I'm really excited for this cast and cannot wait to see them in January! I think Sasha Allen is an excellent choice for LP!
Also, really excited about Sabrina Harper. I saw her as Berthe in October and I can't wait to see her as Fastrada now!
Is Sasha a dancer? I'm sorry to see this role go to singers (Like Petunia) and not better dancers. And not a man. (Still beatin' that horse, I know)
I'm surprised some of the Broadway cast are going on tour. Isn't it a big pay dip? Sasha is going to be KILLER though.
With Per Diem, it can actually be more lucrative if you don't pay 2 rents and double up in rooms on the road.
I saw Sabrina on as Fastrada twice (the last time last week)- i must admit that i liked her a lot less then Charlotte. i can't put my finger on it, but something just seemed off about her performance. Also, the audience was a lot less responsive of her the times i have seen her than they were to Charlotte- especially during Spread A Little Sunshine.
However since she will be playing the role full time on tour and doing the role nightly, i am certain that whatever was off when i saw her will be on.

Sasha Allen as the LP is great casting! Hoping she can play the role on Broadway too!
FYI, this is Sabrina Harper & Billy Tighe's final week with the Broadway company. Not sure what Tighe has lined-up next.

Can Sasha act? I know she can sing the heck out of this part, but the LP is more than just a singer; s/he has to know how to carry a show and maintain that sense of mystery and darkness.
It's also Olga's, Gabby's and Luke's last week and Kelsey, Preston, and Orion left the show this week on Twitter Billy said to wait because it will soon be announced what he is doing next!

I saw Sabrina Harper as Catherine and she was great. Can't wait to see what she does with Fastrada.
How did I not hear about Petunia being in this role. I LOVE Petunia.
