Lex Ishimoto - Billy, US Tour

[porschesrule]

But have we confirmed tonight was his last performance?

No official announcement has been made. I would caution against assuming anything.

Considering no announcements have been made, I would think he isn't leaving. Maybe a little later, but for now I would think he's still a Billy

I certainly hope so. He is so multi-talented. I enjoyed - immensely - every one of his performances with a hip-hop twist.

Life on the road can be tough and a little break is always a good thing when there are others to take over.

Yes, but I'm still curious as to why he was taken off of the BE tour cast list....

[ERinVA]

As is everyone else. But it may take a while to confirm whether Lex is still with the tour, or whether he has stepped out.

Regan Mason Haley, a ballet girl, confirmed that yesterday was not Lex's last show.

Well that settles that then.

Glad to see Lex went on tonight ... baffled as to why his name was taken off the official website (and then put back on).

It appears from this article that Lex may be leaving the show sometime after Cincinnati.

That's an excellent article. I am so glad that Nora Brennan will still be casting the Billys even though the Broadway show is closed. She has done a superlative job, and her continuation assures that future tour Billys will be just as fantastic as all the US Billys we have already seen.
