After having played two principle roles on Broadway, I doubt Davie would replace in a swing track.

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.

Does Kerry have a leave of absence coming up?

I agree with Somethingwicked. If Davie goes on as Kira, I would certainly head to the Helen Hayes right away. I think she's fantastic, though I was hoping she'd replace Kelli O'Hara in SOUTH PACIFIC instead.

EDITED due to my bad memory.

Wouldn't GREY GARDENS and CURTAINS make two principle roles on Broadway?

Ahhh! CURTAINS, yes. Completely forgot about that one. Thanks for correcting me, Ljay. I'll edit.

Kate's last day is next Saturday. They've already hired a new swing. I forgot her name, but it's NOT Erin Davie.

I second that! I have no interest in "Xanadu," but if Roseanne were to join the cast, I'd buy a ticket. I'm still a huge fan of hers.

I don't think Kate's last day could be next Saturday. According to this she starts in HAIRSPRAY on Friday...

Yikes!!! Anyone remember her as the Wicked Witch of the west in that random production of WIZARD OF OZ at MSG?? It was very....special. Her singing voice is like Rosie O'Donnel's.

The other site (that shall not be named) is saying Xanadu won't close on OCtober 12, and Roseanne is coming in , is this possible?

What "other site"??? Every single legit theatre news site says it's closing Oct 12...and now Telecharge has updated as well. Can you tell us where you are reading this?
