I already made a post about this and people are saying john Rubinstein will tour with the show
I was fortunate to see Patina. This show is coming to my neck of the woods, the only question I have is will the circus be as good?

Anxiously awaiting the announcement of this cast especially since most of the rumors and speculation are wrong/far fetched.
What are the rumors floating around? All I have heard is that Pippin and the leading player will be the Billy Tighe and Gabrielle m.
I hope they stunt cast Berthe. I'd love to see a cool old celebrity diva tour...

Lgading Player, according to extremely reliable sources is NOT Gabrielle McClinton, but is someone with a great set of pipes that I expect people posting in this thread to be familiar with,
Whether it be on tour or as a future replacement in the Broadway company, I can't think of a more ideal Leading Player for this production than Adrienne Warren.

^ Thank you! I've been suggesting that every opportunity that I get.
Kyle Selig and Sasha Allen!

They are a great pair. I'm excited to see Allen in this. She will be great!
^In addition, "Allen, a finalist on the fourth season on NBC’s The Voice, and Selig (The Book of Mormon tour) will be joined by Tony winner John Rubinstein as Charles, Broadway alum Sabrina Harper as Fastrada and Kristine Reese (Wicked tour) as Catherine.
The company also includes Skyler Adams, Sascha Bachman, Bradley Benjamin, Dmitrious Bistrevsky, Mark Burrell, Mathew deGuzman, Fernando Dudka, Mirela Golinska, Kelsey Jamieson, Preston Jamieson, Lisa Karlin, Alan Kelly, Melodie Lamoreux, Tory Trowbridge, Mackenzie Warren and Borris York."
so Happy for Sabrina I saw her as Fastrada last month and she was AMAZING, and its kind of funny to see Kristine Reese play Catherine because her husband Billy Tighe is currently in Pippin on Broadway! hahahahaha
What a great pair for the tour. Allen's going to be amazing as the LP. Looks like most of the Broadway acrobats will be moving onto the tour. Congrats to all! Also happy for Sabrina Harper as Fastrada!
Such great casting. Can't wait to see this in December. Sasha Allen will be great.
I'm so hoping this plays in Philly. Wish they would announce more dates.
many dates were announced just not on their website if you go the performing arts center website of Phili they will probably say whether Pippin is playing!
Philadelphia announced their 2014-2015 season already, and Pippin is not apart of it.

So glad I got to see Kyle as an understudy for Elder Price in The Book of Mormon tour in LA. He has a fantastic voice.
Many people on here called this casting after Allen was voted off The Voice. Very excited that this is happening for her! She'll be terrific.
I think this is very solid casting. Sasha has a lovely voice and is extremely dedicated to her work--I think she'll put her all into this role and do well. Very happy for Sabrina Harper--second time I saw the show, she was on as Fastrada and I really liked what she did. She wasn't a carbon copy of Charlotte and I liked that.
Berthe's casting wasn't announced, correct? I wouldn't be surprised if they're still trying to pull in an older celebrity/former celebrity for this. I'm okay with stunt casting that part. It works.
I remember suggesting Allen as a replacement for Patina a while ago. It's funny that she was cast. I can't wait to see and hear her in the role!
