Laufey’s tour ends in March, so she can easily step in and replace as Claire in May.

Yes, Laufey and Jordan Fisher starting in May is the current rumor. Both are incredible artists that would sell many seats so it's a great choice if true.

I'm surprised that he hasn't tried to do Fiyero yet but Jordan Litz has a tight hold there.

I think the justified criticism around his Anthony in Sweeney Todd made him want to prove everyone wrong. He left that show after 3 months because he knew it was the wrong fit. People have expressed how sick of him they are being in everything, but he's really extraordinary with contemporary scores.

Helen left a few days ago, and they’ve made a point to announce that Hannah Kevitt, who took over, will be playing the role until April 2nd. Seems weird to give it an end date. Does that mean they have a name coming in?

Obviously, they have contracted someone to replace, starting in early April - whether that person is a name or not - who knows. They will probably wait to announce the name until a little closer to that person's start date so as to not inadvertently sway ticket buyers from waiting to see the show.

Tiny Desk concert releases tomorrow. 

Also, Laufey will be touring Asia, Australia, and New Zealand over the summer, which probably takes her out of the Claire running at the moment. No indication as to how long Fisher is doing LITTLE SHOP.

This was in reference to Savy Jackson. The Principal casting is intriguing to me. I wonder if someone dropped out…

But Sweaty said it was someone else and was all up in arms. So this announcement must be wrong.   Isn’t he all knowing?

I wouldn't know. I blocked him on all platforms a long, long time ago.

^You must be an ABSOLUTE delight to be around. 

I'm thrilled for Zach! I've seen him in several shows over the years and he's so talented. I can't wait to see him in this role. I had wanted to see Hannah during her run so I'm thrilled she's taking over. 

I'm also so excited for Steven and Claire taking the show out on the road,

I feel like Piser was definitely on the short list to come in and take over at some point. It seems like the obvious choice.

i wonder if they would ever lure other stars from KPOP over to the show. Not that that show was a raging success, but I do recall most of the audience being big Luna fans. Maybe getting her would work - food for thought.

Piser seems a good choice to replace Criss, and it will be intriguing to see how the show fares without a star name above the title. Interesting that they decided to cast a non-Asian actor as the new Claire standby given the controversy surrounding Andrew Barth Feldman. 

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body
