Took acting role on cruise ship starting June 2021.

As for Kingsley, ????

Jeremy has never stayed that long on or off Broadway in over a decade. He will have moved on far before April."

Does anyone know how long Jeremy Jordan will be in this production?

From a very reliable source inside the production...Jeremy will be with the show at least through the end of the year.

Moving on to my own conjecture...I would be shocked if he stayed beyond that, based on the fact that he historically never stays in shows that long (as mentioned by previous poster). He's pretty open about the fact that he doesn't like spending so much time away from his daughter.

Also, he mentioned during his concert in Kansas City this past Thursday that he'll be back in Little Shop rehearsals starting Monday.

On a related note, I'm really curious about whether the Bonnie & Clyde concerts in London will go forward given Laura Osnes' unvaccinated status.

Any word on how long Tammy will stay with the show? I love her in other things, but she’s been the component keeping me away from this production. I just don’t want to hear the role of Audrey sung, um, less well than we’re used to."

I’m not planning to go to NYC this year but I will make an exception if Tammy leaves anytime soon. Would love to see Little Shop again but I don’t know if I can make it through with her.

Glowing reviews on here for her? Nope. But, it doesn't really matter what critics say about a show that is off Broadway anyways. It's selling because of Jeremy Jordan, that's really all there is to it. It sold poorly as soon as Jonathan left. Tells you all you need to know. She is replaceable and not good, so nobody would care or mind if she left.

She isn't good in the part and her voice is grating. Period. It's not really debatable so let's stop. Thanks.

And "law professors" don't use the word "buncha".

My only video that ever went - well not viral - maybe bacterial



Jeremy Jordan and Betsy Wolfe "Suddenly Seymour" with patter



That's Betsy's diary Jeremy makes away with at the end. She had used it as a prop.

I enjoyed Tammy's performance as well and would see her again! Glad to see the show is also selling well.

Edited: It's not like it mattered...according to Tik Tok users, Disney allegedly paid critics to pan the show so he could do Newsies in the spring.

**according to users on TikTok who most definitely are not critics or Disney producers.

To borrow from (and add to) a quote from 2 Broke Girls"...

"Twitter is stupid and Instagram is Twitter for people who can't read...and TikTok is for the people who find Twitter too intellectually challenging."

The TikTokers must not understand that if Disney HAD paid critics to trash B&C (or even attempted to do so), word would have got out, and it would have been the biggest scandal on Broadway in decades –– something that even Merrick and Drabinsky wouldn't have stooped that low for. Many people would have lost jobs, and it would have changed press relations forever. It is not overstating that this would have been Broadway's equivalent of Watergate.

That it was all about a leading actor who was great but not integral (you will recall Disney signed him for less than 6 months) and not about the show itself (you will recall it got a good review from David Rooney in the NYT at Paper Mill, and a not-positive review from Ben Brantley in the NYT on Broadway) makes it all even more laughable.

Idiots!
