Does anyone know how long Charlotte will be on? I saw it posted on Instagram maybe last week, but can’t find it anymore. I would love to see the duo of Charlotte and Robyn!

Celia Nightengale returned recently from maternity leave.  Rachel Chase is set to return as well sometime in May.  Speaking of Billy Flynn, Max Von Essen's turn as Billy Flynn finishes in July.  I would love to see Nick Adams have a chance as the slick lawyer.  Another veteran Billy Flynn who is amazing is Jason Danieley.  


"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Both Denny & Barrett Martin have been out A LOT recently. Colt Adam Wiess covered for Barrett for 4 weeks. Brian Spitulnik was back this week covering as Aaron.

As much as I wanted to see Clayton, it's this pairing that'll have me coming back.

Unless she extends, Robyn is only Velma through June 16. No word who's Velma starting June 17.

FYI, Robyn said on her IG that she hurt herself last night and is out until further notice. The two u/s will cover her for the time being.

Wow, she must have left a really good impression on the show's producers!  For those who saw her, how was she?

They didn’t ask her back, she’s returning by her own choice.  She could return once a year and Fran and Barry would be beyond thrilled. I’m sure they’d knock off anyone from the schedule if Pamela Anderson chose to return.

Which is inevitable, yeah? Her run was a major success, I’ve been waiting for a return announcement like they’ve done with Jinkx and Ariana. 


I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.

The good impression was the highest sales for the show outside of a Holiday season, LOL.

Joking aside, as a fan of trash television, she got me to purchase a ticket and I think she did very well.
