She did recently take leave from Waitress for a night or two, and said on her Instagram that she has a big announcement that would be worth here being out for a few shows...maybe this has to do with it too.
And yes: weird she says this fall is the conflict, as we assume "Carousel" isn't rehearsing yet.

So disappointed. How does she have conflicts for the fall when rehearsals begin next year? Will she be Elsa after all?

I mean. She exited Frozen and now Carousel. Both extremely highly anticipated shows. How do you do that to your career?"
I don't think going into Waitress was exactly a poor move. And I'm assuming there is a reason for dropping out of Carousel.

I can't stop thinking about what could be happening behind the scenes. She has to be heading to something pretty big, right? Elsa? Eliza Doolittle? I feel like Scott Rudin of all people wouldn't let such a prominent principal out of his big-league show that quickly.

Obviously being her choice, I'm wondering if Carousel is workshopping this Fall, and she had another project, and they wouldn't let her contractually miss the workshop? Why else would she mention the Fall?
Or, she's suddenly Elsa again. And like, yeah, then you'd quit Carousel. Or maybe a movie?

Maybe she's not going to be able to be in a show 9 months from now...

Jordan, that is my thought as well...

The only movie that I can think of that begins production in nine months(at least the one I hope is) is WICKED. So please Jordan, tell me she's been cast as Elphaba. Still doesn't make sense why they mentioned this fall, but whatever.

Unless you're saying something else with the nine months thing...

Her clear Carousel excitement in recent days just makes it seem like she would've done some different planning if she were trying to get pregnant.

ugh I TOTALLY forgot that pregancy only happens when it's planned!

Jorge, just stop. She's not going to be in the Wicked movie. Would never happen.
I was thinking pregnancy as well.

If she's pregnant why wouldn't she make a statement about it instead of calling it a "conflict"? She's not gonna get sent to a nunnery LOL

This is the one and only time I wish someone on this board would say "I know why but I can't say say what it is". Just to calm everything down a bit

This is disappointing. I hope she's departing for a better role, I really do like her a lot.

I love how this thread is barely two pages in, and we already have like 12 different show possibilities and a pregnancy rumor.
For Betsy's sake, I hope she announces whatever her plans are soon.
