Aragon: Jaelle LaGuerre
Boleyn: Meg Dixon Brasil
Seymour: Kara-Ami McCreanor
Cleves: Adrianna Glover
Howard: Alize Ke'Aloha Cruz

Alt A/S/H: Lois Ellise Reeves
Alt B/C/P: Haley Izurieta
Gotta admit, I had had this drafted basically since you asked it months ago but had just never gotten around to making a photo set with the actors’ headshots to actually post it.
anyone have any theories as to which queens the three Bliss 3.0 rehearsal swings cover? I’m guessing Adrianna has A/C/P and in normal cases the second swing would’ve done B/S/H but there are two more swings instead of the one so it’s hard to tell
Okay, so because of the whole “the 3rd UK tour cast extending their run by a few days because the 4th cast is in quarantine, but Vicki’s still leaving on her predetermined date” thing, we’re going to be having a cover Howard for the last few shows. The question is, who will it be?
Harriet is currently the only swing in the 3rd cast who knows the role and is available, so it’ll probably be her, although there is a possibility it could end up being someone else seeing how Howard is her 3rd cover. So, other than Harriet, who could possibly cover Howard for these last few shows? In my opinion, if it’s not Harriet then it will probably be one of the West End swings, but let’s look at all of our options:
Happy Hispanic Heritage Month Pt. 2: Latina Seymour Dreamcasts!
I noted in my Hispanic Heritage Month post that, as far as we know, there’s yet to be any Latina actors who have debuted as Seymour. @lightleckrereins and I have talked about that a few times on and off and thrown around some ideas for who we might want to see. We were holding out hope for Cassie to be the first, but of course that didn’t happen. However, that means I’ve had a mental list* of actors who could be the first debuting Latino/a/e/x Seymour for a while now, and in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month I thought I’d post some of them! This is nowhere near comprehensive even just in terms of who I’d like to see, but it's a handful who I'd particularly like to see. A few others are coming up in some other dreamcasts I’ve been working on too.
For some of these I have specific alt covers noted that I’d like to them as, for others I don’t which usually means just Seymour in general. Most of these actors could also play/cover other roles, but since the focus of this post is just on Seymour I didn’t want to get too heavily into all of my individual dreamcasts for each!
*who am I kidding, mental list = I have a spreadsheet
Alizé Ke’Aloha Cruz (Alizé was a rehearsal alt B/S/H, but I’d actually most want to see her as Seymour or alt S/H/P)

I know I did this at some point a few years ago but I can’t find it and it’s definitely outdated now, so...remake time. As always its based on limited info since not everyone has their height listed online.

Congratulations to the Bliss queens for ending their rehearsal period yesterday! Most of the queens are about to start the tech period and are heading to LA, where the ship is docked, today. Of course this also means the rehearsal alts’ time with the show has finished :/
Abbi Hodgson, Ashlee Waldbauer, Danielle Rose, Esme Rothero, Marilyn Caserta, Paisley Billings, Rachel Rawlinson, Roxanne Couch, and Chiara Assetta are also scheduled to make their debuts, but we don’t know on what dates. They, along with Phoenix Jackson Mendoza and Chelsea Dawson, are all possible contenders for the 100th queen debut.
Adrianna Glover, Alize Ke’Aloha Cruz, Carly Dyer, Emily Harrigan, Kara-Ami McCreanor, Kristina Walz, Laura Blair, Maddison Firth, Sadie Hurst, Shantel Cribbs, and Sophie-Rose Middleton were involved with Six, but are not scheduled to debut at any point in the future.
Shout out to Marilyn Caserta, Samantha Pauly, and Alize Ke’Aloha Cruz, our only Latina, Native American, and Pacific Islander queens so far respectively
So, the three recently announced casts have added even more queens with the same name to the roster. Here’s a list of every single one: points to anyone who feels up to charting all the commonalities.
