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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It does if the theatre is only showing one configuration. The LA one is showing both on different dates.

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.

Ah. I just assumed there was either a one missing from that post, or that it was like the ticketing system that deemed one version primary and one a reverse cast. I wasn't confused, or at least thought chris wasn't.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
For what it's worth, my local theater is just showing it once (on Halloween, which seems appropriate) and it described which version it was going to show (Cumberbatch as the Creature, JLM as Frankenstein, which works for me since the version I saw last year was the other one.)
I bought the tickets for the Othello! AM EXCITE!

That's the version my theatre refers to as default, the other is reverse.
I would have bought a ticket by now for Corolianus if I could work out how. Goddamned 1997 needs its websites back.
