Is Christopher Vo leaving On the Town, then?

Moon Loh's year. I'm assuming this means sticking with SIDE SHOW through the winter, moving to KING rehearsals.

I hope Conrad will still get to have appearances on "How to Get Away with Murder" too

With Christopher Vo leaving On the Town, I wonder if his track will be replaced by Ricky from SYTYCD. Incredibly excited to see Conrad and Ruthie Ann in something new!

Ricky is joining the cast before Christopher leaves.

After this great casting announcement, I want March 2015 to hurry up.

So glad that there will be a 29 piece orchestra again, as in the South Pacific revival. It should be a sumptuous production.

I would imagine MURDER Is done filming by the spring.
And I guess I can see why Here Lies Love had to close. Every Asian actor in NYC seems to be in the show. It's going to be epic.

"have the kids been cast yet?"
Jake Lucas is playing Louis. It says that in the release.

Looks like a great cast! And, plenty of time for Ricamora to, you know, start on a lifting and whey/glutamine regimen. BTW, if you want to see a horror show of yellow face, just do a Google image search on "Lun Tha". Jesus Christ.

Beyond thrilled about Conrad Ricamora and Ruthie Ann Miles. My excitement for this production skyrockets with their casting.

Why are almost all of the actors Asian? What about all those poor out of work white actors?

This cast is incredible, I absolutely can't wait!

odds are King & I runs longer than Side Show. I'd switch shows, too.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
