I recall reading that Joel Grey was supposed to be leaving the production this Sunday, April 29. However, there haven't been any recent announcements of his replacement. Is Joel in fact leaving on Sunday, or has he extended through September? Does anyone know for sure? Thanks in advance.

For whatever it's worth, Colin is leaving on Sunday and there's been no official word on his replacement (Bill English is coming back again)

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

I hope so.

Not having to sit through Joel's horrendous "aww shucks" gangster might be enough to get me to see the show again.

According to a cast member on Twitter, Joel will be with the show through September.

I know when I finally get to see it in NYC, I will be more biased toward my friend who plays Moonface here at school because he's amazing. Whoever I get to see in NYC probably won't even come close. In fact, my friend was reviewed as a comic miracle

I'm sorry, but do you honestly think your friend is more talented than Joel Grey?

^It's such a well-written role that it's nearly impossible to NOT be a "comic miracle."

Reviewed by whom?

And it's always good to actually keep an open mind, if you can't, then don't bother seeing the show at all.
