Hey guys! I'm in Denmark and I haven't had much time to post, but I just came across this story that Cloris Leachman is in the hospital! I hope she gets better and is able to perform in YF!

I hope she gets better. Anyway she already turned Mel down hence why he asked Jack Black.

NGD2225, I think you need to take into account that that tidbit was announced in PAGE SIX. A gossip columnist wrote it.

A new Igor was selected a while ago. He's not a name. He's been rehearsing for a while.

Yeah, a name would be awesome, but Jack Black isn't going to make people immediately rush out and see the show. If YF were to stunt cast, it should be done carefully, as not just everyone can fit into these roles.

I'm surprised Chris Fitzgerald is leaving? Does he have another gig lined up?

Dolly_Levi, Chris Fitzgerald will be starring in the title role in MINSKY'S, the new Charles Strouse/ Bob Martin musical preparing for an out-of-town tryout in LA this spring.

Cloris is smart for turning him down IF she did. A "you didn't want me then so I'm not doing it now!"

Go her!
