Hey theatre experts! Does anyone know how long Patina will be in Pippin? I recently read she was cast in a movie and I have tickets for the show in mid November. Andrea Martin has already left the show and I am really hoping Patina does not exit as well before I see it. Any insight is appreciated. Let me know.
She'll probably stay a while. She stayed for a while with Sister Act which was pretty harsh on her voice, and she wanted to stay even longer, but they opted to bring in Raven.
@aasjb4ever I think carlodowd meant to say except instead of expect but i don't know. But yes, you should be safe. She goes on vacation in late October, so she has no planned absences as of now in November.
When you say she has vacation scheduled for late October, does that mean she is likely to be performing in the second week? I have tickets for October 12.
I wonder how long the other leads will be in the show. I am considering another trip to NY to see it again. But I won't be able to get there until the second week of January. Lots of people say that their contracts are up that month. I'm not sure if Jan 9-11 is too late to catch a lot of the original leads before they leave. Any way to find out for sure?
Does anyone know if Patina is leaving the show soon? I'm planning a trip for next month (february) and I wanna make sure Patina is still going to be on the show. Thanks!
They haven’t announced it yet. But since Cinderella announced its new leads, no doubt Pippin will soon follow. However I do think whoever replaces Patina will have to be quite famous and be able to do all the swinging around the stage and dancing that Patina does....Therefore a small net unless the person was training for a while, which it they were changing in January then we would know by now!
