Betsy Wolfe announced on Twitter that her final show in Waitress will be on January 9. She was my favorite Jenna and I can't wait to see what she does next. Who do you think will be replacing her? I've heard rumors that Sara Bareilles will be coming back for another limited run, but it hasn't been clarified.
wow January?? i thought she’d be in it til at least Carousel opens
I can't say whom.. but they are bringing in another star in January till Mid-end of February.
Maybe Jennifer Nettles? She's a friend of Sara's, has been doing theatre here and there, and has sung She Used to be Mine in her concerts. She's a bit older than how they've been casting it, but that would probably bring something to it.
A closing notice.
Heard from a reliable source that Oak is the next Jenna.

Who is Oak?
I'd really like Jessica Vosk, Natalie Weiss, or Lindsay Mendez eventually be Jenna in the future!

The beloved Okieriete Onaodowan, of course! /s
Karen Cartwright, I’m told.

On the dot. Either that or Sara may come back and try to save her show, or some mainstream celebrity, but anyone else who isn't super famous or Sara and I think the show will close.
Well prices go up the week Jason Mraz's run is up, and I mean UP. we're talking $199 last row up....I think Sara will be coming back and Jason will be joining her.
I still want (NEED) Jessica Vosk to play jenna!!

Seems PRETTY clear that there'll be a Sara Bareilles-Jason Mraz pairing after Betsy Wolfe leaves. I can't imagine the filming of a promo like that would mean anything else. If that's not it, I'm shocked.
Prehaps Hadestown.

Would love to see Sara and Jason together but can't afford it. Especially after booking 2 Jason dates in December and January!

How fun would it be to see Eden Espinosa or Cynthia Erivo on the role?
Really hoping Jessica Vosk gets a chance to play Jenna soon!

The more expensive prices go until February 25 and after it goes back to $79 for rear mezz. And also ay some point in February the $119 goes down to $109. While I’m ecstatic that Sara might come back I wish it was for longer than a month!

Oh God, Sara’s playing her little mystery box announcement again. First clue: California poppy.
Some people seem to think it’s Anna Kendrick...
I'd love to see Abby Mueller as Jenna. She has a perfect voice and her acting chops are amazing. I think Sara is coming back to the role though.

Could be Anna Kendrick. A quick google search told me her Trolls character is named Poppy. Not sure where the California part comes in... Wikipedia says she’s from Maine.
I think this first clue was just about which character is getting the big change. Jenna holds a poppy flower at some point during the show.
And Anna’s last Instagram post says “need more pie.”
Maybe I’m trying too hard, haha!
