the facts all you want, but spinning speculation is a waste of everyone's time.
You're both idiots who know f*ck all about this show. Ali is not leaving. He never was leaving. Stop spreading misinformation because you're obsessed with Sweaty Balls and getting likes on a message board. Argue in your dms or have a Xanadu dance fight on the street, I don't care just keep it away from this thread.

Same for you. Just expressing what is heard even if you dislike it or it’s not in your personal, creative or financial interests. You’ll be fine and perhaps attack elsewhere

I’ve been saying this for ages, he’s not only pathetic, I consider him a threat to the Broadway community.
