Should've mentioned it's the original *London cast.

Great news considering how successful the show is. I bet this will help ticket sales in a "experience the concert live" way

Isnt it the second London cast? There were those few (6?) performances at The Arts in 2017 with the actors on the studio recording.

This excites me, because I always felt this cast was superior to the ones on the recording (minus Seymour and K. Howard, who are on the recording. I think there was something special about this cast, that helped in the explosion of Six.

My first exposure was the 2018 West End Live performance - no costumes, minimal choreography, I thnk they'd only been together a week or two at the time - and it had Grace Mouat instead of Aimee Atkinson. But, there was such electricity in that performance that I was sharing it with friends and acquaintances - and my bride made a special stop in January 2019 in London to catch the show (she had a conference in Austria).  We then saw it in the first Chicago run at CST. 

A reminder of the West End Live performance:

Correct! They do state in the press release that they're filming the "original cast" though. 

(also, it's pretty common for shows to want to use the original cast when finally getting a pro-shot, so this is (to me) completely reasonable).
