I sincerely hope she auditions for it, I love every second of her performance whenever she graces us with her hilarious, gorgeous presence on stage. And that red dress on her? Stunning.

Betsy Wolfe’s instagram bio: 

Madeline Jan 16- April 19

Only a three month run. I wonder if that’s also the end of Jenn’s contract.

Having just seen Ana Gasteyer's holiday show (which is fabulous, by the way), I'd also love to see her take on Helen.  I saw her years ago in Rocky Horror and Wicked and her voice has only gotten stronger.  She's able to dial that brassiness back when needed and go soft but can peel paint with the best of them.

Gasteyer was phenomenal in Mattress (and she's one of my favorite Columbia's)! I'd looove to see her Helen.

Ana Gasteyer as Helen would get me back there so fast. I was fortunate enough to see the very first preview of the show in Chicago and have seen it a couple of additional times since, including twice on Broadway. I told myself I'd take a break from the show unless casting came along that really excited me. Besty Wolfe didn't do it for me (she'll be great in it, I'm sure.) But Ana Gasteyer would get me there so fast. 

I'm also curious as to how long Michelle is staying with the show.

Does anyone know if Megan is still on a limited performance schedule or if she is in all 8 shows a week.  I realize she is leaving in 3 weeks but I wanted to catch her before she goes.  If she is missing certain scheduled performances, please let me know.  Thank you.

She is not on an official limited performance schedule anymore, but she rarely works Tuesdays and was out both shows last Saturday. She extended her stay for one more week (she leaves January 11th now) due to Jennifer taking her vacation that week. Betsy Wolfe starts on January 16th (Friday) so January 13th - 15th the role will be played by Dee.

Not sure but Sunday Jan 4 3:00 is the last performance together for Megan and Jennifer! As Jenn is going on vacation after for a week.

BroadwayDirect lists her scheduled absences. Right now she is scheduled to be out for all shows December 19 & 20, and that's all that has been announced.

Absolutely NOT.

I love that idea but just like a lot of Broadway couples, she doesn't work when Colin is working because they have children. Perhaps when he wraps Ragtime in the Summer?

Kate Bailey will replace Natalie Charlie Ellis beginning Dec. 26. No mention in her IG post on whether she will cover Madeline and/or Helen.

The top line of her instagram bio reads:

Upcoming: u/s Mad/Hel starting Dec 26th

It hasn’t even been announced yet that Jennifer is leaving.
