Harper's been out since Dec. 28, hence why I was asking if she's injured.

so did they hire anyone to replace Kyle Dean? Or is he just staying on?

The tour opens in Pittsburgh tomorrow, does anyone have any idea who's actually in it?? I'm seeing it Thursday and I don't really care who's in it but it would be nice to at least know since it seems it's very much in flux.

The only principles not consistent with the opening night credits at the moment are
Sam Lips as Pippin, Priscilla Lopez as Berthe, and Molly Tynes as Fastrada who is temporarily filling in for Sabrina Harper.

Sam and Priscilla start tomorrow night and Molly has been with the touring company for a little under a week now.

Thank you so much. I'm pretty excited to see Priscilla!

"The only principles not consistent with the opening night credits at the moment are.... "

So.. that is MOST of the principles..... and a few of the acrobats are also gone.

I saw the tour already but I'd be so mad if the cast changed THIS much. Bad enough you're not seeing the original tour cast.

Not seeing the original tour cast for Phantom when it comes to L.A. in june. I guess it's fine..

Why, though, JoseLee_? In my experience, replacements are more than capable of delivering performances that match or even better their predecessors'.

Honestly it works for me because I care much more about seeing Priscilla Lopez than Lucie Arnaz. And the rest of the cast I really couldn't care less about. I'm sure they're all brilliant performers and will turn in wonderful performances so what's the difference.

[DAME]

Posted: 1/19/15 at 9:29pm

There is a difference. For one , as some posters have already mentioned some of the stops have had advertisements with Lucies image. Kyle was also a pretty spectacular Pippin. And Priscilla was my least favorite Bertha of them all. (That is not to say she is not ok in the role). And Priscilla to most people is not a name. There is something really warm about having a recognizable name in that part and in that section of the show. Without a name that roles "tricks" are not as well received because the audience is not rooting for her. Anyway.. that was my experience. I do hope you all enjoy the show.


I am sure it will still be a great show. Just pointing out what the difference is.

I'm sure it doesn't matter who you see BUT it is always nice when all us theatre geeks can talk about seeing the same actors.

Priscilla is amazing as Bertha, but I do agree that not as many people recognize her.

Opening night at the Pantages in LA was electric. With Andrea Martin and Matt Thomas.

Just a month or so later, it was Lucie Arnaz and Kyle Massy. Still very good, but not close to LA. It's too bad the originals couldn't stay for the whole tour...

Matthew James Thomas and Andrea Martin were both temporary replacements, not original tour cast.

[JoseLee_]

Posted: 1/20/15 at 5:21pm

Matthew James Thomas did play pippin first so he's basically the original tour cast

I had a video on here that was shared by a cast member and seems authorized. But since the poster below me seems to be having a beef with it.. I am taking it down.

^ why is there a bootleg video of the original Broadway cast in the thread about the tour?

[Bettyboy72]

Posted: 1/21/15 at 10:19pm

Fame is absolutely right. The energy changes without a known Berthe. Lucie was spectacular and it's sad she left the tour. The audience adored her. It was a treat to see her and Kyle. Kyle is an incredible lead. Having this huge show losing much of it's pedigree does take away some of it's energy. Also Sasha hasn't been on in some time. For all we know maybe she is replaced. She wasn't in the Rochester playbill.

Has anyone seen it in Pittsburgh yet?
