Don't think it was supposed to be announced yet, but the North American Tour page of the website showed who our Marys will be for the tour. Seems like it's been taken down. Drag Race's Alaska will open the tour and be with it through mid-Jan, and will be succeeded by J. Harrison Ghee for the remainder.

These were the two images on the website when it was still up. My guess is they weren't finished editing (obviously Meg's picture, not J's) and accidentally made it public.

While the information was still up on the website it appeared that J. Harrison Ghee was going to be Mary's Husband during Alaska's administration.

That certainly kills any plan for Ghee to be in the DREAMGIRLS revival unless they wait another season.

Surprised that Oh Mary will play San Francisco's smallest Broadway house, the Curran, and all main floor and loge seats are completely gone for the run -- no orchestra or handicapped seats remain for any performances, only some back rows in the first balcony and the last six rows of the 2nd balcony.
Why they did not pick a larger house or extend for a 4th week is a mystery since this show was bound to sell well in San Francisco.

Why they did not pick a larger house or extend for a 4th week is a mystery since this show was bound to sell well in San Francisco. But some of the less-successful musicals are playing the 2300 seats houses and have tons of empty seats for all performances. Maddening for theatergoers who only want certain shows, not the entire season."
Considering OH MARY started in a 250 seat theatre and is now in a 1000 seat theatre, and the major concern was upscaling in the transfer, if they play the bigger houses - demand or not, the show itself will suffer.
I’m seeing both shows on that Sunday in CT

So given there's some activity going on with the website updates, do we think an announcement is coming tomorrow? I mean, surely this week they will have announced?

John-Andrew Morrison is stepping in as Abe for the first few legs of the tour, Hartford, San Diego, Vegas, and San Francisco. (9/19 to 11/1). Ghee is stepping back for a medical leave of absence.

Seeing this in Las Vegas in 3 weeks.
I added 3 nights to my trip & changed my flight when Diana Ross announced a weekend of shows at the Wynn. Then I looked at maybe seeing this twice. Tickets in the same part of the rear orchestra that I had paid $65 for were listed for $99, and when I looked again the next day they had jumped to over $200.

I was worried Ghee was rushing in to do this too quickly.

I think it might be more of just a brief setback than anything else. They’ve been working consistently with this issue for years now, so this just sounds like an unexpected bump in the road. Without getting too into the weeds, they had mentioned in a previous interview that they have been able to avoid dialysis so far, but maybe now they might need it and are probably looking to establish a baseline and coordinate care - which would be hard if they went out West for 2 months
