Here is an update to the story porschesrule posted in May. "Fun Home" will open in April 2015 at Circle in the Square Theater, in time for Tony eligibility. It would be great if they carry over the same cast. Fingers crossed.

Yes, it would be great if Griffin would transfer to Broadway as part of the cast.

Re: Griffin Birney-- Michael, US Tour
Casting for the Broadway transfer of Fun Home has been announced. Most of the previous cast are being retained, except for the two younger boys. Sorry Griffin.

It is a tough business; but the best learn to rise from these setbacks and move forward. Griffin is immensely talented; he will find the next role that suits his talents. Meanwhile, there is school..............
Re: Griffin Birney-- Michael, US Tour
I'm sure it had nothing to do with either boys' talents, those are undeniable. I would imagine it was because both boys grew out of their respective roles, vertically and vocally. Shame, he and little one were great.kport wrote:It is a tough business; but the best learn to rise from these setbacks and move forward.
