Does anyone know who will be in the Book of Mormon in the sit down Chicago cast? I have a ticket for December and am really curious. I know that the national tour announced their cast list a while ago.

As of last month they were still looking for Cunninghams.

David Aron Damane is the General, so not really ensemble.

Hardy Weaver is an Elder. http://ddoagency.com/location.php?location_id=3

I don't know if this means they struck out with their earlier round of Cunningham auditions, but they had auditions in Boston, Seattle and San Francisco as late as mid-late September.

A good friend of mine (who is currently in the Broadway cast) got offered and accepted the role of Elder Price. It just hasn't been released yet in an official announcement. They're still auditioning for Cunninghams this upcoming week.

I know who has been offered and accepted the Cunningham standby...sort of surprised he hasn't been offered the main Cunningham. But, who knows what goes down in the minds of the powers that be.

Anything yet on casting? Aren't they supposed to start rehearsing soon anyway?

I would have thought a release on the principle casting would have made the rounds now, seeing as they have to start rehearsing soon. Right?

I doubt it; he's never even gone on on Broadway.

Wow, talk about last-minute. And it's not like it's a hard role to cast...it ain't Billy Elliot.

It's interesting. They have cast a very wide net in seeking people to fill the casts in these shows. Maybe just another example of Parker and Stone doing it their way.

Disagree that it isn't a "hard role to cast." It seems to be quite difficult to find exactly what they're looking for. Have to actually have acting chops, not just a Jack Black impression.
