No Will Connolly in BE MORE CHILL?

Love this show so much. Will and George made it work so well. It was such a dynamic and honest performance. I met them both after and they were really nice. But to listen 8,000 times to the cast recording, it's a shame the producers or writers or director or whoever decided to take a chance on someone else instead of someone like Will who I think a lot of us really loved in the role. I know this is how it goes. But this was the wrong choice and I hope whoever made it will remember that.

The fact that you think Will Roland is “well known” is comical

Well known to this show's target audience? Absolutely. He's an original cast member of a smash hit broadway musical that the producers of Be More Chill are consciously trying to emulate.

True. And unfortunate, as Oak had a good take on the role. (Saw him twice.)

The young person fanbase of Dear Evan Hansen is really really large.

It's pretty brilliant marketing to cast someone from it in a show that also has a very large teen fanbase.

I looked at Connolly's tweet (very classy) but couldn't help but notice Michael Mitnick's response "A very classy post from a guy put in a really crappy position. Here's to the success of the show, but Will Connolly should be part of it." what does this mean? "a really crappy position"? Anyone think this means anything or is he just blowing smoke?
