Am contemplating a revisit to this show; and am curious to know if anyone has seen it lately?

I think Hunter Foster is in it again and Gary Beach is also in it...go see it!

Hunter Foster was better than Matthew Broderick. Period.

I haven't seen it recently, but I saw it with Brad Oscar and Hunter Foster, in their original runs, and they were both fantastic. From what I've heard: Gary Beach is definitely worth seeing (kicking myself for being too late with that, but Jonathan Freeman was very good). So, I'd also suggest revisiting it.

All three (Brad, Hunter, Gary) are phenomenal. I highly recommend seeing all of them. Hunter and Brad are my second favorite Leo and Max after Roger and Nathan, respectively. And no one can beat Gary. 
I think Brooks might be back as Carmen as well, and he is excellent too.

I actually saw the show last Sunday and it was a delight. Brad Oscar and Hunter Foster are indeed wonderful. The show was worth it (for me personally), just because of Gary Beach. There's no one better. Brad Musgrove is playing Carmen right now. Bill Nolte just joined the cast 2 weeks ago, and he's a great Franz.
I believe there's going to be casting changes in the upcoming weeks. John Treacy Egan is replaced Brad Oscar Oct. 25th, and Jai Rodriguez is coming in as Carmen November 1st.

Oh duh, I meant Brad Musgrove. ::hits head with hand::
Sorry about that. Brad is my second favorite Carmen and an absolute delight.
I so need to see Jai as Carmen - I smell a 6th trip!

You should definately go and see it. I saw it for the first time on Tuesday and it was the funniest show I've ever been to. Much funnier than Spamalot, which I loved. Brad and Hunter are perfect in the roles, and it's awesome to see an original cast member in the role he originated, AND is about to play in the movie. Brad Musgrove, Bill Nolte, and Angie Schrower are great too. Brad Oscar, Brad Musgrove, and Hunter were all great at the stage door. It was just me that was there so that was awesome.

Angie is fantastic. I met her at the stage door last time and told her that I had seen her 4 times and how great she was. She was so surprised and said that she hoped she had been good! She's the perfect Ulla and has a gorgeous voice.
I'm so sad Eric Gunhus left though...

Really? When I saw it twice this summer there was a note in the Playbill saying someone was a replacement. I figured it was permanent. Oh that's great news - thank you so much!

Eric had left for a small recuperation and they brought in John Bogue from the tour. I think that was his name. He was very funny. Eric is back now though.
