Someone mentioned in the thread about Elena leaving to play Christine in PHANTOM!!!!! The Las Vegas Spectacular!!!!!!!!! that she would be out of the tour by the time it got to Hershey.
Now that the tour is in Hershey, I'm just wondering, if anyone's seen the show there... has she left or is she still there?
Leslie Henstock doesn't mention anything on her website about being on this week and she usually seems to be pretty good with that kind of stuff.
Just wondering.

My parents are seeing this tomorrow night, so maybe I can get them to look at their programs when they get home and tell me who it was.
I'm so jealous of them for seeing it...I'm all the way across the state so I can't.

Where is the news of Shaddow departing for Phantom? I haven't even read speculation of that here, but I imagine she'd be wonderful in the role (is she replacing Sierra Boggess?)
She was absolutely enchanting as Clara.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Posted: 2/28/07 at 10:34pmThere was a thread about the Elena/Christine rumor recently -- people are wondering why she's leaving the tour.

Posted: 2/28/07 at 10:38pmWhen I first glanced at this thread, I thought it said "Pizza in Hershey".

Posted: 2/28/07 at 11:19pmThere is a someone coming in, but she is no stranger to playing Clara. Frankly, I'm really surprised at this.

Posted: 2/28/07 at 11:27pmIt doesn't surprise me, it looks like she hasn't been working much since July.

and she was not up to par on the PBS taping.
I hope she grows in the part.
I just love this show.

F*ck. I'm devastated. I adore Katie, and I missed her by a month and a half. Excuse me while I cry myself to sleep.

Posted: 2/28/07 at 11:34pmAfter seeing Elena in Pittsburgh last weekend.... Everyone who has not seen the tour yet should be sad. She was remarkable!!

So has anyone seen the tour in Hershey because a definitive answer would be greatly appreciated.
Also, does anyone know if they have any kind of rush in Hershey?
MistressOfTheHouse - Definitely get back to me after your parents see it.

Posted: 2/28/07 at 11:37pmGood, I hope it isn't true (because then I didn't miss her).

Let's just say I have it on good authority that Elena is still with the tour.

Keep Katie away from Pizza and Hershey's
I know that's mean,
but any casting director would say the same.
#23re: Piazza in Hershey - Who's playing Clara?
Posted: 2/28/07 at 11:55pmShe's not the strongest singer, but don't even think of attacking her weight. It's refreshing to see someone who isn't a stick. I don't even think she looks the slightest bit chubby.
