I'm excited that Whitney Bashor is involved with Molly Brown, especially if they are grooming it to come to New York with Beth Malone. Fun stuff!
Constantine Maroulis will be an interesting Judas and Ali Ewoldt should be terrific as Philia! And with Gelber and Tartaglia onboard, it'll be like a mini Ave Q reunion.
I wish Missouri weren't so far away...they always line up fab talent for these!

Wasn't he scheduled to take the role on Broadway before Bonnie & Clyde closed and Jeremy Jordan became available again?

It was never officially announced, but yes.
Nice to see him get a chance at the role after all these years.
"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."

It makes you wonder what might have happened in the careers of Johnson, Jordan and even Corey Cott if Bonnie and Clyde had stayed open just a month longer.
