Posted: 7/15/13 at 5:10pmDo you think he will renew/have his contract renewed when it's up in Sept?

Posted: 7/15/13 at 6:16pmHe's not. Auditions for his replacement took place in June.

Posted: 7/15/13 at 7:00pmIt's also not whether he might WANT to or not. As a Brit, Equity has to allow him to stay. (I'm not saying they wouldn't, but it is part of the equation.)

Posted: 7/15/13 at 7:40pmWhat about the rest of the OBC? And any word on his replacement?

Posted: 7/15/13 at 7:46pmMost of the adults are likely to have a 1 year contract (although I heard someone else was leaving with Bertie) the children's contracts usually have a "growing out" clause -- so it's impossible to know when they'll each exit.

Posted: 7/15/13 at 10:26pmIt also depends on the work visa he was issued. But he was never contracted to a full year. He and Lauren Ward are leaving in September, I think.

Posted: 7/16/13 at 4:06pmHe is amazing in the role. My dream replacement for him would be Christopher Sieber.

I can't see Norm Lewis in this.
Do you think Brian D'Arcy James would be willing to replace?

Posted: 7/24/13 at 5:13amalso he did not win the Tony and I think that must of hurt. Also I think he wants to do something new.

Lots of people don't win Tony Awards, that has nothing to do with this. People don't leave jobs over not winning a Tony.
