& JULIET Replacement Casting

Feels like the right time to start this thread one year into its New York run…

 

Melanie La Barrie will play her final performance as Angelique on December 30. 

Stark Sands left the company in early August and was replaced by Austin Scott.

Nah, bring her on as Anne when the time is right. She deserves a bigger part.

The problem is that her talk show is a year-round affair with only intermittent hiatuses. This would mean the only feasible time off for her would be the 6 weeks during the end of July through after Labor Day. (Kinda like how Whoopi did with Xanadu in 2008).

Doing a talk show during the day and a Broadway show at night is already a bit of an insurmountable challenge (See: Rosie Perez juggling THE VIEW and “Fish In The Dark”). Couple that with her being a single mom and it’s a strikeout.

Note “when the time is right.” & Juliet doesn’t appear to be struggling at the moment and looks set for a potentially lengthy run, and who knows if she’ll commit to her talk show past 2025?

I think Clarkson is too big of a name to be a replacement. Kelly needs to originate a role or write her own musical.

quizking101 said: "That being said, here are some dream ideas I have for replacement casting.

Juliet: Celia Rose Gooding, Jasmine Forsberg, Morgan Siobhan Green

Shakespeare:Mauricio Martinez, Justin Guarini,

Anne: Jeanna de Waal, Marla Mindelle

Lance: Mauricio Martinez, Tam Mutu, David Harris

Angelique: Crystal Lucas-Perry, L Morgan Lee, Jennifer Fouché, Keala Settle, Melody Butiu

Francois: Jordan Dobson, Antonio Cipriano

"

Nothing at all to do with their talents, but if you combined ALL of these people in the show at the same time, their names would sell approximately 18 tickets.

Call_me_jorge said: "What’s Keala Settle up to right now, she needs to come back to broadway and I know she played the part in London. If not her, they’d probably ask any of the former Becky’s from waitress. Charity Angel Dawson and Natasha Yvette Williams will both be available."

I guess I was right, lol 

BETTY22 said: "This show was the surprise hit of last season for me. Along with Neil Diamond, it's the last one standing.

Congrats"

*Along with Neil Diamond and Kimberly Akimbo

Varun Gangawane said: "Loved her as Angelique. Excited to see what Austin Scott brings to the table though."

Austin Scott is a fantastic replacement. The show has not gone wrong in terms of replacements so far. 

TaffyDavenport said: "David Bedella joins the cast in his Olivier-winning role as Lance, replacing Paulo Szot from March 5 through July 15, afterwhichSzot will return."

Another A+ replacement in fair Verona.

I wish Lorna Courtney could come over from the UK as our next Juliet - she’s my favorite to play the role out of all the Juliet’s I’ve seen. 

No. Lorna was MTL’s alternate. 

do you mean zara??
