With Guiseppi off to Broadway (break a leg, Giuseppi!) and with Daniel having performed only twice in May, I wonder how Lex and Kyland are holding up? Is there a replacement on the way? These troupers have done, and are doing, great work, and all plaudits go to them. Has there been any news about a possible replacement on the US Tour?? (Ethan??)

Managing the casting of adolescent boys and girls (who change all the time, and are children after all) must require enormous energy - and tact!!!

I am not sure what is going on with Daniel though his one show in Denver had him coughing a few times during his performance though he masked it very well. Ethan Fuller was previously announced in February as the new Billy on tour. He has been traveling with them at least since the Seattle stop that I know of and is given full status as a regular Billy in the Denver program. Ethan is ready to go as he has been on back-up several nights. I am guessing this week we will see the world's newest Billy hit the stage. I am going to try and be there if the timing works out.

I saw on giuseppe's facebook that someone wrote "welcome back"...it could be totally unrelated but a few people on the tour did "like" the post. Did they call him back to tour for a brief time since it's only a 2 billy rotation right now?

Yes. He'll be filling in on the tour for about a week.

Welcome back Giuseppe! Now maybe I can see you in a full performance this next week.
