I thought there was more than one?

When do Paige Davis and Jessica Bogart replace Hahn and Gershon?

Sometime in October. I want to say October 6?

I assume Davis will play Gina Gershon's role?

If Bradley has already been claimed, can I call Mary McCormack? She's beautiful!

According to my playbill from last Friday, Roxana Hope was the only understudy listed for Gretchen, Gabriella, and Gloria. It's possible that there are others and they have the same arrangement that Peter Benson does.

adamgreer, I remember reading here that Gershon and Hahn's last day would be October 5th, with Davis and Bogart starting on the 7th.

Kathryn Hahn is my favorite of the three women.

And Bradley ... ROAR.

Davis is going to play Gabriela and Bogart is going to play Gloria. Any word on how long Christine Baranski and Mark Rylance will stay with the play?

That is correct, frogs_fan85. I posted the information about Gina and Kathryn two weeks ago. Those details came straight from Kathryn herself.

I am definitely headed back to see the show again once that cast change is in place.

According to what I have heard, Mark Rylance and Christine Baranski will be with the show until at least January.

I saw the play in previews twice and once again last week, and I gotta say, I preferred it during previews. Bradley Whitford plays the role totally goofy now (or did). Katheryn Hahn is doing the role very over-the-top now. I liked what she did before.

Mark Rylance is still brilliant though, as are Mary McCormack and Christine Baranski.

The play has gotten too long again. It was long at 2 and a half hours, but it worked better. I walked out of the theatre at 10:50pm last Thursday. That scene with Bertha and Robert went on forever.

i saw the show last week and i thought Kathryn Hahn was fantastic- she had me in stitches. Her first few scenes were over the top and out of context- but by the time she returned, she owned the stage. I friggin loved it.

I thought Mary McCormack was actually way MORE over the top- but hey, it worked. She was phenomenal.

Bradley Whitford was good, im a HUGE fan, but he was very hoarse and VERY exhausted- he gave it his all but he clearly wasnt handling the 8showsaweek situation very well. And of course Rylance was perfect.

I thought the weaker links were actually Baranski and Gerhson- Baranski did a fine job, but got lost in all the madness. Gershon's role just wasnt written as funny as the others, and while she is one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen on stage, I found myself wishing she would exit stage right so Kathryn or Mary could take control.

in any event- its a FANTASTIC production. i would totally consider going back to see it with a new cast...
