As Musical Fanatic mentioned in his review, Luke Trevisan has officially left the show as of the June 27 Sun Eve performance.

Welcome to the newest small boy Alex Dreier. Now there are two Alex's in the cast. :) Here is his program bio:

Seth is no longer in the show. I haven't heard anything about how or when he left.

Please welcome the newest small boy Zachary Maitlin. Zach is a very blond small boy. I was privileged to be at his debut performance tonight. After the curtain call, when Greg was making the plea for donations to Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS, he had Zach sitting on his shoulders. Greg mentioned it was Zach's first show, which drew a lot of applause. Zach was really hamming it up as Greg was pointing out the items people could receive for various donation amounts. I will try to get a photo and his bio info posted later in the week.

Yes. Really nice article, BW, thank you for posting.

I love the last line... "Regarding future roles, Alex expressed an interest in "Wicked." And of course, "I do really want to be Billy one day."

Sounds like we could have another Dean-Charles Chapman on our hands :)

For the past several weeks, the BETM official website has not been including the Tall Boys and Small Boys in the cast listings for the Broadway production, Small Boy Gabriel Varga-Watt for the Toronto production, and until the past few days, the Tall and Small Boys for the North American Tour. Sometime in the past few days the North American Tour has restored these roles to a revised ensemble cast listing which now includes the Playbill/program bio of each ensemble member.

Section 7(D)(1) of the Actors Equity Production Agreement that governs Broadway productions, including touring companies, provides that "The official Playbill bio of every member of the Equity company shall appear on the website, subject to approval of the actor." Based on that provision, it appears to me that the Broadway production may currently be in violation of the agreement by omitting Tall Boy Ben Cook and Small Boys Alex Dreier, and Zachary Maitlin from the website cast listing and by not including the Playbill Bio for every cast member.

I do hope the Broadway production restores Ben, Alex and Zachary (and the Toronto production Gabe) to the website cast listings as these talented boys deserve the respect and courtesy of being included just like any other cast member. Their roles may be relatively small, but in their own way are just as important to the overall show as any other supporting role.
