She's had a GREAT run. Can't wait to see what she does next :)

Fahy is wonderful. A different more innocent interpretation.

Thrilled for Fahy!! She was absolutely delightful when I saw her as Natalie.

The New York Times reports that Damiano has indeed been cast as Mary Jane in SPIDER-MAN.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

So thrilled for Meghann Fahy! I love her interpretation of the role, I think she's great.

Any ideas as to who Meghann's understudy is going to be?

Mackenzie Mauzy was the vacation understudy so maybe she might get moved to full time?

I'm thinking NEXT TO NORMAL will be full on the 18th
For those who thought NEXT TO NORMAL wouldn't have a life outside Broadway, well it's now playing in 4 cities, 9 different countries and has been translated into 6 languages.

Fahy is fantastic, and this is well-deserved.
Congratulations to Jen on her new role. She's had a pretty impressive streak- her Broadway debut was in a show that won best musical, then she received a Tony nomination for her role in a show that won the Pulitzer Prize, and now she's going to work with Julie Taymor and Bono...all before the age of 20! Nice way to start your career!

so this leaves only Chandler-Berat & Hobson as the only originals left, correct??
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Yes, and Adam Chanler-Berat is the only cast member left from the 2nd Stage run.

Tim Young no longer covers Gabe and Henry. Brian Crum covers the roles now. Other than that, obviously, soon, Meghann Fahy will need to be replaced.
At 2nd Stage the covers were Jessica Phillips, Kevin Kern, Tim Young, and Morgan Weed. Obviously, only Phillips remains from that original group.

One thing I hate about small casts is that even when a few people leave the entire cast is almost gone. Only 2 of the 6 originals are still there and 1 of the 6 from 2nd Stage are still there.

Could someone summarize the comings and goings in N2N in the coming months? I can't seem to find the complete list. I'd love to see d'Arcy James as Dan again since I loved him at 2st, but would also enjoy seeing a new Diana and Natalie, since I've seen Ripley and Damiano in every incarnation (twice at 2st, once each in VA and at the Booth). Thanks!
EDIT: figures I read the article after I take the time to write all this. They're all leaving the same day. Alas, I guess it's a d'Arcy James OR 3 new actors. Methinks it'll be the former.

Well Ripley, d'Arcy James and Damiano are all leaving 7/18, and Mazzie, Danieley and Fahy will start 7/19, so you'd have to see the show twice.

No, Corey Boardman was the Gabe/Henry cover at 2nd Stage. Tim Young joined for the Arena Stage run.

How do Marin and Jason get to prepare for their debut? Obviously, they can rehearse their scenes when it's just the 2 of them, but do they get to rehearse with the rest of the cast in the theater? Just curious...I'm sure that they must....but how does that work with the other actors getting paid overtime or whatever?

Replacements rehearse with the understudies, so they'll rehearse with Meghann Fahy (who will be taking over as their "daughter" that same night), Brian Crum, and Michael Berry.
When Brian D'Arcy James was rehearsing, he sent out a tweet about how wonderful it was rehearsing with the understudies.
