Mitchell Jarvis Suddenly Gone From ROA?

Heard of possible musings of "drama" and "weirdness" at the stage door? And Mitchell Jarvis is gone without so much as a word about his departure or replacement anywhere I saw. What's going on?!? Was really hoping to see him when I finally saw the show (for the first time) in November.

No idea what happened with Mitchell Jarvis, but the website now lists Matt Wolpe in the role.

Could it be that his contract was up after the original end of the limited run? It appears Katie Webber also has departed too

Either that or the show isn't pulling in an audience and they're cutting costs.

Extremely difficult to do with union contracts. 

Katie Webber is now in Tina.

Can’t imagine anyone in that is getting paid above scale. None of them mean a flying you know what at the box office. The show’s the brand.

Matt Wolpe’s Instagram says he’s only doing the show for 2 weeks. Could it be an extended vacation?

The post has been deleted, but Jarvis said on his Instagram that he would be out of the show until I believe October, due to some kind of neck injury he sustained

Still seems odd to take him off the website

He's back on the website but still not in the show with "joining the cast" slips for Wolpe. He was very good though so it's fine.

On the other hand I still don't like the show. Bat out of Hell was so much better. Did that have a much bigger band because it all sounded so much better. Or just the songs are way better.

Bat Out of Hell was such a loud show.
