When 42nd Street announced they would be doing the Cole Porter's musical, Bruce called the company and he said he was interested in doing the Bert Lahr role. Of course the company yes he could do the part.

and usually 42nd Moon is local people. Richard's explanation above makes a lot of sense.

But they do bring in outside people occasionally. Andrea did Coco and Lea Delario did Once Upon a Mattress.
