Any rumors on the cast for Private Lives?

The argument of recasting has been made in the weekly grosses threads for months. One thing that hasn’t been said though, is I don’t blame Jen Simard at all for staying/extending. Acting is a very unpredictable profession and even though we can all be “sure” she’d be cast in all kinds of future roles, we, and she, don’t really know that for certain. I also understand the producers for not kicking her to the curb. 

I remember someone on here posted that 860 would be going in the Booth. If that is correct, not sure why they haven’t announced it yet since Proof is a limited run. 

Was MLB at the Tony Awards on Sunday?

That seems wrong).

Only six minutes over. Bring back PINK next year."

That woman is Christine Schwarzman whose husband is the CEO of Blackstone. They are somewhat contr

If Rachel Zegler is performing later, I wish they would have picked someone else to present. Just a personal preference, but I don’t like when award shows have people do double duty like that.

How far in advance does Second Stage normally announce casting?

Donald Trump said that his administration will be working with Congress to transfer the Kennedy Center “back to them” in light of a federal judge’s ruling that the president’s name must be taken off the performing arts institution and blocking plans to close it for two years for renovations.

I just heard this on the evening news as well. Hopefully Congress can take the Kennedy Center Honors back and actually bestow them on people of merit.

I just saw a rumor on Facebook that a revival of Come From Away could be coming to Broadway to coincide with the 25th anniversary of 9/11. I don’t really believe it, but a concert version or some other event for the anniversary could feasibly be held at a theater.

Wonder if they would try to cast some “names” in this or if that would drive the already high cost up further?

As far as the OP’s post, I do think it would be fun to hypothesize what stage shows KC should do next.

I’d personally love to see her in a comedic play, whether new or a revival. 

So this has been running in London since December of 2024? Also, Vanessa has played Miranda the whole time? If that’s correct, I did not realize that.

Those poor orchestras 😳😂 JK. Just couldn’t pass up the chance to haha at the typo.

(Mea culpa)It ran for 430 performances, March 2014 - March 2015, the star remaining with the show and then touring for part of the national, Jackie Burns, her standby, remaining. Though it did not recoup, it was not a mostly successful return to B'way for Menzel after Wicked. And of course, Frozen. Which is mybigger point. Arguably,Queen falls more into the If/T
