Wick3 said: "My understanding is Cole Escola was coming back after Betty Gilpin's 8 week limited engagement? Or has that changed? Will Conrad and James return as well or is the last performance for the entire original cast in mid-January?"

From James Scully’s social media it does sound like his last day is mid-January.

Not sure if there is a telecharge discount code already but on TodayTix, I saw a 40% off flash sale for certain Betty Gilpin performances Tues-Thurs.

She'd be just about ideal.

Next two months tend to be slow on Broadway so I hope the show can at least gross its weekly nugget."

Betty's first two weeks are nearly soldout. Tickets aren't as expensive, either, but she should do fine until Cole returns. Curious to hear if their rush is any easier during Betty's run.

Pardon me if I’m wrong but isn’t next week broadway week ?"

Broadway week is now three weeks long. Started this week and runs through Feb. 9.

She’s 65.

I said in the “All In” thread that after seeing Aidy Bryant in that, I’d truly kill to see her as Mary.

Like the others, I don't think any kind of accuracy really matters with this show (when the part was originally created by someone who isn't even a woman and Lincoln has been played by half-Asian and Black men). But it may be worth noting that Sally Field was also 65 when she played Mary in Lincoln (filmed in 2011; released in 2012). She was too old too, so there's precedent."

Jesus Christ, all I did was note that Tracy Ullman is 65. I didn’t even offer an opinion on the matter.

Why do people do this? You were implying she's too old. Everyone knew what you meant.
