As much as I love Audra (and boy, do I LOVE AUDRA)... this casting rumor never excited me much anyway.

Wasn’t totally sold in this before but the casting does it for me.

I am SO here for Taylor as Andy, but I feel like Beth is a little too... I don't know... "predictable" for lack of a better word. She'll be fine, I'm sure, but I would have been so much more excited for Emily Skinner or Vanessa Williams.

Per press release, the pre-Bway production in Chicago has been delayed a full year until July 2021 (not 2020). It's a little odd they would announce Leavel (a talented person who does not mean anything at the box office) a year and a half in advance."

I believe that Beth Leavell will be *wonderful* and I very much look forward to the production.

is this cast being billed as the cast for the tryout, which is well over 16 months away at this point? Or just the cast for next developmental stages? Like, I mean, there’s still a chance Leavel could still be “J Block’ed”

All of the press releases I’ve seen have only mentioned the Chicago production. While I’m sure there will be another lab or workshop (if not several), it does seem that unless something major happens you can expect to see Beth Leavel leading the Chicago tryout.

Really, really, really hoping Heléne Yorke will continue on as Emily. As far as I'm concerned, that was the most inspired casting from reading, and it would be such a shame if she couldn't continue on. I smell big Tony love for that role - and specifically her performance, if she continues on.

Assuming it transfers in Spring 2022 and releases the cast recording that summer, I absolutely feel your pain...
