Leona Lewis just announced she is leaving the show in less than a month. Any idea who would replace her?

I wonder who would replace her? A Broadway veteran or a more modern pop singer?

Some might say it was too long! (Saved you guys from a terrible pun)

I'd love to see what Alice Ripley would do with it! I hope they don't go with a pop singer for the replacement

Not that she really had a big chance in the first place, but this seems to rule out any possibility for a Grizabella Tony nom in June. Bizarrely fast.
And, Heather Headley, please.

Pigs would fly before she'd get a nomination for this.

Guess Marway knew what they were talking about.

What was the point of bringing her in for a three month contract?
Honestly, can someone explain this for me?

Wasn't she missing a lot of shows? Between that and the terrible word of mouth, maybe they decided she should leave early.

Well, she was a last minute casting, since Nicole opted out. It is plausible that Leona had some committments ahead of time, so she could only carve out 3 months as Griz. Yes, Alice Ripley would be a fantastic choice.

She really only missed a handful of shows and it all happened over the course of a couple of weeks.

It wouldn't seem as big of deal if the show hadn't just opened. And if the time spent on stage wasn't so short.

Alice Ripley did say she had been cast in something on Instagram but didn't give details - maybe this is the role? I really hope so!

Seriously, I would go back just for Heather Headley or Carman Cusack

Alice Ripley, Heather Headley, Sara Ramirez, or Carmen Cusack would elevate the whole production to a new level.
