No surprises here.

Grant, Lakota-Lynch, and Schmidt all reprise their roles from San Diego. Comer played Paul in the La Jolla tryout, but here replaces Ryan Vasquez (who's working on The Notebook).

Joshua Boone will play Dallas, Emma Pittman will play Cherry, Daryl Tofa is Two-Bit, and Kevin William Paul is Bob. 

Paul reprises his La Jolla role, while Tofa gets bumped up from his ensemble track.

Just like Jordan Dobson last year with Beautiful Noise and Bad Cinderella, now Tofa and Pittman are going from the ensemble of Back to the Future (early-in-the-season opening) to The Outsiders (spring opening).

May OUTSIDERS have a better fate than BAD CIN ;)

Barton Cowperthwaite is supposed to join the cast, but he announced on social media that he’s been diagnosed with stage 2 brain cancer, and it seems significant. So young. Praying for him. https://www.instagram.com/p/CzeaKPEPTGn/?igshid=Y2NkYjk0MDhjYg==
