I saw Ashley back in the summer of 2014.
He was really good; he played Price like the stereotypical cocky teenager you would see on a mediocre American sitcom. Which was a really fun take that was probably funnier in London than it would've been here.
If anything, he was solid, but very... actory. Like you always knew he was PERFORMING. Great voice, though, and definitely entertaining.

So now that Brian has left, do we know anymore about who is playing Cunningham?

So now that Brian has left, do we know anymore about who is playing Cunningham? I should imagine, for this week at least, that it'll be David O'Reilly covering. I think a press release must be imminent given this is a major cast change

I'd love to see David O'Reilly, I've heard great things about him. What's the low down on Cody. What are his BOM credentials? I've been trying to find a clip of him to suss him out. :-)

I've been trying to find a clip of him to suss him out. :-) Cody has been Elder Cunningham on Broadway and then as part of the US National Tour for the past 3 years. Personally, I've seen him several times and he is easily one of my favorite Cunninghams. Funny, tender, and just an absolute joy to watch on stage! The West End is fortunate to have him.

I saw Cody a couple of years ago and I really loved him. Probably my favorite Cunningham after AJ Holmes.

I've been trying to find a clip of him to suss him out. :-) Cody started out as the standby on the 1st national tour. He took over when Jon Bass, the original standby on that tour, came to Broadway full-time after the tour had only been out for maybe three months. Cody was then Cunningham full-time on Broadway for about six months once Jon Bass left, and then Cody went to the 2nd national tour full-time. I saw him on Broadway and on tour several times, and he was the first Cunningham I saw who really came across to me as a real 19-year-old (even though Ben Platt was actually 19 when he started). He is a huge ball of energy and incredibly funny. http://instagram.com/p/BLhfe1HBSlG

Is the cast change definitely this Saturday then? I know the new cast are definitely in rehearsals, but they seem to be leaving it very late, even by their usual standards.

I think the current understanding is that he-whose-name-I-may-not-mention leaves this Saturday and the rest in two weeks.

Does that mean youll be returning to the show soon. I definitely will - I really miss the show. Only saw it twice last year, both times on Broadway. As they're so secretive, I didn't want to risk it and booked a ticket for School of Rock for the 3rd February, but the Friday three weeks later is still free. Once they've officially announced the new cast, I'll be booking a ticket (if I can still manage to get one at a reasonable price though).

It is him, and you're right about last Saturday. And it shouldn't be Saturday in two but rather one week.

So will Monday 30th be the first night of a new cast? What a coincidence, that's when I'm going!

That's the current working assumption If it is the new cast, please report back.

Nothing we don't know, but see the caption (Colin Anderson was a swing on tour with Cody). Sorry, had to link that within the text since it won't load on the board. It's an instagram link. Think it might be a private account as it comes up with page isn't available every time I click it
