There is a weekly thread on Reddit’s Broadway board which includes estimated recoupment percentages and which shows have already recouped.

Just in Time was expected to announce it has recouped in November/December, so it should be soon. 
 

Krystal Joy Brown (Gussie) has expressed her disappointment with her role in the film.

Her post on Threads: 

Watching the film now…wow, I am disembodied voice a lot…. You really miss “the work” 🤦🏾‍♀️ woof. Great. I barely finish a sentence on camera which is devastating as an artist. Wow. I am still very proud of my work because what moments the director allowed me to keep in her edit, I did the best I could with. I mourn the loss of the deep complexity of #Gussie.

Groff was back in the show on Tuesday.

He is out 13-18 January as his only scheduled vacation. 

Matt Magnusson’s first show in the role and started mid-show as Groff couldn’t continue. Groff also out of the evening show.

Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez promoting the Merrily proshot on the Today Show and Late Night with Seth Meyers on Monday 24 November.

Screenwriter Isaac Oliver will write a revised bio for each person in the role. Understudy Matthew Magnusson hasn’t gone on yet.

A producer is now promoting this show as ‘Broadway bound’ on social media. Opening is tonight.

The first screening of the proshot/film is at the Hamptons Film Festival this Sunday. Director Maria Friedman is scheduled to attend. 

The show moves to a five performance week in February (Thursday to Sunday). 

bear88 said: "Just curious, in case I end up in NYC in mid-October after all: Is Jonathan Groff out on Wednesday evening, Oct. 15? The prices are unusually reasonable, which makes me suspicious. The matinee is almost sold out that day."

Groff has no scheduled days off and hasn’t missed a show. Every show so far has been sold out.

Sweaty Oracle says in a TikTok that It is Michael Buble who may be a replacement, and that Groff has extended his contract to March.

The trailer for the Merrily film was with the Hamilton screening in some locations. 

At the show on Thursday Groff did a curtain call speech about Connie Francis and Gracie Lawrence sang “Where the boys are”.

Two tracks have been released online: “Splish Splash” and “This Could Be the Start of Something Big” / “Just in Time”.

Sweaty Oracle posted a rumour that Sarah Paulson is headlining ‘The goat, or who is Sylvia?’ when it comes to Circle in the Square in February.
