Casey Cott

I saw a clip of Derek Klena doing the part and as much as I love him he didn’t seem right for the character, hopefully Casey can bring more to it.
Thank you! I thought te same thing, when I saw the new cast performing live (During a game, I think?) earlier this year.

Derek has leading man qualities that he’s perfect for playing the Prince or classic romantic male counterpart. That’s not how Ewan played the part in the movie, that character is supposed to be an outsider and moody artist. Casey might be able to pull that off like in playing Hedwig or Tommy. The role needs a level of vulnerability, Derek is all confidence and bravado, it’s just who he is and how he moves through life.

Honestly, I always thought his brother seems to be more the type to be secretly gay. Casey doesn’t seem to need to project forced masculinity, he’s comfortable with himself, the brother not so much.
Really, Corey? I thought he had a wife. Would love to hear your thoughts.
