"Scheduling difficulties" is the most common excuse I've heard when people are fired from a production.  If they really wanted her, they'd have found a way to make it work by delaying the show or using an understudy for the first few performances.

Or perhaps theatergoers complained and didn't want to see her.  Just like Kathy Griffin.

^It's been widely reported it's due to illness, and Rosie has mentioned it many times on her blog.  There's no "scheduling difficulties" or situation here.  Stop being ridiculous, clearly you aren't a fan.

Can't say theatregoers care too much about Kathy?

She's sick. There's no dirt. People, especially theatre goers, still love Rosie. She's a champion of theatre. She's also a great actress. Did you see her on SMILF? Heartbreakingly good.

Rosie has all kinds of talent, she should be out there more.

I was really sad when I heard she was sick and had to pull out. I hope she finds herself in another play at some point. I agree her acting talents are underrated and a good play could really show them off well.
