Announcement that LND will be coming to Houston in 2018 on tour. As far as I can tell, this is the first announcement of a Love Never Dies tour. Did anyone see this coming, or am I just oblivious?

"The show has consistently released casting information a little under two months before each new Hedwig's debut. I will be shocked if news doesn't come out this week. "

One of the Hedwig techs texted me that he thinks the announcement will be sometime this week.

I attended the Seattle show at the Paramount theatre, one of her smaller tour stops (2,800 people approx).

I tried stage dooring before sound check even started, and she used an alternate entry to get inside the venue. Thankfully her production manager was sympathetic to my cause and took my 2 playbills up to her dressing room to be signed. These were the only autographs she signed that night, so I was very happy.

"gage-it's "ulterior" motives."

For some reason I'm getting the impression that he isn't too interested in the female variety....

This exchange I did not personally witness. However, the source is beyond reliable. 

That quote was his response to her asking "will you come back", so I couldn't imagine he was only referring to acting in general.

Does that answer the question?

JCM will be spending time filming and editing his movie for the forseeable future. Considering that he'll be expected to do a promotional tour prior to the film's release, I can't imagine him returning for at least a year, and probably longer.

But the patience will CERTAINLY be worth it!

I wish...anything would be better than our current situation.

Unfortunately for your theory, each time an actor is switched, they have several tech rehearsals to fine-tune the in ear monitors and set vocal levels on the main mixer. It would be more cost-effective to just skip a performance

I'm an aquaintace of Liz, and she (at least for now) will tell you that she was working with Laverne "just for the fun of singing" and without any alterior motives. 

I trust her. She's not just the Hedwig voice coach, she does half of broadway, and quite a few Hollywood stars as well. But only time will tell....

I was backstage on Andrew's second performance in the role, and I can confirm one of the producers talking about how NPH wanted to reprise his role when the show closed. 

Then again, things change.

Desperately hoping that we get the casting back on track again. This show deserves as long of a run as possible.

JCM also whispered "Trust me, I'll be back, I caught the bug" to a girl at the stage door on his final performance.
