“I’m a huge fan of the show and unfortunately we just, you know, we got into a situation where we couldn’t quite find terms that made everyone happy,” he told CBS News. “Which is really disappointing, which is why normally they don’t announce an actor before the contract.”

Andrew previously starred in the musical in London and was announced to reprise his role in the Broadway transfer this fall at the newly restored Palace Theatre. The musical features new music by Elton John.
