I know cast hasn't been announced but I am following this person on Facebook and she announced it. Skye Alyssa freedman is joining the cast in this production she didn't say what part she is playing though she only knows she a ballet girl. She has done Annie on Broadway as a swing. Congrats to her.

If you look back on the previous page in this thread you will see it was announced last month that Nicholas Dantes and Jamie will both play Billy.
