Looks like Charlie Pollock is George Wilson now. Anyone know if Paul Whitty’s contract was just up?

Ryan McCartan seems like the perfect replacement. Like Jordan, he has a truly beautiful tenor, that "dipped in honey" type sound. Check him out on the Heathers OCR as well as his rendition of "Maria" at Chicago Lyric Opera, which you can see on YouTube. Great, great voice.

Ryan is a great choice. I was honestly expecting them to tap someone who has replaced Jordan in the past, a bit uninspired, this is the opposite of that and very exciting casting.

Saw this with Jordan and Noblezada. Not as shallow as reviews led me to believe. Though there are two moments in the second act the ring false.

A pointless tap number that screams “we’re a musical comedy! 
 

And a duet for Nick and Jordan.

In the novel they date, but can read as queer coded. The Rachel Chavkin adaptation made the queerness explicit. Two allies watching the heterosexual disasters around them.
 

This version has Jordan spend act one in pants talking about how she doesn’t trust men. Then, in act two, she puts on a hideous dress and performs a flirty duet with Nick. It feels strange. Like Will Parker and Ado Annie suddenly appeared to sing “All ‘er Nothin’.” I wondered if this was a commentary on their failure to conform to normal gender roles. Which contributes to their break up. Or if everyone involved found this romantic and didn’t realize the dress was hideous.

Quite a few notable principal cast debuts on Broadway today! Ryan McCartan debuts as Jay Gatsby this evening, who's invited?

Also, how's Terrence Mann doing these days?

I’m going tonight. I haven’t seen the show and know next to nothing from the musical (other than the book I read as a kid). I’m looking forward to it.

They are just singing and have no chemistry or emotional connection at all! Did not feel anything from this! They have big shoes to replace as Jeremy and Eva had great chemistry and sounded beautiful together. Can't say that from this clip.

Saw the show for the first time tonight. I went in knowing nothing about this production. Having read the book as a kid, I am familiar with the story. 
 

I really liked Ryan, Eva, and Alex (on for Noah Ricketts). The music was generally forgettable other than a few songs. Ryan really surprised me as I knew it was his first show. He should get even better as he gets more comfortable. I did notice Reeve Carney there tonight and it was nice to see him support Eva.

I saw the Thursday matinee yesterday. Eva was the standout among the cast (for me). I liked Ryan and thought he made a very good Gatsby. It was fun seeing Broadway legend Terrance Mann on stage again too.
