they also have the issue of the July 4 holiday weekend. whoever is coming in may not want to perform that entire week. though their schedule has them dark Friday, July 4 & Sunday, July 6.

I've heard Tituss is returning as well. Bowen Yang & Amy Sedaris are the two names getting thrown out there the most. All three could be jumping in for a 4-6 week stint.
Tituss is returning for six weeks starting on June 23.
Fantastic. 3 weeks was way too short of a run.
I had heard Bowen Yang had been offered but turned it down- which is fair, I think. He's gone from SNL to the Wicked press junket back into SNL plus The Wedding Banquet film and then will be returning to the Wicked press again in the fall- he deserves to have some time off this summer.
A shame Bowen Yang turned it down. Amy Sedaris is the name being thrown out there the most. I hope it happens. I doubt they'd have tickets on sale through the end of September without having the casting locked in until then
I just had a $40.00 off on Telecharge on Amex show up on my account so that came in handy. Grabbed a 5:00PM Sat show so can now have a three show day. :)

Do we know who will be coming in to replace the original cast after their return is done or are some staying on longer ?

Hasn't been announced. I wonder if Bianca decides to leave? She hasn't missed a show yet and it's coming up on a year.
Bianca and Tony have probably the best Princess tracks on Broadway right now. I can’t imagine either would want to leave other than for a vacation.
I would really like to see Bridget Everett as Mary. She is FILTHY and I think she would even outdo Cole.
I’d also like Phillip James Brannon to return, but also I think Jason Veasey or Josh Breckinridge would be an inspired choice. I’d also like Sydney James Harcourt or Cameron Loyal as Mary’s Teacher (but mostly for him in the Fiyero pants)
I think it’s safe to assume Amy (Sedaris) will be playing Mary Todd Lincoln at some point, I mean, she DID decorate Cole’s dressing room.

I saw the show with Cole and original company. I just purchased the script and when I'm reading it, I still can't stop hearing it with Amy Sedaris' voice attached to it.

This is a terrific idea! I can't believe Everett hasn't done Broadway before...even as a Mama Morton replacement. I know she's ultra niche...but she could do a straight play or a musical (and this is sort of both)

Exactly. She never holds back in her performances so I could see her really having a career-defining moment in this show.
My last remaining 'need-to-know' is what they are planning for June 16th, 17th and 18th.... with those 3 performances in what's now Cole's final week being off-sale, and when they will announce it. We've all been speculating a pro-shot, but would LOVE some confirmation
Has there been any sort of actual indication outside of speculation, gossip, or wishful thinking that a pro-shot is even in the cards?
Is there any show now that doesn’t have a rumor about it getting filmed?

Boop.

nothing outside of what's been hinted at here and on other message boards months ago, when these 3 dates were taken offsale.
Both speculation and wishful thinking on my part :)

How is Cole's attendance for this? I'm seeing the show on May 25.
Cole's final week has only 5 performances scheduled. Telecharge has the show dark Monday through Wednesday that week. Speculation has they're doing a pro shot then.

They’ve never been one to miss unless they truly cannot perform the role for whatever reason. I think it’s only been a handful of times. Honestly, the whole cast has had pretty stellar attendance (Conrad’s bike accident last year notwithstanding)

Sorry if it’s been addressed earlier in the thread, but any idea why the directorial credit changed from Directed By to Entire Production Directed By?
