According to the Hollywood Reporter, Martin will leave PIPPIN at the conclusion of her contract next month to star in a new sitcom for Canadian television.
One can only assume Tovah Feldshuh will be back to permanently replace her.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Posted: 8/28/13 at 10:50amI'll repeat what I've written on other threads: I think Cathy Rigby would be a terrific replacement.

I just read that Patina Miller is taking a vacation in October but will extend her contract to March.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 8/28/13 at 12:36pmSo Terrence is only out for a week? I figured he'd be in NC a bit longer, like two or three weeks.

Posted: 8/28/13 at 12:37pmnot sure on the length of time, but he is leaving this week. Thanks for catching that. Wish I could travel to see N2N, I miss that show.

Posted: 8/28/13 at 1:56pmReturning to topic: Call Bette Midler to replace Martin. She'd kick ass!
#18Andrea Martin Leaving PIPPIN Permanently
Posted: 8/28/13 at 2:14pmI'd like to see Charles Busch do it again.

Posted: 8/28/13 at 2:16pmThere are certain physical risks I can't imagine Bette taking. Nor can I imagine her replacing anybody

Posted: 8/28/13 at 2:18pmCathy Rigby is an inspired choice, as fun as Patti would be.

Posted: 8/28/13 at 2:41pmCathy Rigby would be PERFECT. They could even add more gymnastics tricks.

~ as much as I love marlo thomas, she would be all wrong for berthe...and as much as I love marlo mhomas I can say with utmost certainty that her vocal range is limited.
