So she opts to only take off a Saturday matinee when Ben Platt happens to be in town?

I heard from sources she was out and about during that afternoon. She has no regard for doing this show - I bet she leaves earlier than anticipated!

Just saw something on the unofficial Funny Girl Bwy IG that EXCITING CASTING ANNOUNCEMENTS COMING TOMORROW @ 1PM EST.
Just an aside, she posted that Ramin called her klutzy - so maybe she ran into the trunk.
Further to this post, which is what I started to answer - I've been saying mid-July. HOWEVER, in light of the new casting info, I wonder if Julie is going to be set as alternate. My guess is they haven't set anyone in as Beanie's replacement yet, so are going to edge into it with this change. Maybe with Ephie as standby?

Julie is standby: she isn’t in the show in any role. She only comes in to fill-in as Fanny. She’s “standby” when needed.
Ephie is understudy: she plays Emma and Mrs. Nadler in the show. She’s there at all performances. Only fills-in as Fanny when Julie, the standby, isn’t available.
