Wasn't Tracie Thoms the leading player in some of the early readings/workshops for this production? I wonder if she'll join the cast at some point?

I'm not sure how able a gymnast she is, but I think Shayna Steele could make a great Leading Player vocally. Krystal Joy Brown perhaps?

Tracie Thoms is appearing in David Auburn's new play, LOST LAKE, at Manhattan Theatre Club this fall.

I know that KDM isn't going anywhere, but whenever I think of other people that could play Pippin Corey Cott always comes to mind.

how do you know Uzo is in the mix? As for now a new LP has been determined based on a friend of mine who is close with the production has told me just not who.

Interesting that Uzo would be "in the mix" for a role that's already been cast. An announcement should be made soon about her.

Well, if Ariana is the LP, here is her singing "Simple Joys"

when Ciara & KDM entered the show, they said they were given 5 weeks of rehearsal. So whoever is replacing Ciara has likely been in rehearsals for a few weeks already.

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.

They also said that they were very lucky to get that much time. 5 weeks might not be customary for all replacements.

I'm getting very antsy waiting for the reveal of the new LP. Any day now...

I'm surprised Ciara wasn't in this for very long.

Added: Just read she's leaving to be in Hunchback at La Jolla.

Is Ciara Renee leaving for good, or is she taking a leave of absence and returning post-HUNCHBACK?

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Maybe she will do Hunchback at Papermill, but from her tweets it sounds like she is leaving for good.

It seems that Erik Altemus is out as Lewis. There's a new Lewis in "Pippin." Is Erik joining the tour or is he out-out?

"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)

^ This is now the third post that has said Erik is leaving.

The tour started last week, so unless they went a few shows without a Lewis, that wouldn't make sense.

Also, the tour Lewis has been cast for a while, Callan Bergman.

You guys are really wasting your time speculating. Just wait a few days. Everything is settled and you're all wrong.

Callan is alive and well with the tour. I don't believe he is going anywhere.

What about Michelle Williams as the Leading Player?

The new LP is not a stunt cast. Just wait.

Can you tell us how much longer we have to wait?

No. The cast doesn't even know, because the Weisslers like wasting everyone's time and not giving anyone notice.

Brenda Braxton as the LP anyone?

They seem to be casting the role younger, don't they?
