Nicholas Belton! Our first Comet cast member moving on. They are all so talented that I hope they all have exciting new jobs soon.

My wallet is ready for this ...
And my mom already wants to see this. Another momsical for us.

Betsy as Carrie! What an absolute dream! I'm so looking forward to her Mr. Snow and seeing how she makes this character her own.

When do people think Betsy will leave Waitress? Thanks.
Posted: 9/4/17 at 7:45pm
That ensemble is pretty spectacular!
Posted: 9/4/17 at 7:46pm

Exciting cast!

I was so happy to see his name. Moving on but not moving out... right back at the Imperial!

Not anytime soon..

A SIX week preview period for a revival? That's...odd.
Posted: 9/4/17 at 8:19pm
^nice catch! Must be an extremely reimagined production or Scott is giving jack time to get it right.
Posted: 9/4/17 at 8:21pm
Okay, so I'm not the only one who thinks six weeks is cray cray. There's gotta be something new or inventive happening with this one...

We shall see if this production will be a return to form for Jack O'Brien or if his long-running losing streak from the past decade will continue.

It's likely sooner than you think. Jessie left Waitress FOR this and start prepping for it as well as that film she was announced that nobody seemed to know about lolz. My best educated guess is that Betsy will leave somewhere in mid to late fall.

^I remember some people saying she would be leaving in October, so I wonder if that has any weight.
I also wonder if scott is doing a workshop for this like he did with Hello, Dolly. Any idea?

Every time you post, you're mentioning O'Brien's "losing streak". Calm down.
Posted: 9/4/17 at 8:41pm
Unless they squeeze a show into the holiday season, could it be a lavish set? The Imperial is already torn to pieces so why not create something amazing? The extended preview period could be more for the tech aspects so they avoid Groundhog Day problems. Just a thought.

I may have mentioned it several times before, but not every time. Plus, it's still true that Jack O'Brien has not delivered a critical darling since The Coast of Utopia.

Thanks KathyNYC2. Seeing Waitress mid Nov., so just wondering if I'll see her or a replacement.

I'd rather see Jesse repeat as Carrie and Betsy as Julie.
But it is a very strong cast.
Posted: 9/4/17 at 10:06pm
Hopefully O'Brien puts more effort into this than his phoned in, community theater level production, of The Sound of Music. It wasn't bad per say, just dreadfully uninteresting and paint by numbers.
Posted: 9/4/17 at 10:10pm
Really looking forward to this and I pray Jack O'Brien does great things with a great cast, but somebody has to ask. Do we pay full price or do we wait for "inevitable" discounts? My wallet is trying to hide.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm not convinced that Jessie has the right voice for Julie and Betsy certainly does. But I'm excited regardless.
