Either that, or JG is gonna have a well-deserved vacation then come back. I'm as curious as anyone else who will replace him!

Groff is probably leaving then. Have to wonder if they're looking to get a replacement to keep the show running.

Just my gut feeling - but I bet they're going to find an unexpectedly awesome replacement for Groff and everyone will go, "wow........why didn't I think of that one?"
Sweaty told us …we know we know …
FYI, according to Telecharge, Groff is out Jan. 13-18.

The show moves to a five performance week in February (Thursday to Sunday).
Can it make money with only 5 shows a week when some of the seats in the theatre have already been removed for the set? Fascinating.

which makes no sense unless Groff requested that for the extension. hopefully the rest of the cast still gets paid for a full week. or just let the understudy do one or two performances to get a full schedule.

No way is Equity agreeing to a concession of a pay CUT during a very contentious contract negotiation. The cast (and everyone else in the building) will need to be paid for 8 shows, so I’m sure something will happen for those 3 shows. Maybe they’ll be a ““preview period” for Groff’s replacement?
