[@nicolem4110]

Colbert also goes in and closes the gap, and just looks at him in his eyes as to isolate the guest and the host, like its just the two of them having a conversation with the audience to calm him down and get him settled in the new environment.

[@RichardBrennan]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the original cast's contracts are up in November. After that they can choose to stay, join the national tour, or go on to other projects. But I'm sure the show will still be running and a great cast will be in place. Tickets are available at the box office every day for standing room and partial view seats - though that's just about 20 tickets so they go immediately. But if you get there early (6am) you can likely get a ticket when the box office opens at 10am.
