Posted: 5/23/19 at 10:49amI love Klena, but his character is totally unnecessary to the show and should have been cut.

Hoping to see this, especially since it'd be my first time seeing Klena!

Maybe they gave him more purpose. (Or any.) We can hope.

I had heard of two very interesting names being seen for Stanley's role and an offer was extended to at least one. I'm sure she's fine, but it could have been a real event!

Why can't you just name the names?

Why would you say something to bait people like this?? You can’t say, so why would you post in the first place? If you can’t comment one name this was totally unnecessary.

What difference does it make? Stanley still has the role. And good for her, she was quite good.

It needs some work but I'm glad they are all transferring. Good chemistry.

Love Sean Allen Krill. He's excellent in the current production of Hamlet at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre.

I know Idina Menzel (who was involved with the show during its workshop phase) was being considered to replace Stanley for the Broadway production. Don't know much beyond that or if there was ever an official offer made. That being said, Stanley received raves in Boston so I am excited to see her make the transfer!

Any potential Tony wins or is it too early to say?

Posted: 5/23/19 at 8:47pmI heard Lauren Patten’s rendition of “You Oughta Know” pretty much makes her a frontrunner for featured actress. Standing ovations every night in Boston.

Posted: 5/23/19 at 9:46pmSeems odd to announce the entire cast before they hold NYC auditions

Elizabeth Stanley was fantastic in this. She delivered two of my favorite numbers in the show (including one that was delivered backwards!). I’m so happy they didn’t replace her with someone they thought would be a bigger draw.
Lauren Patton was outstanding as well.

Those are just required calls any production that announces a Broadway run is required to have. Normally the shows have already been cast from previous runs, labs, workshops, readings, etc. so the calls are more of a formality or to be considered for an understudy or swing track as well as for consideration as a future replacement.

Posted: 5/23/19 at 11:05pmNo, I know, I’m an actor. But usually they wait until after those to announce. Because now why would anyone go?! Just a waste of time and money.

People get so snippy lol... I heard this too. It was Idina and Nicole Scherzinger. Idina had conflicts with Frozen 2 press so couldn't do it.

Wowowowow - I adore Stanley in this role, but goddamn I would’ve done anything to see Scherzinger sing these songs. Wonder if she turned it down because the role is so acting - heavy. I can imagine this turning into a Waitress 2.0 with “celebs” replacing other players throughout the run. Love this show though, so excited.

Couldn't agree with you more. I was hoping that was a change they would make for Broadway.
