I know that the 7 leading cast members had renewed their contracts through February of 2017. Has there been any news since then on what will happen after that? I have tickets for March and am hoping that they stick around a little longer!

I hope the leads can do what Ashley and Gavin did with Mary Poppins and lead the national tour.
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

I presume Adam will lead the tour. And His sister will take over Jasmine

James Monroe Iglehart talks about how much he loves doing the show every chance he gets. I wouldn't imagine he's planning on leaving anytime soon.

I've just purchased tickets to go see this again and was pleasantly surprised that Jacobs, Reed, Iglehart and even Clifton Davis are still with the show! It's going on 3 years!

How often does this happen? Leads to stay with a show for so long?

Adam Jacobs has two young boys at home -- it seems more likely that he would try to stay with the New York production (if that's his intent) than lead the tour, I would think.
It's not uncommon for actors to remain in roles for long periods of time, especially if it's a long-running show and the money is good. As long as their contracts keep getting renewed, they're looking at guaranteed employment and a good, steady paycheck.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
