Orion Griffiths's last day in "Pippin" will be Tuesday, October 14, 2014. From his Facebook fan page: "To all my lovely friends and people that have followed me on this journey since pippin began ;Tuesday night will be my last show. It feels almost surreal that it's all coming to an end . This all began two years ago when I was street Performing in San Francisco with my family. I got call from a casting company asking me if I'm interested in doing a musical, the first thing that came to mind
Was I can't sing to save my life, so I said no thanks not really my thing. But I became quite apparent after they had called me back multiple times that They were not interested in my singing but more my circus capability. I'm so glad that I did make this decision because it has changed my life in so many ways.I have made friends for life. I've worked with the best in the industries and learned so much from them. I am extremely grateful for being given this opportunity and excited to take on the next chapter of my life with more knowledge which this experience has given me. To my broadway family thank you."

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Josh Kaufman looks a LOT younger than I thought he would. And thinner.

He looks great. I hope the same is true when he takes the shirt off.

"When he takes his shirt off?" I'd say it's closer to "If he takes his shirt off."

He looks so dead in the eyes I can't handle it. I would definitely not make a return trip to see whoever that small-faced man is.

Meh. I hope he can act! I think the holiday audiences won't care too much about whose in the cast, anyways. The show itself is still in good shape.

Does RBJ's wig look different to anyone else?

I know that comparison is the thief of joy, but those publicity shots do not inspire enthusiasm in me. I feel like I'm looking at stills from some Civic Light Opera company out in the sticks. Anyway, can't wait to see a (seemingly) stronger cast in LA...

her wig is looking as flat as her spirit in those photos. (the hair DOES seem to be more straight...and sleek than the one she had at the beginning of the run)

he looks...like he is charles' slightly younger brother.

He does look better then he did in publicity photos for The Voice, but he just doesn't scream young leading man.

He's nearly 40, he is definitely not a young leading man.

I must say...he looks "extra ordinary".

I would LOVE it if Sasha joined the Broadway cast. Maybe after doing the tour for 6 months they can move her over to the Broadway cast.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I would take Cynthia Erivo, Sasha Allen, Beverley Knight, or Keke Palmer as replacements for Carly.

So Pippin looks older than Lucie Arnaz?

I have a feeling the Pippin u/s will be getting lots of shows in the near future.

I think I read somewhere that Sam Lips is doing some new show soon, so maybe he's leaving Pippins soon?

I know Mike Schwitter is fairly new to the role of Lewis and also covers Pippin...I wonder if the producers will bring in another Pippin cover....

I also remember reading that Ariana Debose is in a new show soon...so maybe a new LP cover as well?

Ariana DeBose is going to be in The Hamilton Mixtape, but will be with the show a little while longer still.

I'd love to see Sasha Allen as the Leading Player, not sure if I can make it to see her on tour, but certainly hope she gets the chance to do it on Broadway. I thought she was great in HAIR, and on THE VOICE she was often accused of being too Broadway.

"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

Beverly Knight is committed to Memphis in London for the next year. Sasha Allen would be great.
