Well, I'm glad they found another lead, but is the original guy back from China yet? Is he safe?

Kennedy Kanagawa was listed in the original announcement in another role - I'm assuming he was the understudy and just got bumped up.

Kennedy made a TikTok responding to criticism made by the Sweatyoracle, this part at the end jumped out at me though: “We have multiple actors in this show that you might never know about, because they have had to pull their name from all press releases. They’re not even listed in the program, because they have legitimate fears over being put on no fly lists, of having their work visa revoked, or worse.”

I just saw Kennedy's response to the sweaty oracle. His response deserves to have so much more recognition, as each one of his points are so brilliantly important.
