Show people like to work. The original principal cast members of Broadway's murder-mystery musical comedy, Curtains, have extended their contracts in the show for an additional six months, through Aug. 31, the producers announced.

What great news! Although I'm curious to see how it plays with other actors in the roles, there's an awful lot of great chemistry and camaraderie between the cast of that show, and happy to hear that they're all sticking around.

YAY! I am so excited. The cast has great chemistry, and I would very likely not want to see the show with other people as Bambi, Bobby, Georgia, and Aaron.

I didn't mean it like it sounds...it was business!

No iluv. The show isn't closing August 31.

The principle actors extended their contract through August 31. So if you get to see it before Aug. 31 - you'll see most of the original cast. After Aug 31 - it's anybody's guess.

On the good hand it's great because this is one of the most talented ensemble cast on Broadway, but I was kind of hoping I'd get to see new actors sink their teeth into these great roles. Anyways, they replaced the only person I didn't like when I saw it in LA with an actress that I adore so I'm a happy camper. Can't wait to see it this summer.
Did Megan Sikora extend too? I don't know if she's considered a principal. I hope she did, because I want to see her in the role again.

She did. No one plays that role like Megan.

Took them awhile to announce this - I know at least one of them signed a few weeks ago. Perhaps they were waiting on others before releasing the news?

Anyway, it's great news!!

This makes me smile!

There's still so many people I want to take to see this version of such a fun show, and now I can do it this summer.

The cast is like the "perfect storm" of performers!

I'm so happy for the life of this show. This is like the Golden Age, when shows could run without being mega-hits.

Anyone have any idea if it'll recoup?

This is a bit off topic. I just got the cast recording today and loved it!!! I really wish I saw this last summer... instead of Legally Blonde (Even tho I liked it.)

I'm trying to get up to NY this summer... but it looks like over Thanksgiving
