Barrett Foa will take over the role of Leaf Coneybear in the Broadway musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee from original star Jesse Tyler Ferguson on Tuesday, July 25. Ferguson, who will depart on July 23, will co-star in the upcoming CBS series The Class.

Craig, Josh Gad, Lisa Howard, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Jose Llana, Sarah Saltzberg, and Greg Stuhr.
