No one in the ensemble told you that. I know that for a FACT! Who on earth would leave a show 4 months after it opens? And contractually, there is no such contract for 4 months.
"
Actually, a person can be contracted for any length of time. But that's beside the point. When the show began previews the original word was that Jennifer Hudson had be contracted for six months. November-April: six months. I doubt any of the leads are leaving (we would have heard by now, probably), but it's not an outrageous question to ask.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
