Is it confirmed that Charlotte isn't doing matinee's for her renewal period?, because I haven't heard that anywhere but here.

If so, any word on which of her understudies is taking those two performances a week? I assume it'll be Nadine Isenegger.

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.

my guess is it may be Dylis Croman who they have had as Cassie standby in the playbill for a while now.

There are rumors going around that Dylis Croman wasn't asked back, so it's doubtful she'll be around after the cast change (though whoever is cast as her replacement may indeed become the matinee Cassie.)

It would be such a shame if that were true. I can't imagine why they wouldn't ask Dylis back. I saw her go on for Charlotte once and absolutely loved her. I thought she really nailed it, with the only thing being she looked a little young to be Cassie. Otherwise, she was spot on.

With the exception of Yazbeck have any of the others officially left the show yet?

No. He left early because of Gypsy. The others (with the exception of Tam) leave on July 22nd.

It will be interesting to see how the energy of the show changes. It sounds like they have some wonderful replacements. I wonder how Kevin Worley's debut went...

I keep debating whether to see the show again before the original cast leaves (it would be my sixth time), or wait until the end of July, when the new cast comes in. As much as I want to see them all one last time, I'm eager to see the new energy - and enough of my original faves are staying.

I believe it's at the Signature in VA/DC. I was told the name but it's escaping me right now. It's not til late fall from what I understand...

I believe Paul McGill's sis said recently in another thread he's staying on.

I believe that Jessica Lea Patty was given the Cassie replacement position and is going to be guaranteed one show a week as Cassie. Nadine will perform the other matinee, I assume.

Dylis Croman was not renewed and her last day with the show was over a week ago. I loved her and I think TPTB made a mistake by not keeping her around. Maybe one day she will be back with the show.

Hello. I've never heard of Nick Adams before, but I checked out his website-- www.nickadams.biz . He certainly is easy on the eyes and has a wonderful voice. In his site, he has three audio clips so you can hear for yourself. from RC in Austin, Texas

Yes, Nick is a hot guy and incredibly talented... I am more impressed and love the fact that he always has a link to donate to BC/EFA

When does Jason Tam leave? Or has he already left?

I really liked Kevin Worley.

I caught Jessica Lea Patty as Diana yesterday, and thought she was fantastic. I think she could make a good Cassie, although she seems a bit young.

I saw Michelle a Connie back when Yuka Takara was injured (i forget what happened to her). She was good and it was interesting to see how they edited the part when the actress isn't Asian.

I've seen Michele as Diana twice, and she is totally wrong for that part. Maybe a better Connie/Maggie.

So it looks as though all 9 replacements will be coming in on the 24th. So that means Arevana won't be standing in as Maggie for a few weeks and Jason Tam is leaving the same time as everyone else.
