"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

That link says the Frankenstein is a rebroadcast of the production from 2011. Does anyone know which of them was playing which role for that one?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My theatre is showing both. The ticketing tells me when each is on. They're a month apart dates.

I found it by following your link and changing locations.

It's not my link, but that was my suggestion.

Huh! I guess the Houston showing is only the rebroadcast? Well, nertz.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Chris, one performance of each cast configuration was filmed, originally broadcast, and is now being re-broadcast, so your question doesn't really make sense.

It does if the theatre is only showing one configuration. The LA one is showing both on different dates.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yes, but neither is THE rebroadcast. It just may be the local showing.

Chrismg is asking which 2011's cast's show will be shown. I'm saying it depends on your theatre and your date. I thought "local showing" was the whole point, and rebroadcast of the action doesn't have to be THE to be, you know, a rebroadcast of the performance.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

ita, his question was:

That link says the Frankenstein is a rebroadcast of the production from 2011. Does anyone know which of them was playing which role for that one?

which is basically unanswerable, as "that one" is not correct. There were two. Both of the casting configurations were filmed and broadcast from that production. So, saying

showing is only the rebroadcast

is not a meaningful description of what cast to expect. If there is only one showing, then it will be only one configuration, but, unless they also say which cast (which, iirc, was unhelpfully labelled something like A and B), there is no way to tell which it will be.

Which is why I answered:

My theatre is showing both. The ticketing tells me when each is on. They're a month apart dates.

Did I phrase that badly?

Well, chrismg answered like it made sense, so that's my primary objective taken care of. I'm just surprised it's confusing. How can I fix it?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I was actually referring to his question in the post directly before mine.
