I believe you'll find that A Chorus Line will not be doing Monday night performances. It will shift to a 5 performance weekend by the end of June though. Fri/Sat/Sat/Sun/Sun dark Mon & Tues.

Since we're discussing various Cassies, my parents just got back from NYC last week and saw ACL. The Cassie they saw had long, dark hair. I know it couldn't have been Charlotte or Nadine, but I don't know what Jessica looks like in the role. Any idea who they could have seen. It was Saturday night, March 22.

That sounds like it could have been Jessica.

Yup, that's Jessica. I love how she uses her long hair as an advantage in "Music..."

The new Cassie standby, Kimberly Dawn Neumann, is another blonde. No clue if she will be wigged or not.

"Wait, Michael Gruber left/is leaving? "

He's playing Zach in the tour.

Then Broadway.com & telecharge.com need to fix their schedules for June & July. Both have Monday nights listed & no Sundays.

Thanks, I said that before I saw the cast list.

Interesting schedule changes. I suppose it says something about the audience but I don't know what.

I'm told the cast is a bit divided about the prospect. Two days off is nice, but five performances is rough for a heavy dancing show. I wonder how many names will be on the week-end "cover" board.

That is a bit rough.

I believe most, if not all, of the original cast members will be leaving in July sometime. I don't know the exact date but Paul McGill, Natalie Cortez & Heather Parcells have said they'll be leaving this summer. Micheal Berresse will remain in the show as the standby for Zach. The last time I saw ACL(Feb. 20) Charlotte seemed tired & bored with the role, so I'd expect her to leave as well. The other originals(Deidre Goodwin, James T. Lane, Jeffrey Schecter & Jessica Lee Goldyn) are unknown but I could only see Goldyn staying.

If Michael is going to be the standby for Zach, does that mean he will be playing Zach during Mario Lopez's scheduled break from the show in May, or will it be split up by the understudies?

[ACL2006]

Berresse will be playing Zach during the 3 weeks that Lopez will be out.
