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.

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)

The role of Aaron, normally played by Denny Paschall, will be in the hands of Eddie Bennett (May 3 - June 23).

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.

Swindal returned this weekend as Mama. Not sure what happened to Natasha.

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.

Mary Clare King recently returned to the Ambassador Theatre on May 20th. She is taking over the role of Go-To-Hell-Kitty while Jessica Ernest is on maternity leave. The current Velma Kelly understudies are: Mary Claire King, Kristen Faith Oei and Mikayla Renfrow. Roxie Hart understudies are: Mary Claire King and Rachel Schur. Matron Mama Morton understudies are: Rachel Schur, Arian Kedell and Celina Nightengale. I wonder who will replace Max Clayton (who leaves in June) and Max Von Essen (leaving in July).
