New Hairspray Tour Cast

[Link Larkin Wanabe]

So this past weekend there were quite a few changeovers as far as the tour cast is concerned (hah...now almost half the cast is the Toronto cast). I was wondering how the new cast is. I was not a big fan of Tara Marci as Amber, but maybe she's gotten better. And I really want to know how Cassie Levy is as Penny. She was delightful in the chorus and has some great pipes...but can she handle the comedy (my guess is yes).

Anyone seen this new cast yet and willing to comment?

It's Caissie, not Cassie. Pronounced like Casey.

I'm also curious to hear about Aaron Tveit as Link.

Aaron Tveit is from my collge. He is amazing. He was just recently in the RENT national tour, now he's Link in HAIRSPRAY. He's incredible.
