After the La Cage matinee today my friend asked Kelsey Grammer when he was switching roles. In response he said (this is paraphrased), "Might not happen anymore. Maybe next year." Does anyone know about this?

Posted: 6/19/10 at 11:44pmHe said a little while ago he wasn't going to do it. Probably has a lot to do with that new TV network or whatever the hell it is he's starting.

Posted: 6/19/10 at 11:45pmThat's been the case since his TONY nomination. Hopefully Douglas extends his stay.

Posted: 6/19/10 at 11:47pmI wonder if the Weisslers will cast a string of B/C list TV names as Georges once Grammer leaves? Will Friedman and Babani go for that?

Posted: 6/19/10 at 11:57pmPaulo Szot was rumoured to be Georges in the first place before Grammer took the role. I hope he will replace him after his South Pacific run.

Posted: 6/20/10 at 12:14pmHodge is British. Equity may not allow him to perform longer than 6 months. It's happened before.

Posted: 6/20/10 at 12:46pmA Tony Danza/John Stamos show isn't stunt casting. It's EVENT casting.

Posted: 6/20/10 at 12:56pmEquity is allowing Alexander Hanson to stay longer than six months, and he wasn't even nominated for a Tony. I'm sure Hodge can stay if he wants to.

Laura Michelle Kelly has been with Mary Poppins since October. Equity seems to be getting very lenient on England/America transfers.
