Hi there - 

We would really love to see Rhiannon in Shuffle Along - I know she's joining the cast in July, but is there any way to find out how long she will perform? I am currently in summer classes, so we won't be able to make it to NYC until late fall (and maybe even December). Any ideas on who I might be able to contact?

Thanks for your help!

my guess would be at least six months.

Audra is leaving July 24th and is expected to be out until around December (contingent on how Audra's pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum period progress, I'm assuming).

Audra is slated to do the show through 6/11/2017

Thanks for the info! We are going to try to make a trip from Indiana (or ninner nanner as I like to call it) to see this show and hopefully Dear Evan Hansen.

Is it official that Audra is scheduled to return in December? I don't know how far along her pregnancy is or how long actors usually take for maternity leave, so I'm pretty clueless as to when she might return. I'll be in town New Year's Eve week and would love to see Audra in Shuffle Along. It goes without saying that Audra's maternity leave and time with her baby is the most important thing, but the timing of her return will figure into whether I buy a ticket to the show, as trivial as that decision is in comparison.
