According to WhatsOnStage.com, D.W. Moffett will be taking on the role
of C.K. Dexter Haven while Kevin Spacey is filming "Superman Returns" on
location in Australia. While this is the only news I've seen regarding
Spacey's replacement, WhatsOnStage.com is a reliable source of news so
maybe they have some inside information.
