Yes, Scott for a week and Dave for a week. Then... ¯\_(?)_/¯



Is it definite that Dave will be on the 27th, whether or not that is the closing date? I'm looking at buying a ticket and if the closing show is soon (or just a Dave show in general), I'd like to get a ticket now."

I have not heard anything on the subject; my comment was drawn entirely from your unsubtle hint which I continue to think was out of line, especially now that we know it was based on hearsay. I had no problem at all with your first post on this matter. I'm not trying to pick a fight either.

Why does it matter. We've heard all kinds of stuff from all kinds of posters. If he wants to reveal something that's up to him. If he doesn't he shouldn't have brought it up in the first place

Duly noted. Not sure her not feeling well enough to do act 2 means anything, though.

trpguyy said: "Everyone knew Oak was bought out and that Mandy would be coming in several days before it was announced. "

To repeat: he was not bought out; he was fired. It is a distinction with a difference.

Don't Equity rules prevent actors from getting fired (unless they do something insane)?

I believe that's what Hogan is telling you.

Is this something where we're going to hear what happened eventually? Or is it always going to be hush hush

No, Equity rules say an actor can be fired at any time but must be payed for the notice period (which in the case of a term contract is the term) (or such other amounts as are negotiated). "Just cause" only relates to whether there is a notice period.

You have a very clever imagination.

Two observations, mullein. First, rumor innuendo and gossip are cheap, and inherently distinguishable from fact. Second, people working on a show are often the last to know (without regard to the fact that they thrive on rumor innuendo and gossip).

Two other observations: First, there is a reason a person cannot be convicted based on hearsay. Second, everything you need to know about this subject you learned playing the telephone game in second grade.

One hunch: I think trpguyy basically has the correct current information with the huge caveat that the captain of the HMS Imperial is akin to a drunken sailor.

I guess it will all come out in the dirty laundry, or not. (I hope not, to be honest. The show deserves a decent burial, not more ugliness.)

I am confused about one thing, and I can't resist asking. There certainly is a difference between having your contract bought out because the producers want to bring in a big name and being fired. The latter seems a lot worse, unless everyone concludes that the people doing the firing were seriously out of line. Also, if he has been fired, why is Onaodowan still performing in the show? Is that normal?

Per usual, Hogan and his condescending tone are here to educate us.

"The captain of the HMS Imperial is akin to a drunken sailor" You jumped on others who said something similar.

Pot calling kettle black much?

So, this is as much as the cast knows? In which case, we probably won't hear about a closing date this week? (Want to go to the last show, and running around a lot this week, so I'm checking for an announcement all the time, like a crazy person, heh)
