I think it’s possible but they may need to do a few changes and I think that’s fine. What matters more is the comedic chemistry of the cast amongst each other.

i recall for Hedwig revival 9-10 years ago they had to alter a few things in the show after John Cameron Mitchell’s accident. I saw the show before and after the accident and both performances I saw were amazing!

They've had several "end dates" already. If this stunt casting keeps working, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't continue past June 28.

Is there still the assumption that Cole will return for Tonys voting season?

it's believed that Cole will return for the final weeks assuming it will close with Cole. Unless they keep opting to stunt cast the role and keep it running.

Side Note: Even though the CATS transfer is in the works, I certainly would KILL to have Sydney James Harcourt take on Mary’s Teacher.

BTW, I just checked telecharge and Tituss's entire 3 week run is sold out! Wow! Kudos! I'm not sure if producers are holding back tickets or if it truly is sold out (except for lottery/rush of course.)

(I also noticed that April dates post-Titus are mostly $399.00 top price ---- so either an extension is imminent, Cole is coming backor one of the many major names who we've been dream casting as Mary will step in......)"

You'll have an answer tomorrow morning.

I’m hoping the original cast’s return also lends credence to the rumor that HBO will be filming it.

Probably a silly question, what are the odds they'll still be in the show by end of May?

All three are there until the current closing date. Let's see if it extends again and who else might get brought in.

I hate the leg space on that theater. But grabbed the last two $76 seats on the side of the mezz for that Thursday 5 pm on his first week.

it's already recouped, and is pretty barebones in terms of set and cast size - I'd be surprised if it didn't get extended for another "name" casting or two after Cole leaves - unless there's a particular show already knocking at the theaters door

Who’ll be there for Tituss’s Mary debut tonight?
