If there was, he was never announced. The original Dolly casting announcement came May 5:

On June 5 they announced much of the rest of the cast, with no mention of Carl but that "additional casting" would be announced:

The audio is easy enough to find. From "For the Gaze" alone she wasted no time making the song and the part her own, putting her own stamp on them, and sounded like she was having a blast doing so. I can only imagine how thrilling it must have been to witness.

Bernie Telsey, who famously casts a lot of Broadway shows (and is one of the few casting directors well-known enough for people outside of the industry to have heard of).

Ellis's first Madeline curtain call.

Yes, it was a limited engagement, though it did extend once.

Which worked out well since it recouped in the last week.

It's on the show's page on BroadwayDirect, under the casting section.

There's also a note on the ticketing page for each performance she's out (that Tuesday, Wednesday matinee, the Saturday matinees).

 

Hilty's leave is now scheduled to run through 7/9 so she should be back 7/10. She's not doing Tuesday evenings, Wednesday matinees, and Saturday matinees through July 19th.

Yeah, I saved a screenshot last night from the official account's Stories. It was too much text to read in 10 seconds. (Should have been a post, not a story for starters.) Some people on Reddit seem to be hinting this is not a trustworthy person, though I don't know anything about her. 

Final bows, Cromer speech, final encore

That was going to be my guess, but she was a standby, not an alternate (at least in Sunset).

Realistically the only thing that would lead to an extension/delay of the closing is a sudden surge in sales for the last weeks, indicating there's enough interest to keep it going. That bought an extra week for Swept Away in December. Last week there was talk it might happen for Real Women Have Curves, but the advance sales didn't materialize, so it's closing as announced.

Right now the sales for Boop's last week are still very low, with a lot of availability. The closing announcement hasn't had much of an effect getting people to get tickets. No reason to keep it running if they can't even sell that week.







 

Show extended again. Now selling into the first weekend in August.

That being said, Simard is out tonight. Ellis is on as Helen (opposite Roscioli as Madeline). (Learned from other means than anyone's channel. Confirmed on BroadwayDirect.)

The link to the channel used to be there. As noted above, it's not anymore, unless it's showing something else for you than it is for me:
Dee also had a channel with announcements, but it looks like folks will have to follow her Stories to not miss an annoucement for the 24 hours it's up.

"You can only see the channel links in the instagram app!They don't show up when you visit a profile via a browser."

I was viewing them in the app but took the screenshot in the browser since it's easier to get the links to post here on my laptop. But here are screenshots from the app. Neither of those links are there for me anymore and they were as recently as Monday. Maybe I'm blocked.

No, the sequence is not just crossing a street and walking for three minutes. It begins within the theater, where half of it takes place, so would have to be rechoreographed for each one (as it was between the three-level Savoy and the seven-level St. James). And yes, they would have to take into consideration the layout of each theater, what's around it, the routes available, and conflicts that may make it difficult to do in each location (on Broadway it's the other shows getting out or having their own intermissions) before booking. And the London and New York productions used the same ensemble member, Shayna McPherson, as the camera operator. They would have to train replacements presuming she doesn't want to go on tour since she's from the UK, who would have to relearn it in each stop.

"The six-minute sequence requires McPherson to walk down those seven flights of stairs — sometimes backward — as well as to navigate the uneven pavement and various other obstacles outside the theater. All the while, she must keep shots perfectly framed while holding a heavy camera rig; a millimeter on her one-inch viewing screen can make a difference of a foot on the theater’s nearly 25-foot-tall LCD screen."

6 Minutes. 62 People. 1 Epic ‘Sunset Boulevard’ Sequence.
