The rumors are true folks, Aaron Tveit and Sutton Foster will be taking over the roles of Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett a month after Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford depart the roles. This has left the Broadway fandom torn between the Tveitor Tots and "the gays who love Sutton", and those who feel this is stunt casting. What do Sam, Bex, and I think? Find out more as we discuss the way the industry has been becoming more homogenized, why we believe these actors could still be good fits in spite of that, and also how the heck does this casting even work when Sutton Foster is playing Winifred in Once Upon a Mattress?
