I just saw that Merle is playing Joanne in Rent. Didn't she just close Tarzan? Guess the girl knows how to get work. Not dying to see the show again, but I may have to go to see her, because she is the bomb!

Merle returned to Rent on July 9 for a short stint to fill in for Tonya who is injured.

Do we know how long she will be there? I hope it's through the first part of August because Tonya's just way too playful a Joanne for my tastes.

She'll be with Adam and Anthony for a few performances, then she's out.

Nice! That's what I thought and a large part of why I picked August 3. It's only a few days after they start. Of course I'll try lottery for the other days too. Just in case.

Ah well...Anthony and Adam will make up for it if Tracey is back.

I think she leaves around mid-August. She's an amazing talent (and a really beautiful woman). She won me over when I saw her as Joanne and she was one of the best parts of Tarzan. I hope she gets a huge project lined up after!

Any idea if she's still there on August 13th? I loved her the last time I saw her...
