I thought we were talking about Orion. I never said he was in the current cast, Just saying that i saw the show and my family witnessed Orion's amazing thighs. LOL

^^ You said you saw Orion in the show LAST WEEK. Wouldn't that imply you were talking about the current cast?

I assumed Ethan meant current cast as of Today : "that is not really the current cast being that many ensemble members left today!", to which i have no idea if Orion is still with the cast or not.

Sam Lips(Cinderella) will be joining the cast on Tuesday. Maybe he's replacing Billy Tighe(u/s Pippin)??
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.

Ariana DeBose will be joining in the coming days as an ensemble member. I'm not sure of exactly when, but Anthony Wayne will be leaving soon to focus in on his new production, Sylvester. With today being Olga Karmansky's final performance, all the acro performers from the original cast have moved on. With the exception of Ferdinand Dudka (sp?), the second cast of acrobats has left, as most of them are going out on tour.
Best to all the new cast members.

jbroadway4,
Ariana performed as the Leading Player (along with Billy Tighe as Pippin) in a small "showcase" of Broadway shows that happened here in Brazil a couple of weeks ago. There is footage of it on YouTube:

Ariana is scheduled to be Rizzo in "Grease" at The Muny with Taylor Louderman, so it's a mini Bring It On reunion, but I think Ariana would be a killer leading player!

I wasn't sure who she was when I first saw the video, but then I saw Ariana's name being mentioned and it looks a bit like her... my bad =(

The new cast started tonight. Things were definitely off during Magic To Do, but the group got tighter as the show went on.
Sascha Bachman was a huge highlight - really made a great showing in all of his acts. But Dmitrious Bistrevsky (the new Rolla Bolla) really stuck out in a bad way the entire show. He's huge and really looked out of place doing most of the choreography. The Rolla Bolla act also was really mediocre. I think he couldn't stick it properly so they just ended early.
Kyle Dean sounded great, and Ciara was pretty good. Charlotte was out, but Molly did a great job. John Rubinstein was really funny, but doesn't have the voice (and especially the higher notes) of Terrance Mann.
Overall it was good, but in a few weeks will be much better.

Mackenzie Bell and Lara Seibert join the company this week. Bell as Player and covering Berthe/Catherine/Fastrada, Seibert as a swing and covering Berthe/Fastrada/Leading Player.

Kristen Beth Williams also joined the cast as a Catherine understudy a few weeks ago.

I wonder if Ann Reinking would be interested in doing a stint as Berthe in this production.

Posted: 9/1/14 at 7:53pm
I could see them doing that the way they brought Priscilla and John to the show! She is the right age. I heard that they will be announcing a new LP and Berthe soon so lets keep our rings crossed!!
Also, from just seeing You Cant Take it With You yesterday I still think Annaleigh Ashford will make a killer Catherine!!! She was SOOOOOOOOO FUNNY in YCTIWY kind of like the same humor Rachel put to Catherine.

Erik Altemus is leaving in September. Any news on who is replacing him as "Lewis?"
#72
Posted: 9/2/14 at 12:10am
I know he was leaving soon, but for some reason, I thought it was October. I think Erik has a bright future ahead of him and we will see more of him. I'd love to see Sam Lips take on the roll full time. I've heard incredibly enthusiastic reviews about his Lewis every time he's been on.
Ciara Renee has said on Twitter she's leaving this month, so mad speculation over a new Leading Player can begin. My picks? Adrienne Warren or just let get Ariana DeBose step in full time. I saw her, she pretty much killed it. I think she could handle the role--she digs the circus training, her dance is already ridiculous, and her acting and singing have improved tremendously over the past few years.

The new Leading Player should be Adrienne Warren. She is absolutely perfect. I hope they don't give it to Syesha Mercado, or Nikki M James.

Posted: 9/2/14 at 8:17am
I have a feeling they will either stunt cast Berthe or the LP or both. It would be amazing though if Adrienne got to be the LP in some point in time, she would kill it!

Ariana DeBose would be a lovely replacement for LP. She is amazing.
