Cast Stability Timeline.

The principal roster stayed intact for over one year. Key milestones below outline when changes finally arrived.

Unchanged Stretch.

• October 2023 – December 2024: Original company premiered at The Public Theater, then transferred to Broadway without a single replacement.

First Departures.

• January 5 2025: Phillip Johnson Richardson stepped in as Knuck, covering Chris Lee during medical leave.
• March 9 2025: Brandon Victor Dixon played his final Davis; departure announced a month earlier.

Recent Re-casts.

• June 3 2025: Christopher Jackson assumed Davis, marking the show’s first principal swap.
