Does anybody know when Jesse is leaving The Bee? Or any of the other castmates for that matter? I'd like to see them all one last time!
Doesn't he have a TV series this fall? Assuming they're not shooting here in NYC, I would imagine he'd be packing off for LA any day now. Such a pity. He's SO good in 25APCSB.

I believe Jesse is leaving sometime in July. I've also heard that Celia is leaving that month as well. Maybe liotte can confirm?

I want to Celia so bad again. She is amazing.

Does anyone know when it is closing?

Not for a few years. It's still doing very well at the box office and costs nothing to run.
awesome. I didn't know if there was an official date or anything. I saw it a year ago in may and I was a speller! So much fun. I might be going again in june so it will be interesting since I haven't seen it for so long.
No idea, but he was out Friday. Todd Bunonapane, his understudy, isn't as outright cute, but his acting is wonderful and he comes off as adorable.
I wanna know when the current cast members are leaving also, as I'm probably going away to college and won't get a chance to see any shows after this summer =(

don't leave Jesseeeeeee!!!! Ugh, it will be so saddd when they all start packing up and moving on. For whatever reason I really found Dan Fogler to be the worst out of the whole cast. And by worst I mean I didn't love him as much as all the rest, not that he was bad. So him leaving didn't break my heart, although his Tony win did because I though other male members of the cast deserved it. Either way when Jesse leaves it will be very sad. What TV show is he doing?
I met todd this summer as he is a Stagedoor Manor Alumni and he sang at the 30th reunion gala. He is a real nice guy and has a really nice voice.
Jesse is doing a comedy called "The Class" on CBS about a bunch of friends from kindergarten who reunite years later.

Yes somethingwicked, I heard about that show! I'm very excited. :)
But I must see him in the bee one last time!!! Definately going the end of this month. If he's not there, I'm going to cry.

I'm pretty sure he'll be in through the end of the month Updated On: 6/6/06 at 02:29 PM
Ah, which means I have to see the show again sometime this month. I thought he was one of the best parts of the show. Totally thought he should have been nominated, but o well.

Watching Big Brother All-Stars tonight...I know...but they showed a promo to Jesse's new show on CBS, and he is actually nicely featured in the ad. Looks to be playing kind of a nutjob, but adorable of course!

Barrett starts on the 25th
I know Celia and Barrett are good friends from college so I'm GUESSING they'd want to be in Bee together for a bit...
Don't know...

I saw the promo during a show my dad was watching tonight! I just about died, i was so excited all I got out was " omggghgsgdfg" while pointing. If my dad didn't think I was nuts before he does now.
It a shame he's leaving Spelling Bee, I really wanted to see him in it!

Jesse was great when I saw it, but I'm sure Barrett will be wonderful, too. I'm actually really interested in how he plays the part.
Q - Celia, Barrett AND Todd are Ann Arbor friends. :)
It's sad that he's leaving the Bee, but on the other hand we'll get to see him every week. I hope his show does well, but then again I hope it doesn't run TOO long. I want him back on Broadway.

I'm happy to report that Jesse is doing a great job on his new show, "The Class." I'm actually working on the show this season and they just filmed the first episode of the season last Friday [technically the second episode, after the pilot]. I think the show is well-written and very funny, but Jesse is definitely the stand-out. People who had no idea who he was were commenting on how great and funny he was.
If anyone has questions about the show, I'm more than happy to answer them.
