Only until September 25. Then Beanie takes over on the 30th.

Did people miss troynow’s Lillias White scoop above? I’m surprised there aren’t more reactions.

Will Mann (recently left the tour) is in as a temporary Hermes standby for this week. Guessing that will probably get extended until they get a new swing in.

I can’t tell anymore what’s sarcasm, hopeful speculation, or a scoop on here.

Generally, if troynow posts it, it's a scoop.

That’s really exciting. I’m imagining what her voice will sound like on that score. Can’t wait!

If this Lillias White news is true, does anyone by any chance know a time frame for when she'd start?

Talk about dreamcasting coming true. If this actually happens.

Is Patrick Page scheduled to return at all? I know Tom Hewitt is on now but they haven’t dropped Patrick from the website.

How on earth do people know about Lillias White. I don’t understand. Unless it comes from Playbill or the show itself, I’m not believing any casting speculation.

Yes, Patrick Page will return the beginning of August.
"Handing the keys to Hadestown to the incomparable Tom Hewitt for the months of June and July, while I make a visit to Schmigadoon and continue filming "The Gilded Age". See you back at the Walter Kerr in August!" (From Patrick Page's Instagram)

I won the lottery for tomorrow's matinee, never seen the show before. I know Patrick Page is out but I heard good things about Tom Hewitt's performance.

Has anyone heard anything about Chris Sullivan potentially stepping back into the role on Broadway? Somebody asked him about it on IG and he commented back "we might be working on that".

Don't know about Chris Sullivan, but I do know that Lillias White was at the show again tonight.

RE: Chris Sullivan
Something tells me Rachel Chavkin, in particular, isn't gonna want to put a white actor in a role that's currently being played by a Black actor...

Right? That's why I assumed it wouldn't ever happen, but I don't know what else he could mean by that (the question was specifically about him playing Hermes on Broadway). Maybe they're looking at him as an alternate or something.

A White actor is currently playing Hermes on tour.

Considering how very often he’s out per his (Latino) understudy’s Instagram page, I’d say hardly.
