This is what I want, personally. And the notice in the screenshot says she'll be in rehearsal in November, not actually in the show yet, so this would make a lot of sense imo.
This would be interesting casting. Hilty followed by Simard as the next two Marys?
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
I was hoping someone would start this thread! Whatever it is, I just might have to come check it out.
"Rocky Horror" seems to make the most logical sense to me. Do we know how long Sherie Rene Scott is staying?
"Schmigadoon" I have no desire to see this show, buuuuut if Megan Hilty happens to replace, I'll be there.
"Oh, Mary!" Personally, I could also see her as Louise and being so game for it, too.
I can't imagine she'd be going into something like "& Juliet" and her "Wicked" days seems to be behind her. Whatever it is, super excited to have Hilty back. I thought for sure it would be several more years until she returned after departing DBH.
Also, is it professional for the venue to put this information out there like that? I feel like the wording should be something vague like, "conflicting engagement"
Hilty hasn't been a replacement since Wicked at the beginning of her career, so I imagine this has to be something exciting enough for her to want to. My bet (hope) is on Oh, Mary. Louise seems like too small a role for her unless she's playing alongside a huge star. I think she'd be brilliant as Mary.
Also, I imagine doing an 80-minute play with a little singing would be really enticing after her experience with Death Becomes Her.
Megan replacing Simard in Schmigadoon or Sarah Chase is slightly believable.
Megan joining Oh, Mary seems the most likely and best for her talents.

It has to be Schmigadoon - Probably Mildred Layton.
OH MARY seems like a stretch since new casts don’t get a lot of rehearsal time, and Bowen is in the show until 12/6. While they can afford to be risky with casting, I can’t imagine they want to put a new Mary in over the holiday season.
For Rocky Horror, I could see her doing Magenta. I would imagine Sherie’s contract is up when the show was scheduled to close in the end of November. Doing it through February 28th seems like a good gig

How I longed for her Mother in Ragtime, but I’ll take Megan in anything. My gut says Schmigadoon. She could easily replace Simard, but I think she’d be a better replacement for Sara Chase if she’s leaving or taking a break.
Someone also suggested Audrey in LITTLE SHOP. While that is technically off-Broadway, it makes a hell of a lot more sense than some of the other possibilities.
