City Center’s MATTRESS transferring to Broadway this summer — Page 3

That went much smoother than the sales that I read about last week.

I wish more cast had been announced.

Friday I got an email from United that after reviewing their routes they were adjusting services for the Fall. My original plan was to travel to Washington DC where I've never been, see sights, then take Amtrak to NYC & spend 4 days. Now my trip to DC was going to be 12 hours with 3 flights: YVR-SFO-ORD-DCA. After looking at other options, I decided just to scrap the visit to DC, and rebooked a direct flight to Newark ( United's hub). Now I have time to see 9 shows on November.

I probably would have passed on this show if I hadn't made that change to my vacation plans.

Very excited for this. Seems like a perfect role for Sutton.

Any chance Beth L joins the cast now that Lempicka is over?

Although she’d be great as the Queen, I would have to imagine that Harriet Harris would continue with that if she’s able to and if not they’d try to get a similar name in the role.

I'm near the Hudson. If you'd like, I can check before you make the trip over."

That would be great! thanks so much!

I agree she would be fun for this role, but I hope Harriet Harris returns - I thought she was absolutely delightful at City Center.

Given that Sutton has been nominated for everything but ''Frankenstein'', I think she likely will.

What are the chances of this extending to mid January? Slim to none? We caught it at City Center, just won’t be back till mid January.

First preview is July 31, so rehearsals probably begin any day now. (The casting notice doesn't list an accurate 1st rehearsal date.) So I'm surprised we haven't had an announcement yet.

Harrison Ghee is unavailable doing Midnight in Chicago and Nikki Rene Daniels is doing The Music Man in Pittsburgh. That leaves those roles open, and maybe Harriett Samsom Harris and Cheyanne Jackson will transfer ? Anyone know anything?”

Music Man is only until the 14th, so Daniels should be fine assuming she’s coming over. She knows the part already.

Nikki Renée Daniels reposted an Instagram story of Playbill’s horoscopes that had a picture of a bunch of actresses in costumes along with her as Lady Larken, wrote a caption so as not to be too obvious and added “#Larken 😉” at the end. I assume that means she’s reprising the role.

Not sure why the cast hasn’t been announced. It’s getting pretty close. Any more clues on the Wizard?

Telecharge is not the official ticket seller for this show. Tickets can be purchased here:

I hadnt realized Harriet was the Queen! Millie reunion! I hope she reprises her role!
