Does anyone know how long the original cast is set to be in this production?

Of highest question - Is Sutton remaining until the end of the year atleast?

Anyone know?

Edward Hibbert is most likely leaving during the summer to do the west coast run of Curtains.

I had read that her two understudies would each be going on sometime in the fall for the two weeks that Sutton is on her honeymoon, so it looks like she is still going to be in in for awhile.

Typically actors sign one year deals. Hibbert apparently had a special arrangement with the producers to leave early. So, yes, other than Hibbert, the OBC should be there at least through next Spring.

Sutton's wedding is in September, so late October seems safe.

Does anyone know what day in September? My daughter gets married the 16th. I think it would be so cool that my 2 favorite girls are getting married the same day.

Bob Martin will prob have to be dragged out! (no really) I know he has some voice work commitments but I'm sure they can work around it but I wonder w Equity re "international" performers after all Bob Martin is a Canuck (albeit w a green card)
