Does anyone know what date(s) Jonathan and Lea are leaving SA?

I'm sure this has been posted on here - I did a search and couldn't find anything. I apologize if this is being asked again.

Thanks in advance for you help.

Steven22 - I agree. I saw her on March 9 and she was amazing - especially with her acting.

So I assume they haven't announced who will replace them yet, right? Isn't May 20th the same day that the new Moritz will be starting?

I am glad I have tickets for April 5th, so I will be able to see them perform.

Apparently (I just learned this today) Socha as Wendla as of May 20 is pretty common knowledge. Kate Burton was telling people that. I assume she will be announced officially at the same time the new Melchior (and perhaps even Moritz) is announced.

There is no confirmation of Bashoff leaving on that date. It could happen, but they are currently in negotiations. (from his lips to my ears)

No official statements have been made to any replacements.

I hope Doyle takes over.
I loved him as Melchior. :]

YAY. :]

That is going to be a sad day for Jonathan and Lea. Wish I could see them before their last show.

I think Matt is too valuable as a swing to let him take over Melchior. I've heard it's Hunter Parrish from Weeds.

I've heard it will be Matt for the summer and then Hunter.

Blake Bashoff is leaving May 18th. They already have his replacement.

Any chance of Gallagher going back?

[ray-andallthatjazz86]

I doubt Hunter could do it during the summer as WEEDS will probably start filming soon after Mary-Louise Parker finishes her run in DEAD MAN'S CELL PHONE (the show usually begins in August and by the time they start airing episodes, filming is over).
The Fall date makes more sense. I can definitely see Hunter as Melchoir though.
