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.

Is she joining a show that is already open or is it a new show opening this season? Or not theatre at all?

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


"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I would've rather seen her as Sabina, but she'll kill it as Banquo! Already picturing the ghost scene.

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.

She will begin on the 22nd.

starting on the 22nd?  is Lana still considered the alternate for this sunday's performances, or is someone else covering?

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

For those interested, all five principals were on today. 

First time seeing it since the NYTW iteration.  Glad to have seen it with the OBC (Amber was such a delight).
