Really? Do you know this for sure? That would be very rare on Broadway. Though a brilliant move for this show, as Zach seems to be even more popular amongst fans than Derek.

Great, thank you! I am going to NYC the 16-18th and will see it with this cast one last time :). However, I am surprised they haven't announced anything yet.

If Zach Adkins is replacing Derek as Dmitry, that is wonderful news. I had the pleasure of seeing Zach on as Dmitry back in October when Derek was out and he was absolutely fantastic.

Oh! Must've missed it at school, thank you!! I was worried I would miss them on the 18th, as this is my favorite show :)

Very excited to see who the new Lily is! Wishful thinking but Christine Baranski would probably be hilarious in this, although I doubt she'd take on a supporting role like this.
I'd be surprised if they promoted Zach Adkins to lead Dmitry, but if this is true, then I'm delighted - I saw him go on last fall and his Dmitry was a totally different and totally wonderful version of the character.

Is Lily that much of a role that an actress who is "long overdue" to return to Broadway would want to take this on?
I have seen the show, but idk.

I was thinking this the other day. But, she's too young for Lilly/Sophie.

I'm personally hoping this is him & rooting for him! I'm a huge fan of his dmitry, + some things said on lives/behavior of Zach Adkins interacting with his fans make me a little bit suspicious that he might be? Cautiously optimistic!

I want to throw my opinion out there for the new Lily: Liz Callaway
