They're not sure yet about the next Jenna - Nicolette might be extending and then someone else (it's a good choice) will be being ushered in after her. Dates are still being worked out, I have friends in the cast.

I don't know. But Lindsay Mendez would be fantastic in this role and i would absolutely go back to see that.

Yeah she does: October 28th! She is in negotiations to extend.

I've heard that Nicolette is extending through the end of the year.

yes! I'm also all for giving Stephanie Torns an extended run as Jenna. Like several months long.

Probably would never happen, but Lea Michele as Jenna and Darren Criss as Dr. Pottamer would sell so well.

I don’t want to like this idea...but this would actually be fantastic.

Please keep both of them as far away as possible.

Nic herself has said October 28th. So has any advertising she has been on. So have all her famous friends going to see her. It's October 28th until they announce an extension. But, she has not said anything yet nor has anyone else. Does anyone know who the next Dawn and Ogie are?

I have some issues with Lea Michele, but she is talented. I would easily go see this show again for this duo, and they have amazing chemistry which would be incredible. Now I can't get this idea out of my head..

They’ll have to find a name, or the show will close from money or pressure from other shows needing a home. Really hoping Sara returns to close it out, as I didn’t care for Nicolettes performance at all."
I had similar feelings about Nicolette as well when I saw her last week. Her SUTBM was v emotional but the performance overall (and show as a whole also) just felt a bit flat. And jmo obviously but I don’t think she’s vocally as strong as the other Jennas (Disclaimer: I’ve not seen Stephanie). The theater was by no means full though so that was probably a factor too .... like you say, I agree they probably do need a name now, but I don’t think that’s so easy to do. They need to be famous enough (with the requisite singing talent to sing the score) to make a difference to the box office receipts, but anyone really famous probably wouldn’t do the show. Sara is an exception obviously.
As for how well the show needs to do to survive, idk what is profitable for them, so it’s hard to know. I can’t imagine it’s a super expensive musical to run as the set isn’t too elaborate and the cast is relatively small so maybe it’s current box office receipts are still acceptable. But they’re the lowest they’ve ever been right now, and have dropped over 30% the last 5 or 6 weeks. I’m sure the ptb must be a little concerned. Hopefully things will pick up in the next few weeks because I’d miss this show so much if it goes
