Per ATC, Greg Germann and Missy Pyle will replace Bradley Whitford and Mary McCormack in BOEING-BOEING when they depart on Sept. 7.

Missi Pyle is one of my favorite film actresses, in the oft-overlooked supporting work that she does. Fabulous choice to replace McCormack.
When are Whitford and McCormack leaving?
The OP said, September 7th.
I love Greg Germann, he was hilarious on ALLY MCBEAL. I can definitely see him in Bradley Whitford's role.
Pyle has a funny face, I guess I can more or less see her being funny in Mary McCormick's role.
Other people on ATC are claiming that Paige Davis is telling people she is joining the cast in a few weeks, while Jessica Bogart was apparently spotted in the mezzanine last night mouthing lines along with a script.
Are Gina Gershon and Kathryn Hahn leaving as well? My guess is that Davis would play Gabriella and Bogart would play Gloria, assuming these rumors are true.

Good for them. I never thought the play woudl last long enough to justify a cast change.

HamiltonHeights - she was Boevers, and then married Matt Bogart.
Jessica Boevers married Matt Bogart, so she's now Jessica Bogart.

Congrats to them, and Matt Bogart needs to get back on Broadway! I love his solo CD!

Ahh, well that explains the name change then doesn't it.
I really hope its not her going into the show though, i'm not a fan.
I enjoyed her a great deal in ...Forum. However, I thought she was a disaster in Oklahoma.
Kathryn Hann is the best thing about this play. I'd see it without Whitford and McCormack, not sure I'd see it without brilliant Hann.
I shall have to see the show once more before the 7th and then again to see Pyle and Germann. I like both of those casting choices. I think Pyle was just on McCormack's show In Plain Sight a few weeks ago, oddly enough.

Mary was protecting Pyle's character, a witness who was less than anonomous in witness protection. This was the best episode of the series until the last two for me.
I am thrilled about Missy Pyle as Gretchen. Anybody who has seen her absolutely insane portrayal of Fran in Dodgeball knows she's perfect for this role.
I am definitely going back to see this show.
Speaking of the other casting rumors: Jessica Bogart and Paige Davis, I can easily see Davis as Gabriella and Bogart as Gloria. Assuming that Gershon and Hahn are leaving soon too.
