Truly bummed about Mike Faist dropping, but I enjoyed Tom Sturridge in Sea Wall and The Sandman, so I'm not too devastated. Hoping Faist got a great movie role or something.
Faist was the most appealing part of this. Disappointing.
I’m bummed.

Are they offering refunds, that is a pretty major casting switch

Going to be the only one in this thread to say the recasting actually pushed me over the edge to buy tickets. I have yet to be disappointed by any show I've seen Tom Sturridge in.
Sad we don't get to see Faist, but Williams and the play were my primary reason for buying. And BDJ is an added bonus!
The casting of Sturridge pushed us into buying tickets. Faist would have been good - Sturridge could be great. Can see better chemistry now. The previews are very well sold so far. This one will sell out with the play and Michelle Williams attached. The team is quite high profile.
Why was Faist replaced?
I assume he booked a film.
