Robin Williams in Spamalot? Maybe Jerry Seinfeld or Kevin Kline.... — Page 2

You can get a refund if this person is taking an unplanned hiatus from the show. When these people bought tickets they bought them with the understanding that they would be getting the whole package.

Azaria's departure is not exactly unplanned, but it wasn't mentioned early in the run and there STILL aren't specific dates. And, even if they don't get a refund...people WILL cancel. I can almost guarantee it. Think about what would happen if Nathan Lane took a hiatus from The Producers for four months when the show was only two months into its run. There's a very good chance that if people demand refunds...they'll get them.

I do agree that it's difficult to see him making his Broadway musical debut as a replacement. For all we know, this could just be a publicity ploy to keep people interested in the show and to prevent people bombarding Telecharge with refund requests.

Still...Williams might do it anyway. I'm sure he doesn't have a lot of time on his hands to do such a huge run...and I doubt he would be able to negotiate doing an original Broadway musical for only four months. He may see this as a great idea. Jumping right into a hit musical for a four month period. Ticket sales would go even more nuts for this show. It just might happen.

A couple questions:

1) When is Azaria leaving?
2) Isn't he returning? I thought it was a "leave."

Kline!Kline!Kline!Kline!Kline!Kline!Kline!Kline!

when is he leaving?

At this point I might just wait...have a shot at actual seats instead of SRO...

If this happens, God will not even be able to get tickets & watch out for scalpers

The problem I see with Robin Williams is him doing it 8 times a week & sticking to a script as opposed to winging it. We shall see.....

You're mentioning Michael McKean (who I adore by the way) made me think of an even more incredible replacement..... Chris Guest. My lord - that man can play ANYONE hysterically. Can you imagine him as the French Taunter? He'd never do it - but how I would love to see it!

I saw Oliver PLatt and Hank Azaria yesterday at Joe Allens having a drink. Perhaps discussing a Lancelot replacement? Who knows...I have about as much evidence as Reidel does with "Robin Williams has seen the show several times"
