That's so sad, she was GREAT! Is Greg leaving today also? Or July?

Seeing her in DRS was wonderful; it was such a joy to see her on stage again, this time in something happy and funny. She is magnificent.

I thought she was leaving in June! Aww...well she was fabulous in the show. Definitely one of my favorites. The show wouldn't have been the same without her. She was in the show all 3 times I've seen it.

Bye Joanna- I saw her on Kids Night on Bway (Jan 31st.) She was fanatasic- Her & Greg had great chemistry and even stole the show sometimes from Jon, Norbert & Sherie.

The second OBC'er to officially leave. *Stifles sobbing.*

She is just amazing. I'm sure we'll be seeing her onstage again very soon.

She and Greg made supporting roles, that in the hands of lesser performers might have seemed pointless, two of the most memorable in the production.

It is a shame to see her go, as she was so much a part of the lovable OBC. Farewell to a wonderful star and best wishes on her next project.

Oh and just so everyone knows, Luci is not taking over until May 20th. Until then, her spot will be filled by Laura Marie Duncan (who is leaving soon too) and Rachelle Rak.

Umm...what? Rachel de Benedet is playing Muriel until Lucie comes. Laura's the understudy. I don't think Rachelle plays Muriel.

Anyone going today? I wish I could. Please post details!

That would be...interesting...

NOOOOO.

I wanted to see her in this in June!

[SirLiir]

Rachel de Benedet then. Too many Rachels and Rachelles in the cast ><

On cam days Greg used to type the message "Time to woo you know who" just before leaving his dressing room to perform "Like Zis, Like Zat". Last night, when he returned he showed up on the cam with a very sad face and the message "Only one woo left to do". It was cute - but really very sad.

Rachelle Rak is a bit short in the tooth to be playing Muriel, methinks.

Bye Joanna!

You were truly amazing as Muriel, and you lit up that stage everynight. I will miss you!!
