Was at the lottery this morning. they gave out over 100 tickets, they had the cast calling the winners One guy won ran up and hugged the whole cast. Very cute.
Very enthusiastic crowd, several standing ovations throughout the show... not sure about the swings, etc., but Thomas Schumacher gave a speech at the end about how the show they originally expected to do 101 performance had over 1,000... most of the creative team took to the stage including Harvey and Howard Ashman, and they basically stayed onstage hugging and such while the orchestra played them out...
"Some have been predicting that Adam Kaplan will play Jack"
Those who made the predication will be disappointed. Adam was passed on for someone else. I do not know who, but I know he was not cast in the national tour.
Um...I just clicked on that link to the speech and it took me to 50Shadesthemusical.com. What gives?
Wait, what? I just double checked, the link works fine. How did that happened?

That's a little bit surprising that he didn't get the role or any part in the show because of his experience in Newsies
From what I understand, he only auditioned for Jack and was not offered any other part. But casting is a fluid situation and this could always change. I was told about a month ago that someone else had been offered the role.
I was going to way how wrong that casting would be until I saw him perform Santa Fe. His voice is a little high, but other than that, he seems like a perfect Jack.
