The Heather Headley rumors were false: Montego Glover will play Rose during Audra's upcoming vacation week, June 30 - July 6.

Will be curious to see how the numbers hold up for that week.

*slowly returns to my wallet the hundreds of dollars I was prepared to spend on Heather Headley's Rose*

The rumors of this production have consistently outshined its reality.
Still dreaming of Kiki Palmer…

They might as well have let the standby go on for that week.

That was in the days of the show set in the New Orleans swamp rumors. The salad days.

Yeah...no offense intended to Ms. Glover, but is she a big enough name that would draw that much more box office than Tryphena Wade would that week? I don't really see it, but maybe don't know her enough beyond Memphis and Into the Woods.

They'll be awful. Glover isn't a draw and the July 4th week/weekend is typically a ghost town for Broadway/NYC.

For real. Or like... give us a plot twist: send Montego Glover to Hell's Kitchen for a week and bring Kecia Lewis in for Audra. Lol

Agreed. The lone issue with that is there's no other cover for Rose. Wade is the only cover. I don't think it would have passed AEA to have let Wade gone on an entire week unless the show got another rose understudy.

Darn.. I've never felt moved by Montego Glover's performances. Was really hoping for Heather. Oh well. $ saved. If anyone involved is reading this - - - any way to still facilitate a Heather stint?? Wishful, fantastical thinking, I know, and imagine she might've already been approached but... just want to put it out into the universe.

The Tony Awards will give it a boost.

Why are people acting like this production has been playing to half-empty houses? It's been consistently clearing well over $1mil weekly. This production will easily last through the summer.

Keicia would be a fabulous Rose. Audra is superficial and boring . Bring on Mother Earth!

The only shot at an actual win is Audra, and if she does not, this production will close by Labor Day.

Montego Glover such a Big yawn! Simply, bad casting. She doesn’t have the acting chops for Rose.

I mean this comment is both vile and stupid. Of all of the complaints about Audra's performance, none of it has ever been about her acting.

Mine has! All acting from the neck up. Not grounded on any truth.
