I just asked her on Instagram if she was in the cast and it sounds like she might be in it.

Brand new info:
So the word from workshops is that Rasputin and Bartok the bat are gone and that the show has a historic and human focus now hold true?
LA: He’s gone. And the bat is gone. They’re gonna be in our cabaret act, though. We’re gonna bring ‘em back. They may have a little homage here or there, maybe. But basically, there’s a new character who represents the Communist Regime. He’s a contemporary, more of a contemporary figure. He’s in post-revolutionary Russia, he’s a Czechist as they called them. And the score’s really interesting. For example, there’s an opening number in the movie called “Rumor in St. Petersburg” and we kept that, but it’s completely re-written, opened up, all the main characters are introduced. It’s a theatrical number now, as opposed to a fun song for an animated movie. And “Journey to the Past,” which is one of the famous songs, and the song that got [Oscar] nominated, has been moved to an entirely different place in the score, where I think it’s going to be even more effective, actually, and in between there’s all kinds of new stuff.

Nervous about the new Rumor in St. Petersburg. It was fine the way it is. I hope they don't butcher the scene, like Bells of Notre Dame.

A Gentleman's Guide for Love & Murder came out of Hartford Stage and I thought the production value of that show was very good in its later inceptions, which was almost exactly the same as the Hartford production.

Announcing a transfer before this production even plays before a paying audience seems a little hasty. I don't understand what there even is to gain from doing so. It's already selling quite well in Hartford, so it's not like it needs to be billed as "Broadway bound" to sell tickets.

It did extend at Hartford, so it must be selling well.
