I know Lin is returning but any chance Karen will return to replace Marcy? And I know that Jordin Sparks is leaving in November. Who is replacing her as Nina?

I hope Marcy is out lol. I hope she doesn't read that. Seriously it would be awesome if Karen came back for the end. I hope that Gabrielle Ruiz is in as Nina. She is Jordan's understudy, and she has been in and out of the role between all the other stars over the last few years. I've seen her a couple of times (since I've seen the show 15 times) and she is by FAR the best Nina out of any of them.

I hope Robin De Jesus comes back too, and seriously ANYBODY needs to come and replace the new Benny, watching him act was like watching paint dry. :/

Let's also pray that they decide to tape it, like they did at RENT. :)

This is complete speculation, but Arielle Jacobs left the tour cast this past Sunday, and Jordin is leaving in two weeks. I wouldn't be entirely surprised to see Arielle take over as Nina.

She's good, I saw her in Austin, TX..... she's just not as good as Gabrielle.

I'm sure it was already filmed for TLC's archives, but there is no need to film the final show. There is not the same kind of audience for it as there was for rent.

Supply and Demand.

Who's replacing Arielle on tour? Also, Rogelio Douglas Jr. left as Benny. Who replaced him?

Really? Yes!! Now I'll get to see here on my stop of the tour. Who is Carla, then? Another previous u/s?

My only wish is that Marcy is not Vanessa at the final performance. Karen Olivo!!

Interesting. I saw her first performance on tour and liked her, but she seemed so uncomfortable. I would love to see her again.

Arielle Jacobs NEEDS to be on Broadway. Her voice is perfection.
