I came across this article and was a little confused. How can members of the cast perform, if the show hasn't been cast yet. Not every person from the public is transfering, and no one is sure of Claude. & if they're performing "Hair", like it says, Claude is vital to the number, as is Berger. But, hopefully Will will be back.
Any thoughts?

The only member of the cast from this past summer who will not be transferring to Broadway with the show is Caren Lyn Manuel.
The rest of the company (including Jonathan Groff) will make the move with the show to The Al Hirschfeld in the spring.
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.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Posted: 11/10/08 at 10:55pmMaybe it was a better deal, or she had always wanted to play Mimi, and that was her final chance? Those both seem logical...

shes played Mimi plenty when she u/s her on bway, and will probably play her again when she u/s her on the tour...

Posted: 11/11/08 at 12:00amoh, she is the u/s on tour? that's interesting then. to take a ensemble paid part rather than taking one of the biggest female roles in a well loved rock musical.

Posted: 11/11/08 at 1:48amit's possible they didn't offer it to her and that's why she took the rent tour?

Posted: 11/11/08 at 8:44amI heard she was told she was called in and told she would not be offered the transfer....so it's not like she has a choice between Rent & Hair
