Posted: 7/3/07 at 12:16pm

So replacing Tony Yazbek will be Kevin Worley.

Also, we have heard that Krysta Rodriguez will be replacing Alisan Porter. Post other replacements here when then are announced.

Oh, and if anyone happens to see Kevin Worley in the show tonight or soon (I will be going on the 22nd) post a review.

EDIT: Apparently all new 9 people will come in on the 24th, including Tam's and Davis' permanent replacements.

Though they haven't been announced:

-Melissa Lone will succeed Michelle Aravena as Maggie (Aravena will replace Mara Davi for six weeks)
-J. Elaine Marcos will succeed Yuka Takara as Connie
-Katherine Tokarz will suceed Chryssie Whitehead as Kristine
-Nick Adams will succeed Tyler Hanes as Larry

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.

I believe I heard at the stage door the other night that someone from Legally Blonde will be taking over for Brad Anderson as Don.

So sad. I loved Alisan when I saw the show in S.F.

Nick Adams is probably the most beautiful thing I've seen in life, on stage, or on the street.

And yes I couldn't even roll my tongue up to say something.
