AKarp2013 said: "Has there been any indication on when/ifSweeney Toddwill announce a closing? I think most are in agreement that the production won't go beyond Josh Groban's contract and tickets are still only on sale through January 14. Could they be waiting until early November to announce the production's future to get the holiday & closing demand going?"
There have been reports on here that they are trying to secure star replacements. But unless it's people equal to or greater than Josh Groban (and reaching a somewhat different audience), it seems like a fool's errand to replace. Unless Seller wants to burn up any profits made by JG's run.

Maybe Jordan Fisher can replace Groban.

Tveit and Sutton are the names being floated right now. I heard they already signed.

That would be surprising, but so was Groban and Ashford.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Sutton is in Once Upon a Mattress at Encores in January. Even for a pro like her, that’s a heavy lift back to back. For that timing to make sense, Ashford would need to extend.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

HIGHLY doubtful (given that Foster has Once Upon a Mattress in January/February).

Just confirmed that Sweeney Todd will keep running after Groban and Ashford leave on January 14.
Oh look, a bibu!

I'd love to be proven wrong if the rumor is true, but I cannot picture Tveit as Sweeney. Not at all.

Tveit??? Snore. Boring. Completely blah.
Christian Borle & Sutton Foster would be dynamic. To ex’s on stage together…fireworks!

Let's just surround Sutton Foster with exes, family, and past costars.
Bobby Cannavale as Sweeney
Christian Borle as Pirelli
Jen Cody & Hunter Foster as Joanna & Antony
Marc Kudisch as the Judge
Roger Bart as the Beadle
Beth Leavel as Beatrice Stockwell as the Beggar Woman
