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.

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.

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.
I love America. Just because I think gay dudes should be allowed to adopt kids and we should all have hybrid cars doesn't mean I don't love America.
