This is an interesting bit of news. Playbill.com
Billy Tighe In London's Book of Mormon


"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Surprised they cast another pair of Americans (I have never seen Billy in anything, so I have no opinion of him as a performer). I wasn't huge on AJ Holmes when I first saw him on tour, but I really liked him on Broadway.

^ Wouldn't be surprised if it's related to the Equity exchange. We've got a couple of Brits over here for Last Ship, maybe they needed more Americans to keep it in balance.

Ah yes. Meant to say I thought so (then saw that it was, according to the last line of the original press release here http://talkinbroadway.com/allthatchat/d.php?id=2222920 ). I'd forgotten about the UK performers in The Last Ship.

I wonder if Jared has decided to end his time with Mormon and move on to something else. He's been with BOM since it opened in 2011. Also, with Holmes joining the London company, he'll be the first cast member to have appeared in all 4 companies.


A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
