Posted: 10/19/21 at 7:54amI mean both. Turning a profit in that house would be quite a challenge.

Yeah, it has a lot to do wing space, dressing rooms, crew, etc. Xanadu and Avenue Q are the only musicals I can think of that made the Golden work and both are pretty tiny shows - cast wise / orchestra wise.

Xanadu played in the Helen Hayes Theatre, not the John Golden Theatre.

The original Falsettos was there as well, but again, tiny show. (The "teeny tiny band" was on a platform)

Posted: 10/21/21 at 7:19pmSolea Pfeiffer, Gerry Cannonico and Casey Likes all had clips or mentions up on this IG over the last 2 days - Likes showed a rehearsal hall schedule listing Almost Famous from 8 am - 10 pm, and Pfeiffer had the cover of her script book with THANK GOD posted over it. Tom Kitt also had a pic with Cameron Crowe posted yesterday, saying he was grateful to be back working on Almost Famous again.

Posted: 10/21/21 at 7:44pmChad Burris also has a pic posted from what looks to be the rehearsal studio. So far, all folks in the San Diego cast. I believe Colin Donnell has signed for a new series on Peacock, so they may need to bring in a new lead.

Posted: 10/22/21 at 1:08pmStorm Lever posted an IG pic last night about the reading. She mentions “most of the original cast” - but nothing specific about who’s not there.

Wonder if this is a money-raising reading, a "let's hear the new material for the show" reading, or some combo of the two.
When does Tom Kitt sleep?

Brief follow-up…
Badges of the participants indicate that the readings were October 20-23 (today).
An IG story from earlier today indicate that Colin Donnell was not in NYC; therefore it’s safe to assume that - at least for this week’s read through’s - someone else was playing Russell.

He is shooting a tv series in Queensland's Far North that was ordered straight to series pretty quickly by Peacock. I seriously don't think he will be available for this nor is he right for the part.

Maybe if he slept he would be a better composer (Next to Normal nonewithstanding).
