GO before she moves on to a new show at the end of next week
Any rumors or whispers as to what the new show is? I thought maybe she'd leave to take a break to be with her family, or focus more on tv/film, which she's been dabbling in lately. I wouldn't be surprised if she was in Chavkin's Lempicka NEXT season - but as for what she's going to do right after Hadestown, I truly have no predictions!"

Hint -- it's not what anyone is expecting.

My guess would be Sabina or Mrs. Antrobus in THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH.

…POTUS?

Just announced that she’s in the cast for the Daniel Craig/Ruth Negga Macbeth

I won't lie, I wouldn't have expected her to depart Hadestown for a limited-run play (nothing run with limited runs, I just didn't expect it)! Nevertheless, I'm VERY excited and I bought first preview tickets to Macbeth. Not just for her obviously, the entire cast is amazing.

I wonder when they'll announce the new Persephone? Also, will they keep Lana Gordon as an alt (or maybe promote her to full-time and hire a new alt), or will the new Persephone not have an alternate? I'd love for Lana to stick around, even if she's "only" an alt/understudy/standby and someone new is hired full-time.

The fact that they were waiting to announce had me hoping it would be someone bigger... ah well. Congratulations to Lana, though! She is a fabulous Persephone, and I hope to catch her again.

Another Broadway credit, limited engagement or not, can still be favorable to your career in the long run.

Well, you all have convinced me to see Amber in Macbeth so thank you hahah

What an absolute star.
