I'm just as excited for this as I was for Bette.

SO THRILLED!
I'm planning an NYC trip next summer...should I snatch tickets for Bernadette when they go on sale this Saturday? I have some Audience Rewards points that I want to redeem for a couple shows, but I know tickets aren't available there until awhile after the initial onsale. I'm already planning on redeeming for Band's Visit. Do y'all think it will be a more likely possibility to redeem for Bernadette or, say, Mean Girls? Thanks for any insight!

Beyond excited! (even though this was my favorite show last season and any announcement would cause this reaction out of me)
Also, I think its safe to assume there will be different merchandise without Bette's name on it, but do you think we will be getting a new Program Book as well with Bernadette on the cover?

I'd use your rewards for Mean Girls. I have a feeling discounts will be available for Bernadette, and most of the fish to see her will be in her first weeks.

Thanks, Mildred! Wasn't even thinking discounts as much as I was thinking possibility of being on AR! I agree Mean Girls will be a hotter ticket. I don't think Bernadette will be an instant sellout all the way into May, so I'll check availability occasionally and snatch up a ticket if need be. Cheers!

So I guess we'll find out how many shows/week she's doing when tickets go on sale and how long she's signed on for?
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.

There was nothing in the press release about Donna Murphy's departure, but I can't imagine Bernadette needs or wants an alternate. I also don't see Murphy agreeing to be Peters' alternate, but who knows.

As of this moment, I think Donna is leaving with Bette.

I don't think she's staying either. Her replies on Twitter suggest that she's there for a finite amount of time, and I doubt the show would stay dark were she to continue with the show. I was hoping to see her with Garber in a FOLLIES reunion, but I'll make a trip to see her last performance in January.

I just hope Donna gets a new show of her own ASAP.

I definitely feel the "BERN" but once you've seen BETTE.... nothing can top that....
I love VICTOR GARBER and wish he could have done the show with BETTE...
Is GAVIN staying past JANUARY?

Would love for him to join another incoming production. With his recent Tony win, I'd hope he would be on a casting director's radar.

I'm 99% sure that the rest of cast is there until March. Gavin and Kate should still be there.

Oh, I wasn't aware their contracts were through March.

I don't know. With Midler, Taylor Trensch, and David Hyde Pierce all leaving, I'm inclined to agree with Jordan that Creel will depart as well. I don't really wanna see anyone else as Irene after Kate Baldwin won me over with her grounded and funny performance, but there's a good chance that the main princials all depart.

I can't imagine that the entire principle cast would leave all at once. I would imagine that they would stay on with Bernadette unless they have been offered another project, which I don't believe they have.

Maybe Bernadette will do what tRump did and just fire everyone and bring in her own team.
