I know that Katharine McPhee and Jack McBrayer are leaving the West End cast in June. Has anyone heard rumblings of them taking their performances to Broadway this summer? I know from a Broadway.com interview that Jack turned a stint down for earlier this year only because of the winter weathers. (Way too bad because seeing Jack with Sara and Gavin would have made the night even better!) And I would love to see Katharine now. She looks and sounds great!

I got to see Sara and Gavin with Tyrone Davis, Jr. as the Ogie understudy - if they're able to stunt cast other roles, I would love to see him get promoted! He was absolutely excellent. I could definitely see Jack coming over for a stint.

Might be a little far fetched but David Cook wrote on his story he was "rehersing" while having a cold . Maybe he's the next Ogie or Dr. P? He seems to be booked the first and last weekends of May,last weekend of July ,and possibly 2nd weekend of June for concerts /charity events though ....

He was absolutely horrible the two times I've seen him cover the role. First time he was mumbling thru all Never Ever Getting Rid, and then fell off the chair. Second time was equally as bad.

I’m based in London right now so have seen the London production a few times (which I love) but would love for Katharine to come back to Broadway to do a short stint with Jeremy, just for all the Smash feels! <3 But I can’t see it happening as she’ll have done 8/9 months in Waitress by the time she leaves London and is probably ready to do something different. I could see Jack playing Ogie on Broadway. Be prepared for some badddd singing though, he really can’t hold a tune at all! He’s pretty funny though haha.
Btw, interestingly, I was listening to a BBC Radio interview with Katharine last week and she said that before the West End theatre had been secured and it was definitely transferring to London, Barry Weissler asked her if she wanted to originate Jenna in the upcoming Australian production! She said she wasn’t sure if she wanted to go all the way to Australia with the show, so I can’t see her doing it in the future but it will be interesting to see who they do cast for it.

I feel like Will Roland is definitely sticking with BMC, but maybe one of the DEH swings? I'm not sure he'd want to leave for Waitress, but I could see Michael Lee Brown in the role, possibly.
It's now come out that Colin Donnell is leaving Chicago Med after this season. Hopefully that means he'll be back on Broadway...maybe he needs something to do this summer...

It appears her last performance was actually this evening, per Molly Hager’s Instagram story.
