I would love to see Pell in this, honestly.
It’s official! Betty Gilpin will be taking over as Mary.

Betty Gilpin (nominated three times for ‘Glow’)?"
Ding ding ding! Was just announced on Morning Joe, Betty Gilpin takes over for an 8 week run.

What do I win???
Interesting but inspired choice. Would love to hear the behind-the-scenes story of the casting process.
Gilpin is an incredible actress, truly underrated. Hope this pushes her career forward.
I’ve been a big fan of Betty Gilpin’s since Nurse Jackie and, while I have a hard time picturing her take on Mary, I’m so glad to see her take a big swing with her Broadway debut. I think she’ll be excellent.

this sounds about right, I hope the film is ala a PBS Playhouse recording from the 70's "on video" ect
apparently short notice, but Hannah went on tonight as Mary Todd Lincoln.
for anyone that has seen the show without Cole.......
do they still play Cole's recorded preshow announcement, and if not, is it still "Blythe Danner"????

Hannah is on for both shows today. Cole posted that they have the flu.

If Cole has the flu then what does that mean for the $5 show today? Does that mean they'll be out for Mary's special birthday performance? That would suck.

Cole posted to Instagram that they'll be in the show tonight!
Anyone win the $5 lottery today? Judging by their videos, it looked like a zoo.

The New York Times names Cole Escola one of its 10 Breakout Artists for 2024 (gift link).
They also got the esteemed upper right corner spot (intersection of Highbrow and Brilliant) in New York Magazine's 2024 Approval Matrix.

Just for fun, I checked StubHub to see top prices for some of Cole's final performances next week. $4377 for Thursday at 5 lol. Less expensive ones available, but several at 4K+ each day. And some right now at $7700 for their final performance on Sunday. It will be interesting to see how they drop and where they land.

Unfortunately, the showing isn't selling very well after Cole leaves. Hopefully word of mouth once the new cast takes over will change that.
