Just caught the show and wanted to share my thoughts! The chemistry between Jinx and Corbin was lacking, which made it hard to fully connect with their characters. While Audrey's voice was good, there was something missing in terms of that wow factor that makes a performance memorable. On the bright side, the facial expressions and comedic timing were spot on for Jinx, adding some humor to the mix.

Corbin's performance, although technically impressive, felt a bit robotic at times. Having seen a previous cast with Jeremy Jordan and Joy Woods, I couldn't help but notice the stark contrast in the overall energy and emotional impact.

Joy Woods managed to evoke genuine emotion in her role, unlike what I experienced this time around. Overall, an enjoyable show with standout moments but lacking the emotional depth I was hoping for.

Any reports of the new cast?

Sarah Hyland just started her run this past Tuesday and has missed at least 3-4 shows already (yesterday and today)—anyone have thoughts as to why that would happen? Doesn’t sound like it’s a sickness issue based on what the box office indicated.

This funk cover of "Somewhere that's Green" with Sarah Hyland and Andrew Barth Feldman is great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etMPdFOtuoo

Hyland’s had a lot of well publicized health issues over the years. (Including two liver transplants if I recall correctly) Quite the trooper, and I’m amazed that she is able to attempt a live theater schedule like this. Modern Family modified their blocking, shooting schedule etc for her. Rough way to spend your teens/20s esp in the public eye. Hope she’s ok!

I thought it was nasal, whiny and pretty dreadful

Anyone know when the current leads are there until? And it’s currently only selling tickets through January. Do we think it’ll extend again?

Tickets are on sale through January of 2026.  I was curious too about new casting.

Nope, I mean January 2026.  If you go to Telecharge.com you’ll see tickets are on sale until January 4, 2026.

Just got an email. They are in it until Sept 29

They’re ending their runs soon. Surprises nobody knew has been announced. Maybe they’re having a hard time finding people.

They're being announced September 19, at a 5th anniversary Times Square event:

That seems pretty late for the new cast announcement.

Posted: 9/6/24 at 3:19pm

Eh. Whomever is taking over probably begins rehearsals on the 16th, so it would make sense to announce them that Thursday. I'm sure it's all been set in stone for quite some time and this show doesn't need to drum up business far in advance like others I'm sure.

I read on Twitter, so you know it MUST be true, that Ellen Greene may step in for Audrey for the holidays? 

I can't find the tweet now, so I may have made it up in my post-Debate Night haze.

Did anyone see Andrew and Sarah in the show?  I didn’t realize James Carpinello and Kevin Del Aguila are in it.  Thoughts?

This was a Sweaty Oracle rumour, and it was suggested the show would then close in January 2025.

Ellen Greene is in her 70s for crying out loud.  Who would you cast as her Seymour?  Or Orin?  Mushnick?

Would she be able to perform all the shows ? Her voice was exhausted at the second performance at city center, but let me tell you it was such a magical event.

I can't say who it is, but it's not Ellen Greene.

According to the sleuths on Twitter, it looks like the odds are on Nicholas Christopher & Sherie René Scott based on the silhouettes.

Christopher seems to be more correct, while Scott is slightly more ambiguous.

I wonder who is going to play the role for the next month while Christopher is still in Hamilton.

The silhouette and the two clues (bloody hands, Hamilton reference) sure suggest Nicholas Christopher but he seems too mature/strapping for the part and hes IN Hamilton so I dont get it?

What would the "waiting for you" reference be re Sherie Rene Scott?
