Hello All!  

I was wondering if there's been any information as to how long Patti will be in Company?  I looked around on the web, but could not find anything.  I want to go in early June with my husband so he can see Patti.  I know there can always be unplanned absences and vacations, but I thought someone here might know more.  Thanks in advance for any insight or information.   :)

I highly doubt Patti will leave before the Tony Awards. No official announcements, but she wouldn't leave before (or during) Tony season.

I suspect she’s filming something this fall, so my current guess is until Labor Day.

That's what I was thinking too, with or without the filming.

I would say until sometime in the fall as she is most likely contracted for a full year. I think she wants to stay with this show as much as possible as this is probably her last musical on Broadway. Do I think she will come back to Broadway? Of course, but not with a musical. She will perform for the rest of her life because that's what she loves to do.

She came out of her (albeit brief) musical retirement for this show, so I suspect she is going to ride this wave as long as she is able to. Definitely at least until the Tony Awards

It’s a role she’s struck gold in getting, and it’s not exactly a physically demanding one.

EXACTLY! She has always wanted to play this role on Broadway, especially after she played Joanne in that concert version from like 2011? She will play this role for as long as she possibly can. When I saw this last month, I could tell she really enjoyed playing the role. You are right, it's not that physically demanding. I think the most dancing she does is in the opening number as well as "Side By Side" and that's about it. I have tickets to see it again in April and I could not be more excited! This show is everything!

Until she is cast as Carlotta in the next Follies revival.

I don't know if she would commit to that as COMPANY maybe her last musical. Maybe if it's a STRICTLY LIMITED run on Broadway.

There has been talk of a Life Goes On revival and while casting hasn't been announced, it's hard to believe she's not involved.

She all but confirmed her involvement in the reboot when she was asked about it on Watch What Happens Live. Patti was asked point-blank if she was involved, and said she couldn’t talk about it other than it was shooting this fall. That’s a yes.

There has been some talk that Patti's involved in a musical version of A MAJORITY OF ONE. She would play the role Gertrude Berg originated on Broadway and Rosalind Russell played on screen.
