In addition to Alfie Boe, today is apparently Wallace Smith's last performance. Did I miss an announcement of a new Enjolras? It's been a year since Wallace, Brennyn Lark, Gavin Lee, Rachel Izen, and Chris McCarrell (moving up to Marius) started in their roles. Since I had not heard any casting change announcements I had assumed all had extended until the end of the run in September.

 

Has anyone heard of any principal casting changes?

They haven't announced it yet, but: http://lesmizbway.tumblr.com/post/140068041013/aspiringenjolras-this-is-from-rachel-rinciones.

 

PR team being lazy, I guess?

Interesting. I really enjoyed Uhre's Enjolras in Toronto, but his Enjolras also had the worst wig of all time. I pray they burned it after that run.

I was *really* hoping that they would just bump up Jason Forbach, but I heard good things about Mark Uhre.

Same. Every time I go I keep my fingers crossed that Jason will be on as Enjolras. Still, I'm glad I'll have a chance to see someone new next time. Wallace was good but a little underwhelming for me.

Oh I didn't like Mark Uhre's Enjolras at all. I saw him in Toronto and thought he was terrible. Jason Forbach is much better IMO. Sadly Jason didn't get promoted.
