Wowza...hope everything's okay with Steve Kazee.

Dang, the fire must have taken a lot out of Steve ?? Poor man.
I hope all is okay with Kazee but this is much better casting.

His family sure has endured some hardships. I was hoping to catch his Broadway return. Best wishes to him. Happy for Andy who’s always great.

That was a shocking headline. What exactly has been going on with Kazee?? He’s never on my radar.
This is great for the show!
But I still think this is the wrong show for this time.
Steve just recently lost his house in a fire. Here’s a link to a Go Fund Me page to help.

His house caught on fire, losing everything & his grandmother's dog
sad for Kazee, but I will buy a ticket for anything Andy Karl is in so I'm excited.
I’m very excited to see Andy and Orfeh onstage together again. :)
One would think that a house fire would be cause for keeping a job, not leaving it. This sounds suspiciously like a euphemism for a firing.
It wasn’t even his house
I'll echo the sentiments above: I feel sorry for Steve Kazee, but yeah, I have to say I'm looking forward to this much more now.
I thought Steve was as the weakest link of the main cast(minus Jason Danieley, but that wasn’t his fault). Andy will do great and it should be awesome to see him and orfeh on stage together again!

Steve was let go....its nothing new happens all the time to actors. Word is the show is in trouble. The music is floating around the internet...nothing to be excited about. This survives on the title alone...sounds like a flop to me.
Andy is a talented musical theater performer, but he is not right for this. He's camp. Steve wasn't perfect either, but he's much better for it than Andy.
He didn't get good reviews. So it's not that surprising. And I think Karl will bring the charisma that the part needs.

I'm sorry but how many complete bombs can Andy take

In musical theater careers you go where the work is. The actors are not in as high pressure situations as Hollywood ones are if the show dosen't work. It's mostly about how good the show as a whole. It's a broadway show. those aren't that common. of course he should take it. Ask Emily Skinner....she talks about this all the time in interviews.

Andy does nothing for me
I'll pass

Alas fair maiden, pretty you may be
but Andy Karl will not save thee.
For the oldest profession has fallen out of favor
and tainted your show with a sourish flavor.
