There's class act, and then there's Audra. The way she speaks with such joy, admiration, and respect about her peers, her colleagues, and her superiors is so beautiful. The deep love she has for the artform is wonderful to see. Only mentioning her first Tony win and not the other 5, too? Not an ounce of ego.

Yes, Marisha Wallace is a member of AEA. She is also a dual US/UK citizen so she doesn't have to get a visa to work here.

Saw the show in Boston. Kristin was exceptional. There's a very real possibility that Sherie ends up being better.

Incredibly exciting news. Cheadle and Exebiri will be outstanding. 

Wish it wasn’t Kail directing, but with these two and the name I’ve heard rumored for Claire, should be phenomenally well-performed. 

It is strange they didn't just announce it as a leave of absence for Criss, that's what it always was. ABF was always a true temporary replacement, and at least some of the headache and backlash could have been eased if they'd just announced from the start that Darren was coming back.

Oh."

Real quiet part out loud moment.

Felt very honored to have been at the closing performance this afternoon. I know this production and its performances have been divisive, but it is one that I think has grown leaps and bounds since first preview and my appreciation for the work of all artists involved deepened with each visit.

This afternoon was an enthusiastic, but incredibly respectful audience. Loud cheering when appropriate, a restrained number of standing ovations, and an incredibly joyous curtain call.

BorisTomashevsky said: "Hannah would not accept ensemble at this point, nor would her agent advise her to.

She could be Svetlana and understudyFlorence, though."

This is, in fact, what she's doing. Hannah is Svetlana and first cover Florence. They decided not to hire a standby and all covers will from from the ensemble (and Hannah).

Sunset also waited to transfer the following season and it didn't hurt them. ALW isn't going to let Cats and Evita compete, Jamie's dance card is filling up, and the logistics involved with the balcony scene will also take more time to figure out. Fall gives them all time to figure things out.

I've heard from multiple people they are pushing the transfer to fall 2026.

Crusty Bagel said: "No way this is coming to broadway this season. That’s why Evita has the August Wilson already booked"

They don't have the August Wilson booked.

Solea is not doing Chess.

And I'm fairly certain the role is smaller than i has been in recent iterations. Read into that what you will.

Chris Renfro is Filipino.

Kumail Nanjiani is Pakistani.

Both are on the continent of Asia.

Also have heard that Bonnie is continuing with the production along with Noah Galvin. Beanie is not.

Anna Zavelson is doing Masquerade.

Fairly certain the names hinted at are Kevin McHale, Leana Rae Concepcion, Philippe Arroyo, and someone from Kimberly Akimbo.
