OH MARY! Replacement Casting Thread

Okay, so with the announcement that Tituss Burgess is taking over as Mary, and the fact that replacements are going to keep on coming, let’s consolidate it all to one thread - especially because I think these brief stints are going to be common.

This casting is INSPIRED! I leave NYC the16th but am considering doing a day trip from Chicago at some point to see this!

Wow! I just bought my ticket to see Tituss!!! Looking forward to this!

Tituss will begin Tuesday, March 18, 2025 for a limited 3-week engagement through Sunday, April 6, 2025.

3 friends were unaware it was a super short stint and wanted to see him in May 2025.

This is gonna be amazing

Tituss is going to kill this. It's perfectly suited for him.

Dear producers: for future engagements, please get Amy Sedaris and Tracy Ullman on the line stat. They both have the brilliantly demented humor that Mary needs. I also think Bridgett Everett would be a wild choice that would get folks to buy tickets (perhaps you could stage a Somebody Somewhere reunion and have her alternate the role with Jeff Hiller).

I bought tickets in anticipation of a casting announcement this week; unfortunately my dates in New York are for the end of the month, after Tituss leaves, so I'm still not sure who I will be seeing. Alas. But the show itself is so wildly enjoyable I'll just have to enjoy whoever is wearing the curls.

My brain circuits just shorted from the sheer amount of queerness in this casting. I’d become a squatter in one of the boxes if this happened.

Nicole Byer would be fun.

Melissa McCarthy please.

Both Cole and Hannah Solow say the part is exhausting, so you may have a point.

Man I would love to see Tituss, but I won't be back till May
