Aww why isn't Betsy Wolfe joining? I thought she was good when I saw it in Boston.
I'm kind of upset they are forcing Barrett and Jessica-Snow out, they haven't really been there that long.

Hehe, I'm with Lizzie on this one!

But the real question is, how many people DIDN'T know?

Why would they all leave at the same time? That's almost a death wish for this show. I'm glad I got to see them. They were all wonderful.

I'm going to miss everyone. I have seen all of the people who are coming in to the show (either on tour or in Boston), and I enjoyed their performances and they are all great people. However, this broadway cast, especially the OBC, means so much to me and they will be greatly missed.

I just went to the Broadway night, and now I have to go again! Now the big question, do I go the 15th or the 17th?

I don't know much about contracts, but do they run at 6 month intervals? I went to the 2nd Broadway preview, and it was mid-April sometime.

liotte, do you know how long Mo is staying, and if the Panch from Boston will be replacing him there after?
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

Oh I didn't know that about Betsy. That's great.

Is there any precedent for complete turnover of such a large cast of a Broadway show? I know that there have been times when the whole cast of a play turns over at once (I think that happened with Proof on 2 separate occasions, and I'm sure there are other examples), but I've never heard of that for a musical.

Did they decide to leave or were they asked to leave?

Aaron J. Albano as Chip Tolentino, Stanley Bahorek as Leaf Coneybear, Jenni Barber as Olive Ostrovsky, Sara Inbar as Logainne Schwartzandgrubiennaire and Greta Lee as Marcy Park

AAHHHHHHHH!!!!

Edit: In a good way. I love these people.

Aww...I am very sad as well. I really want to see them one more time before they all leave. Best of luck to all of them in their next projects, and especially to the new cast!

Mo will so rocka in that part.
Perfect casting.

Betsy Wolfe would have been a great choice, since the ensemble of 110 does very little.

Aaron J. Albano will be great as Chip yet again! He was hilarious in A Chorus Line as the headband kid when I saw him go on as a swing. Priceless.

It is weird they are leaving. That being said I think Mo will be wonderful. I loved Jen on the tour also.

It makes sense to bring in a whole new cast for this show, especially one that's already worked together. I enjoyed them when I saw them in Boston, but no cast will ever match the chemistry of the original Broadway cast. However, I thought Stanley made a great Leaf. He was hilarious. They're all good and they have good chemistry with each other. They should do well on Broadway.

And I did get to see Aaron in the ensemble of A Chorus Line. Haha. Glad to see him join the Bee once again.

They were great in SF. (I wonder what's up with Jim Cashman, speaking of...)

So the SF/Boston cast is reuniting on broadway. I saw them during their SF run and I thought they were fantastic. And I think Mo is hilarious, I loved him on "The Daily Show". Now I wish I could get could get to NY to see them again.

This will be Jennifer's Broadway debut, won't it? She's terrific! I was hoping she would join the Broadway show after the tour, but this sounds a little weird (with the huge sudden change).
