So that article says that Laura bell bundy and lauren zakrin are "alternating" in the role...Does that mean they are splitting it half and half, or is it still true that LBB is "picking" the schedule? Is it ever going to be announced who is doing what shows or is it just going to depend on the day and they are just going to play it by ear?

As per Lauren's facebook: Lauren Ashley Zakrin will be playing elle the sat mat and both shows sun in east lansing and the whole first week in st louis so far!!
wtf that is not "alternating" in the role. that would mean laura bell bundy will perform a whopping like 1/8 of the shows throughout this 6 week time period where she was announced to be a replacement...
i dont know but something doesn't seem right here. I don't think they would advertise that she is coming back to the tour and yet only perform about 10 shows throughout her 6 week run.
She's just helping out Lauren though, she's very busy so chose the days she could go on. I'm assuming she's got a lot of other things going on, (i.e. Judging Ms. America, the workshops, etc.)
Besides, even though it's great LBB is back to help, I'm pretty sure whoever comes is excited to see either her or Lauren.

I just made a youtube vid of Lauren singing So Much Better. search for it and u'll be able to find it, since i don't think we're allowed to link, correct?
Well, I know my daughters are going to be thrilled when we pull up to the Fox Theatre in St. Louis on January 30. But, now I know they're going to be thrilled even more to see LBB as Elle. I hadn't told them I bought the tickets before, so the double surprise will earn me major daddy points.
Well I'm excitedish...I really wanted to see Lauren as Elle. Of course, I end up going on Januayr 31st..evening. So, I guess I'm seeing LBB. Which shouldn't be so bad, right? I enjoy Laura Bell. Plus, I'm used to hearing her voice, cause of the cast recording. Quick question, though, how is Laura Bell since she's been back? I know she's only done a few shows, but yeah, anyone seen her since she came back?
