So far, the only definite from what I heard at the stage door Sunday was Tommar Wilson was planning to return to Hairspray. Also Carollee will be in that concert? ANy other speculation you've heard, like Hugh returning to Phantom?

Carolee and her husband Gregg Edelman have been doing a workshop, but I don't know what will happen with that. I think Carolee needs to be in the new cast of Les Mis! She is amazing. I asked Allison Fischer if she'd try for the new Les Mis but she said it was already casted. I really hope she comes back soon she's great.

...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

I've no doubt the first chance that is open, Hugh will be back with Phantom.

Carolee would be a GREAT Fantine in LES MIZ and hubby Greg would be good as Thenardier or even Javert. Can anyone remember clearly if he played Javert before? My mind is jumbled and I simply can not find my complete list of all the casts right now.

Allison will thrive, I am certain.

Actually, I don't know about Hugh returning to Phantom. No doubt he will be in something though. We will DEFINITELY be seeing some of Drew Sarich though!

Carolee told some fans at the stage door for the last perf of "Lestat" that she was offered Margaret for the LITP tour but just can't leave her kids...

Get Drew back to Broadway immediately. All producers in NY should be lining up for his services, and considering how many US fans he's made over the short run of Lestat, it's pretty damn impressive.

Hugh said he's going to focus on recording his cd first. He didn't say what he means to do after that. I've heard the rumor about going back to Phantom, but I haven't asked him.

One of my friends does a fan site for Roderick Hill and she said something about him going back to LA to do "The Irish Curse" again.

I definitely look forward to whatever Jim Stanek and Drew get into, though.

Jim Stanek said he'd be focusing on his family for a while. His wife is either about to have or just had a new baby.

Calvin - Jim's wife gave birth to a boy the evening before Lestat closed. Jim was, of course, off for both Saturday performances and Chris Peluso understudied.

Roderick is doing "The Irish Curse" in New York, not LA, in the fall. He is doing something with Meryl Streep this summer.

Thanks for clarfying that...I was trying to talk to my friend in the middle of a crowded lobby...she kept missing half of what I was saying and vice versa...I know she said he was going back to LA at some point.

Does anyone else loooooove Drew Sarich on the Paul Simon Album singing "Bernadette"? He could do a new production of the Capeman!
