A friend sent me the ad from the Carnegie Hall Playbill which said "Chez Joey" is coming to Broadway in 2027... I know they did another workshop of it, any word on who is still attached cast wise?

No insider info on this casting, but why do I have a feeling Liz Gillies will be playing the Vera role? (Which will not help sales much.)

Isn't she a bit young for the role?

WTF? She’s 33! 🤣
The role is played by older mature women. Stockard Channing was 64 when she played her in 2008. Liz is old enough to play Linda English.

Samantha Massell who played the role at Arena is 36, and Elizabeth Stanley would have been early 40s for the City Center mounting.
This is not normal PAL JOEY.

To be fair, Samantha Massell was Vera in the Signature Theatre production of Chez Joey and she’s only 36. I do think Gillies is too young tho.
