I hope the seating is similar to Broadway. I bought club seats that kind of make it look like they'll be behind her (T3/4) but that CAN'T be, right? Not for the most expensive seats! 

 

In one of the articles that came out after the announcement, it said the Audra will be in Shuffle Along until June of next year. Also, Audra was just in London doing a concert and she posted a picture of her outside the Wyndham with a marquee of another show playing there. Thus, the summer was possibly the only time she could do it.

The timing is a bit baffling. I think I read somewhere that Audra's part in Shuffle Along is only 20 minutes in duration. (How could someone know that already? I'm assuming for now this is true.) Of course, someone like Audra could stop the show in five minutes, let alone 20. But maybe her part isn't that large.

can someone tell me what the date of her last performance is before she leaves Shuffle Along for the summer?

Side note to those who wondered about timing, but Audra tweeted this on Jan.20:

 

Big thumbs up to everyone who has worked so hard for over a year to make @ladydaywestend happen over the summer so my kid could be w/me
