And yet the posts are accurate. Maybe they've been reading but hadn't joined. Having been here the entire time, the knives were indeed drawn from the start and continue to be."

Always interesting to see what people focus on: YOU JOINED TODAY, the online message board version of an ad hominem attack that has nothing to do with merits/substance. I think the implication here is that I'm a shill? (For what? FG, the mediocre show enjoying a mediocre but well selling revival? I should do better at my shilling.)

Ive been here longer than many of you, lurking, then posting for a while, then lurking again. Now im back, back again. 

well, thats what I thought but then someone commented that I had only joined today, which I guess you agree is completely irrelevant, because who cares? 

Beanie and Jane will be leaving September 25. 
 

 

We all knew Jane was leaving (per her NYT article) but was not sure about Beanie. It's for the best and if they cast another name, I sure hope they can sing beautifully. If not, Julie's star turn has been thrilling to watch and it would be incredible if she took on the role full time. 

Very happy Ramin is staying with this. Let’s get Fran Drescher in for a few months to replace Jane. 

I feel like they will give Benko the part full time, as they don’t really need a big name to fill seats

Yep, she was originally signed on for a full year. No surprise she's leaving early. Just give Julie the role full-time.

Not even gonna lie: I would buy a ticket to see Lea Michele take over. Probably won't happen. But, just saying.. if they're looking to make this an "event."

Throw in Idina as her mom while you’re at it lol

Is it crazy to hope that somehow Shoshana Bean can replace her?

Even if it's a quality upgrade, they are going to be in trouble with no big names. If they go with Benko (which I'm fully supportive of), then they need to try to get a big name to replace Lynch.

Off the Beanie topic, I will say it was such a joy seeing Jane Lynch in this when I saw it in previews. She was so JOYFUL and full of life. I've never seen someone just so excited to be part of the group. She was positively radiating during the curtain call. It was infectious!
