Thanks! Has anyone seen marrisa? If so, how is she?

marissa is a great tracy, i got to see her the night before the strike.

Marissa is amazing. (And the night before the strike was THE BEST, Marissa as Tracy and Van as Link.)

Anyone know if Ashley is still planning on leaving on the 16th or if he's extended again? I'm 95% sure they don't have a replacement for him, so my only conclusion is that he's staying on.

I saw Marissa Perry as Tracy at the end of October. She was wonderful.

Not sure what happened with their website as Marissa's picture was up there at one time, but now I see that Michelle Dowdy's picture and bio are back.

I believe Ashley is only staying around until they do find a replacement. They had a new Link, but he had to drop out, so they are still looking to bring someone in, but once they do, Ashley will be leaving. And Marissa is great as Tracy, she will be going on December 29th and 30th, if anyone wants to catch her.

Does anyone know if Lance is still leaving on the 6th? I haven't heard anything about a replacement yet, so I was wondering if he extended for a bit.

He is leaving, and his replacement is set to start on the 10th (though Kasey Marino will be going on as Corny on the 8th, 9th, 12th and 13th).

You can't know how excited I am to hear those songs in their original keys.

for some reason i would like to see Riki Lake as Velma Von Tussle... i enjoyed her singing on the soundtrack and we know she can act... i think she could pull it off... it would be cool to see her be in the broadway version after having done the original movie...

I saw her a few months ago as tracy. She was gr-8! Does anyone know how old she is? I mean, she didn't seem old or anything, but what ages are the tracys usually?

I'm so excited to see Kasey's Corny! It's going to be weird hearing the song in its original key, though - I've seen the show a bunch of times over the past six months and I've kind of gotten used to Corny's songs being sung by a bass.

I thought they were bringing back Clarke Thorell...I could be wrong though.
