I don't know which role Cheyenne was in the running for, but according to Riedel's post from a week or so ago the two main characters will apparently be played by "newcomers Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad."

EDIT: I don't know why Riedel called them "newcomers"--after Googling them I see that both are Broadway veterans: Rannells in Jersey Boys and Hairspray, and Gad in Spelling Bee. Updated On: 9/13/10 at 09:58 PM

Josh Gad has also had a fairly successful career in film and television too, with notable parts in 21, The Rocker, Back to You (sitcom with Kelsey), and the upcoming Love and Other Drugs. He's also done some work for The Daily Show.

So yeah, newcomer is definitely not the case.
