Ms Russell also handles the box office for "The Fantastcks" which plays downstairs from her show. She wears onstage whatever she has on that day.

I am on TLK website right now. A majority of the cast who I saw in 2011 are still there, including Gareth Saxe, Tshidi Manye, Ben Jeffrey, and James Brown-Orleans.
The main cast of Aladdin are still there, 2 years later.

I know Jefferson Mays stayed with A Gentlemen's Guide for most of the run, but I think he missed a couple of performances. The person who played Mrs. Thistletwat in Avenue Q played her role for the entire Broadway run, which was around 2,000 performances or 6 years

Lewis Cleale has been with BOM since it opened. Many other cast members have stayed with that show quite a while. Not as long as those with Phantom or Cats, but they seem to have a cast that stays in the show or BOM system, if you will.

And they all just renewed their contracts for another year. Must pay well.

Donna Marie Asbury (Velma Kelly u/s) has been with the Broadway cast since about 1999 (prior to that she was involved with the national tour). Leslie Stifleman started with Chicago in 1996 as a pianist. Now, she is the musical director/conductor of the show. She has many duties: " In addition to her work onstage Leslie is part of an executive team of producers, directors, choreographers, stage managers and casting directors that cast and train hundreds of actors, dancers, singers and musicians for the Broadway company as well as the Chicago National Tours and International Companies.
In her other duties as leader of the orchestra, she has lead the day-to-day production and implementation of musician’s contracts, music preparation, scheduling, and budgeting as well as developed strategic plans with Union representatives to improve theater contracts and relationships with producers."(source: www.lesliestifleman.com)
