That's new news to me. I thought her contract was for a year.

I heard she was leaving, too.
When does Harvey leave? Wasn't it scheduled to close in January, which is when I assume Harvey is leaving?

Her last performance is this Sunday mat. Harvey is staying with the show until it closes on January 8th 2006. I heard one rumor that the show was thinking of asking Rosie to do her part.....

From Rosie O'Donnell's Blog:
"the rbk kids
2 day in unison
straight lines
projection and smiles
friday is r show
parents friends family
some homeless
will watch the wonder of wonder
miracle of miracles
a cast opening night
come on along and listen to
the lullabye of broadway…
there’s no place like home
there’s no place like home
there’s no place like home"
IS SHE COMING BACK TO BROADWAY TO BE 'GOLDE' IN FIDDLER??

Don't you think, Hook, that if Rosie was taking over for Andrea on Tuesday, they MIGHT have had some publicity going on long before now?

No no, I don't think Rosie will be taking over right away. Someone from the ensemble, I'm sure, would fill in for the role until Rosie begins.

She talks about "projections" -- that of course means she's playing Count Fosco in WOMAN IN WHITE.

Again, Hook, if this were actually happening, they'd be getting all the publicity out of it that they could. She's completely wrong for the part, so that would be the only reason to cast her.
She's not talking about this - didn't you read the entire entry? "FRIDAY is r show" That's tomorrow. And how many homelelss people do you think go see FIDDLER on any given night?

I'm going to guess three! Three homeless people! they have a lottery every night and three lucky winners get to be refugees from Anatevka!

Isn't she doing that straight play with Al Pacino?
The only musical I can possibly imagine her going into is Mamma Mia! and why ?

What about Matron Mama Morton in CHICAGO?

People really need to stop hiring Rosie for musical roles. Please. Stop the madness.

Aww, she was cute in Seussical!

Now don't get me wrong, I like the Rosie O enough but her blogs are lame and juvenile .

I agree, BB, she is trying way too hard to be deep and it doesn't work.
And Hook, she may come back and host the Tonys once she signs a binding legal contract stating she will absolutely not sing.

It would be logical to have someone cover Golde for awhile, and have Rosie O'Donnell do the closing 3 months of the run as a "only (amount of time) left to see Rosie and Harvey in FIDDLER" type promotion.
And if she'll say, "My darling, I'm yours!" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best pressed tweed, all I really need is the girl...

Didn't she have a big fall out with the Tony people for being too picky and demanding?

Can anyone who has seen Fiddler within the past few weeks or so please type up the current cast list for me?
Thank you! It'd be greatly appreciated.

Harvey Fierstein and Rosie O'Donnell in FIDDLER....
It suddenly makes the "Love! Valour! Compassion!" joke about Tommy Tune and Elaine Stritch in THE KING & I all too real.

Please no no no no! Rosie as Golde?? I know this production is rather, erm, imaginative. But come on!
