Posted: 1/11/20 at 7:00pmI do wonder why there is such a mystery and hype around making changes for Broadway etc.... while I still maintain that NYC standards for musicals are higher than the West End I hope they aren’t going overboard over-engineering changes and that they still can maintain the spirit of the original ‘revisal’.

Posted: 1/11/20 at 7:04pmMy guess is they will have one or two of the main cast understudy Bobbie and then have a group of swings/standbys to cover the rest of the roles.

Posted: 1/11/20 at 7:42pmI wonder if they are making the show “cheaper?” It seemed kind of tech heavy in London. And this seems to be smaller scale with actors pushing letters around?

Not sure, but we’re the actors pushing around letters, actually confirmed, I thought that was a guess on how the letters might be utilized. But, the photo Robbie2 posted, the Broadway cast is standing in front of the 3 door set, that looks like the one they used during “You Could Drive A Person Crazy” in London. So it seems some of the set is staying the same.

Posted: 1/11/20 at 8:04pmThey’ve posted a couple set models on social media, it looks like the same set to me. I think the letters are just an addition.

Just noticed the letters were on rollers.

Posted: 1/11/20 at 11:13pmThe set model that’s been posted looks exactly like the London production. The letters must be new additions.

The London production did have an ensemble. They appeared here and there: the Another Hunded People montage, the nightclub scene with Joanne, the Tick Tock sequence... The five of them took a bow at the end of the show.
In London they had an understudy for Andy, PJ and Theo; an understudy for Joanne and Sarah; an understudy for Paul, Peter and Jamie; an undestudy for David, Harry and Larry; and an understudy for Jenny and Susan. Jennifer Saayeng, who played Jenny, also covered Bobby. She went on quite a few times. I can see Nikki Renee Daniels and Rashidra Scott covering the role on Broadway.

Thank you! I knew I wasn’t crazy thinking that there might’ve been an ensemble in London. I didn’t see it in London, so I wasn’t totally sure.

What makes you think actors are pushing letters around?

The Instagram Page posted a clip of 'You could Drive a Person Crazy' to their Story!

The short clip sounds great! I can't wait to hear Katrina though.

Of course they are. How else do you expect them to be moved in, out, and around the rehearsal studio?

their latest pictures on instagram include a number of understudies... i only recognize the voice-from-the-gods Anisha Nagarajan...

Posted: 1/13/20 at 3:26pmCan we assume Nikki Renee Daniels is coveting Bobbie? In London the actress that played Nikki's role also covered (and performed) Bobbie.

If I had to guess, it'd be for a group sales event.

Here’s the pic with the yet to be announced understudies, swings, ensemble, whatever they’re calling it.
Looks like some great diverse additions to the cast.

The female standbys are Kathryn Allison, Britney Coleman and Anisha Nagarajan.

Thank you for the names!
I don’t see a Joanne aged understudy yet, maybe it hasn’t been cast yet? Maybe Simard is covering the role, which would be kind of odd?

They’re already starting promote this as Friends meets Sex and the City, and I can’t blame them. I’ve said before that they need to tap into the Sex and the City audience.

Is there a "Sex in the City audience"? The show ended 16 years ago!
