    The weird thing about Cameron Dallas in Mean Girls is also that the original Actor for Aaron didn’t leave. I don’t remember what exactly happened, so I could be wrong, but I think the show was struggling and they needed someone to get more people there and so they had Kyle Selig (Original Actor for Aaron) go on a long vacation, to have Cameron Dallas come in. After his run ended, Kyle came back.

So rough that every time he spoke or sang I could see audience members around me exchanging “wtf” looks and laughing at how bad it was… I feel bad for the guy and for everyone involved with the production who had to deal with this decision made by producers. It really just was a bad choice all around.

    FYI, stunt casting happens in OBCs and first casts of revivals / is not just when a celebrity replaces someone else. This happens in *plenty* of OBCs. It's a fairly common way that investers of more "risky" musicals (originals, edgy revivals) to get a return on their investment. For example, Ben Platt and Kimiko Glenn were in OBCs, yet I think it's fair to assume that their name had bearing on their being cast. So their name becomes a type of "stunt", an attraction extraneous to the show itself.

    I think some of the rankings, while agree, they’re harder to rank if you haven’t watched them and actually make a decision. Especially if we don’t like the show, but the person themself killed it. And I only say that because I’ve seen the standing ovation aspect for Jinkx and JOJO.

    keith habersberger (from try guys) playing a mover in beetlejuice was probably better than the performance of cameron dallas. i didn't even know this cameron dude existed. at least i know keith had a little acting experience and had an actual dream of being on broadway growing up. the video they showed on the channel was very emotional video at the end. i do recommend anyone who has dreams of going on broadway to watch it, cause it's so amazing to see Keith do it, nail it, and then the realization of what had happen hit him. it's really wholesome.

    In 2018, I was in a local musical production that celebrated the 175th birthday of the Antwerp zoo. I was a background extra, one of hundreds of people that would star throughout the show...on a free basis. And the show was marketed with this as its main gimmick: About 300 or 500 extras on stage in one production alongside local well known actors from stage and screen. Needless to say, I had a blast, as the cast was basically full of actors whom I have adored for a long time and that hasn't changed after closely working with them. But more importantly, it gave me a lot more respect to the people that do musicals, because it's an intense rehearsal period, but oh so rewarding when you're finally on stage.

    I feel like stunt casting was such a big part of this show’s history on Broadway from Josh Groban who actually got a song written for him when he joined and the whole casting drama that shut the show down prematurely. I’d love to hear you guys’ thoughts on this show, it’s one of my favourites and had a really interesting time on Broadway because of stunt casting.

      @@aoife320 - Do you know who the original Off-Broadway actor was? It was the composer, which ends up coming across as vanity project. Just look at why Lin-Manuel Miranda gets a huge amount of criticism. It is because he always casts himself, despite being unable to sing or act. It tends to bother audiences.
      The only reason “Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812” was even granted access to a Broadway theater, let alone one of the larger ones, is due to Josh Groban. Him being cast as Broadway’s original Pierre, helped raise the capital needed to destroy the Imperial Theatre. As everyone secretly knew, the musical was never going to gain a mainstream audience.
