Re. earlier posts mentioning Nathan Amzi I believe he's staying with Rock of Ages for now so not sure how likely he is unless he's resigned a shorter contract with RoA.

Would LOVE to see Mark Evans as Elder Price but desperately trying not to get my hopes up! Olivia Philip who has announced she's got a part has tweeted saying she's off to New York at some point and Mark's also mentioned going back later in the year. When Ghost transferred to Broadway, the Broadway cast all came over to see the London production so I guess the London cast of BoM could all be being sent over to NYC to see the show there before rehearsals start. Guess the clue then would be if Mark & Olivia go over to NYC at the same time but it's probably just all coincidence and I'm reading too much into it.

Nathan originally was leaving ROA but as he didn't get the part he auditioned for (I guess BOM) he then changed his mind about leaving so is staying. So I think chances of him being in BOM now are virtually nil. ;(

I was also told they came back to him with a 'better contract' so I don't think the change was completely down to not getting a part

And the whisper is that Mark's got Elder Price

Where does this whisper come from?

Also, with Nathan seemingly gone...anyone think they know a good Cunningham potential?

People have said to me that they've been told by various performers that he's got it - how much truth is in that I do not know

Random question...does anyone know if Paul Spicer has been up for anything?

[Zippy]

Paul Spicer is great, would be very happy if he was in this. Don't think he's really been in anything since Avenue Q, he's been doing some stuff with his Spekulation production company and some teaching/tutorial stuff I think.

I think people suggested David Fynn for Elder Cunningham - who played Barfee in Spelling Bee at the Donmar (which Josh Gad played on Broadway prior to Book of Mormon)

He has parted company with Speckulation, although he has still been producing & teaching.

I agree he would be great casting.

anyone know when general booking for this opens, not the priority booking?
