Jenna Ushkowitz to Step in for Kimiko Glenn in WAITRESS — Page 5

When she was cast, Ushkowitz was only scheduled to be on until Labor Day and stayed until late October. She has plans. It has nothing to do with the creatives not feeling she was a good fit. Everyone loves her there."

Yes. I know she has stayed longer than her initial schedule which is why I said maybe she never intended to stay this long. I don't know anyone on the creative team so I couldn't say firsthand if they liked her. It did certainly seem from afar that she was fitting in very well with her castmates. Hopefully she has something else great on the horizon.

In Wicked they definitely recycle costumes.

Jenna's costume in Waitress was new though since it was whiter and darker than Jessie and Keala's were. 

^Kimiko is tiny so of course they weren't hers. They might have been Ragan's though. Who knows. 

Basically if Kimiko or the company wanted the general public to know, they would have made a public announcemen with regards to Kimiko leaving. Obviously this was a private mattter regarding a performer and a contract and not  everyone is entitled to know everything about everyone at all times for whatever reason. And we move forward. 

What's weird is that in her Instagram bio it still says she's playing dawn. And it's not like the case of her not being on in a while. The last time she posted was two days ago. 

Yes!
