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.

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==
