From the source himself, Dante will NOT be back as CaptJack. Does this mean CaptJack is back as Jack?

Any others?

You may have to cut and paste it.
Cause, "Cake or death?" That's a pretty easy question.
Anyone could answer that.
"Cake or death?"
"Eh, cake please."

It appears that Hey Nunnie, Nunnie aren't there this year. I thought I saw them on the schedule last year. They only made one appearance last year at Scarby, and none this year.  Was kind of hoping to see them... ah, well...

Who are the "do not miss" acts this year at CoRF?

Sad face!   :(  I love Nunnie Nunnie!
Nothing clever to say here.  Not enough caffine yet.

CapnJack

I love those ladies too.  Wish they were coming back.  They may be yet, I haven't heard anything, but you never know.

Looks like there will be a lot of new blood this season, and some familiar faces may not be around.  But we'll wait and see.  I don't really have any particular knowledge of the "lineup," as it were.  No more than anyone else, in any case.

If I'm not mistaken, the slideshow on the main website has been updated and may be helpful with these rumors. Maybe.

Widget

I can tell you that widget will not be on cast at CORF, tho he will be there as a playtron along with the Colorado Faeries opening weekend and several more times throughout the season.

But good news, Widget will be guest cast at OKRF labor day weekend!

What I know:

1.  Hey Nunnie Nunnie will not be at Colorado at all this season, by their choice.  The Baroness and I spoke with them in Arizona in February, and it was their decision to "widen their horizons" by appearing at Festivals they have not done heretofore.  The Baroness and I are truly saddened by their decision since they are our favorite stage act, bar none.

2.  I have the same impression as CapnJack:  There will be a lot of new faces on cast this year, and some very familiar ones may be absent.  None of us will know for certain before opening day!

3.  I'm sorry you weren't picked up, Widget.  But, having been on both sides of the fence now, I can tell you unequivocally that playtronage has its advantages.

4.  Must-see acts?  Depends upon what you like, of course.  Having said that, my favorites are:  Puke and Snot, Cast In Bronze, and the Washing Well Wenches.  
Just call me "Your Grace"

Zoë

Arsene is another must-see, assuming he'll be back this year.

Oh yay I get to contribute! I'm a total lurker around these parts but I will of course add my two cents in when they are actually of value ;)

In this case my two cents are comprised of these tidbits:
1) Arsene will indeed be back this year (I'm one of his assistants so you can pretty much trust me on that one)
2) Yes, it's true, his show is great so come see it (and subsequently me)!
3) According to the entertainment page on the website, Johnny Fox the great sword swallower and famed ren performer will be at CoRF this year! He and Arsene are old buddies and I've heard through the magician's assistant grapevine that the two may team up for a show or two this year. I am so excited to see what this may bring!

Can't wait for opening, 1 month and 1 day people!

Merlin the Elder

We had the extreme pleasure of seeing Arsene for the first time this year at Scarby. Were you with him there, Kathleen?  We will see him at CoRF.

Then apparently a jaguar (leopard?) was hired this year. I'm looking forward to meeting him/her!  ;D

Ooh, a big cats show! That should be FUN!!!

Also, don't forget to see Celtic Legacy, they put on a great show!

Another rumour that's floating around has something to do with Zoë and a credit card?!?  ;)
