Hes leaving to do "Westport Country Playhouse's production of Kander and Ebb's All About Us. The latter will run April 10-28."

There is a thread on this.

So if Rob is only in through the beginning of May, does that mean Shuler's coming back after Rob?

"Playbill.com has learned that Evan will temporarily replace Tony winner Shuler Hensley, who created the role in the Disney musical, while Hensley appears in the Westport Country Playhouse's production of Kander and Ebb's All About Us. The latter will run April 10-28.

Evan will be part of the Tarzan company March 28-May 6, according to a production spokesperson."

One would assume hes comming back. Makes me wonder why they didn't just go with the understudy. Perhaps their grooming Evan for a full time take over once Hensley departs for good.

I'm hoping Hensley stays through the beginning of July, since that's when I'll be going to New York.

That's a good assumption, especially since Hensley is slotted to play the monster in Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein, as I was told.
Guess it will be another wait and see situation.
