Posted: 9/26/11 at 11:20pmMaybe I underestimate their importance (considering the reviews etc..) but I feel like the biggest problem with the extension besides theatre availability etc.. is Bernadette (e.g. I can easily see Raines being replaced by anyone).

Bernadette will only miss approx. 15 performances if they extend till June (assuming she can still do Saturday Matts and perform a concert at night).
Considering there will be less pressure to make a profit in such a short time, maybe they can just use her understudy...there are still another 150 performances or so that Bernadette can perform.
And if some aren't selling well she could cancel them now, which some members on this forum suspect has happened in the past (https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.php?thread=925790&boardname=&boardid=1)

Um...most of her concerts are in the midwest and Florida. Not sure what you're talking about here. Perform a matinee then do a concert in Cincinnati in the evening?
The person who posted on ATC is usually reliable. I wouldn't be surprised if this were true.

I'm not that familiar with US geography {and didn't even pay attention to it TBH} and just assumed air travel made it plausible. (Although I suppose thinking about how LAX-JFK is like 5 hours, clearly it will be a problem). I guess missing Saturdays for a month is pretty inconvenient.

Posted: 9/26/11 at 11:43pmAs I had said, they should get an established name to cover her absences.

It wouldn't be possible. There's also the matter of sound checks, rehearsal, and the like. Even if it would, do you think she'd want to perform a matinee, drive an hour to the airport, fly in, perform a concert, fly back, then perform another matinee the next day?
If this extension happens and Bernadette stays but keeps her dates, she'd probably have to miss 1-3 days for each concert. Especially when the concert dates are close together.

Posted: 9/26/11 at 11:46pm^ Sally's first "ta-da" would last fifteen minutes.

Vicki Clarke is my first choice to replace Bernsie (but I wouldn't mind Mrs Danny Burstein, she played older in DEATH TAKES..).
I can actually hear Luker's IN BUDDY'S EYES.

Posted: 9/26/11 at 11:49pmShe wouldn't need to play older. She's older than Sally's age in the script.

"^ Sally's first "ta-da" would last fifteen minutes."
In her case, it would be a "ssshhhhta-da, momma!"

The only role Liza MIGHT pull off is Carlotta and it would be a struggle. And they would probably have to remove her from "Who's That Woman", I don't think she does much intense tapping now.
STRITCH FOR HATTIE. FINALLY on Broadway! Though I have no qualms whatsoever about Houdyshell (or anyone else in this cast, for that matter).
I just hope this doesn't turn into CHICAGO...but I don't think Kaiser and the KC would allow that.
