Was expecting a name, but am happier that it is Tony Yazbeck! He is incredible and will probably bring something very good to the part. I'm going January 21, so I'll be seeing Morrison but I support this decision. Good move on the show's part!

Also, this pretty much concludes that an On the Town tour is officially out of the cards now, no?

Yazbeck should be lucky he'll be spending his first few weeks with Kelsey Grammer, but we don't even know how Finding Neverland will continue to do financially without a celebrity.

It's definately inspired casting, but I think it's great exposure for Tony and his talent.

I was kind of hoping he'd go into An American in Paris once Robert Fairchild leaves.

I'm rolling my eyes, but only because WHY didn't I think of this?! What a perfect role for Mr. Yazbeck! And please, please, please PLEASE grow the beard. He'd be, by far, the hottest J.M., no question.

they just might have a name lined-up to replace Grammer as an announcement still hasn't been made for his replacement on Feb. 23. And who knows, the show could lose some steam, see it's sales start to dip and be closed by Labor Day. This would still let Yazbeck do the ON THE TOWN tour if it launches in Oct. [2016].
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.

Interestingly enough, the New York times claims that Tony Yazbeck will only be in the show for a limited time, but who knows how long that could be.

This is wonderful news! While Morrison has a decent enough voice, Tony will sound marvelous and make the underwhelming score a little more palatable.

Will that 'cracker' be big enough for both Jordan AND Carlos to share?

I also think that Finding Neverland has established itself as a 'safe' show that is entertaining,visually appealing and has a reasonably well know story[havn't seen it[apart from the movie]or heard the music]. It's takings will be a roller coaster as 'stars' come in and out but the bread and butter business seems to be there now.
