And they still haven't hired anyone to replace Daveed. This is one of the worst managed shows I've ever seen...

I doubt they(the producers) care. The show's bringing in $2 million a week. It really doesn't matter at this point who's playing what role.


A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

yeah for all they care could go out there and play Lafayette (although like many gays I'd rather play Angelica)

I'll miss seeing Renee by just a few days.  Bummer.  But at least she has a great replacement!

 

These abrupt departure announcements are, well, abrupt

so at this point, are the current understudies just rotating in the role(Chappelle, Stewart, Harcourt)?

What role? Lafayette/Jefferson? Sydney doesn't cover that track. Andrew Chappelle, Seth Stewart, and as of yesterday Jevon McFerrin are covering it.

I didn't say they did. Updated On: 8/25/16 at 10:36 AM

Completely agreed with you, neon, on the production management comment. Unfortunately, it really is a matter of producers not caring. They're making bank, so they can drop these announcements whenever they feel like it.

I mean, it's not just about the announcements. It's about the fact that they don't seem to know how long any of the OBC was planning to extend for. They specifically put out a release saying Renee was leaving in October and now they're like JK, next week. That's bad people management.

I know it doesn't matter to them but this whole thing seems to be barely held together ever since Lin left

Playbill Vault has Harcourt listed as a Lafayette/Jefferson u/s. They also don't list McFerrin.

Sydney has never gone on for Lafayette/Jefferson, as far as I know. But ok.

Look, I'm the first to call out bad management on a show, but you can't assume that's the case with Renee leaving earlier. They could have been told that she was leaving in October back when they sent out the press release. Filming schedules/actors' plans and health change which can affect their end date. To assume management somehow knew that things would change that much is a pretty big leap.

 

And while the Lafayette/Jefferson casting is odd, there is the distinct possibility that they had someone in mind who then fell through. Who knows.

I'm not calling out bad management just because Renee is leaving early. I'm calling it out because of an abundance of things that have been happening in this calendar year alone. This is just the latest.

I thought the press release said Renee would be leaving in the fall. Does anyone have a link that says she's leaving in October?

He tweeted about it yesterday! Also, the website lists him as standby for Lafayette/Jefferson and Hamilton. :)

they hired a standby for a role that currently has no full time actor?

Probably only got the job because of who his father is. Connections.  I think Hamilton management is horrible BTW. Agree totally with the posters here who have stated the same.
