Question for my matinee people - what time were you on the street after a 2pm matinee? I’m seeing the show today at 2 and my train from Moynihan leave at 5:10 (5:17 on Saturdays and that 7 min really makes a difference). If it’s too close, I’ll sell on the theatr app and try for something slightly shorter.

Chilina Kennedy will join the company as a t/r for Myrtle, starting July 15, until Chase returns to the cast.

She’s so wonderful in everything I’ve seen her in, especially recently in A Sign of the Times.  Last on Broadway in another Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen musical, Paradise Square.

Yes, it's a really awful situation at any time of life, but especially when it should be a major career moment.

Eva was swapped out for Traci Elaine Lee in the middle of the first act at today’s matinee. I seem to recall reading about that happening once before. Hope she’s ok.

Sara Chase returned to the show last night, following a full fallopian tube cancer recovery. 

Sending her all the love!

Jeremy Jordan will play his final performance in the show on January 19.

Only person I can think of replacing him is Aaron Tveit.

So….. we already had tickets for January 19th at 8pm.  Do we “assume” he’ll use the 8pm show as his final show?

Yes, that's the end of their week, it would be highly unusual for anything else to occur.

This frees him up for Floyd Collins.

I’ve heard he’s going to be playing Gatsby when it opens in London in April (at the  London Coliseum)

He won’t move his family to London.

They have the opportunity to do the funniest thing in the world (cast Isaac Powell)

I wonder if this will impact sales - I went to it knowing many of the show's weaknesses but love the music and wanted to hear the recording LIVE.  Though Tveit would get me back, fast!

Are there any discount codes for this?

It's been on TDF pretty regularly.

Ryan McCartan is the next Gatsby, starting January 21.

I'm not that familiar with McCartan. Is he a draw? (I don't mean as big of a draw as Jordan, who clearly has been part of Gatsby's success. Is McCartan someone with a fan base?)

I think he will be a draw for many people.
