I wonder why they haven't announced a new Berthe yet with less than a week before they'd be starting. It has to be Tovah or Priscilla, right?

Its probably Priscilla which is why there is no announcement yet.

Priscilla was probably contracted through the end of the year, but when they could get Andrea for a few weeks they bumped her, probably with pay. This is what they did to Jackie Hoffman during Xanadu. When Whoopi was brought in, I'm almost positive Jackie was still at least partially payed for taking six weeks off.

Whoopi was brought in because Jackie Hoffman needed a hysterectomy!

Jackie Hoffman took the time off to do promo work for her CD. She'd already had her hysterectomy. She talks about it on the CD she took time off of XANADU to promote.

I'm not sure that's great casting. I still wonder why they aren't announcing whether Priscilla is coming back or they have someone else coming in.

Uh this casting for pippin sounds odd. I would think someone like Hunter Parrish or Kyle Riabko would be next in line...

MY WORD!!! Stunt casting in a Weissler show?!? That's just unheard of!

Thankfully he's in for a short stint.

I am done with the show. I saw Andrea last week. No more. Horrible stunt casting.

This is one of the most bizarre instances of stunt casting I've seen (which is saying something). Could this guy be any more blatantly wrong for the role?

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Josh is an incredible vocalist and musician. But he is not an actor or even "entertainer." This is misguided.
