Love Never Dies US Tour casting

[DrewJoseph]

Hi! Anyone know when they will announce the cast for the upcoming Love Never Dies US tour? The show is slated to open in about two months from now and no word yet on who will star. Any thoughts?

They'll probably announce it on the first day of rehearsal.

They're killing me. Tickets for my area go on sale two weeks from Friday and I really would like to see a casting announcement before then, so I'll know whether to buy just one date or several. If the leads are only serviceable (e.g., if Christine can't pull off the big climb at the end of the title song), I'll probably go just once; if they're strong, I'll be seeing it 2-3 times.

Seems like they should be starting rehearsals really soon.

First rehearsal is August 21.

So that gives them about six weeks to get it down and get on the road. Is that typical?

It's a recreation of the Australian production, so I think six weeks is enough time to plug new actors and technicians into an already existing show.

If this is an appropriate rehearsal period, then there will have to be a casting announcement within the next two weeks or so, right?

Cast press releases sometimes don't go out until the day of the first rehearsal. I guess some producers want to make sure everyone shows up first?
