That's too bad to hear that Uzele is leaving. Her voice absolutely blew me away when I saw her a couple weeks ago. She started her song and I was just immediately thinking "she needs to be a recording artist yesterday". Hopefully she's getting an opportunity to do just that!
Are they going to do a cast recording with the OBC?

I don't think so - unless they follow my advice and record an album live at the Brooks over several performances.

Was hoping all OBC queens would be here through awards season! But I'm sure Anna is on to something else.
I wonder why so suddenly when the show has such a rabid fan base and huge momentum as a hit. I hope she’s okay.
Likely for a TV/film project that pays much better, or maybe originating a more prominent stage role.
And people are allowed to quit or move on from things when they see fit.
Despite Covid, all of these women have been with the show for over two years now so it’s only natural they might want to move on.
Uzele posted on her Instagram story with the news.
And right there in parentheses, “big changes on the horizon,” followed by a wink emoji.
The title role in & Juliet? Perhaps Snow White in Once Upon a One More Time (with Aisha Jackson now working on Paradise Square)?
OMG! I am seeing the show the day before she leaves!

Both of those would be fantastic for Uzele.
If she's going to be in & Juliet, then you can count on me being there!
That would be so exciting if she’s doing & Juliet!

She's not doing & Juliet. She booked a TV show.

About a half hour ago, Uzele responded to a fan comment on the SIX Broadway Insta page requesting a B'way cast album being recorded before she leaves... again, three wink emojis. The SIX account also liked some other comments mentioning the lack of an OBCR.
Could this mean anything?
Another queen has (temporarily) left the castle before Anna Uzele. Playbill now lists Keri Rene Fuller as the replacement Jane Seymour starting from today until an unknown date. Expect a formal announcement about Abby Mueller's leave of absence tomorrow. For Reference: https://www.playbill.com/production/six-the-musicalbrooks-atkinson-theatre-2021-2022
Is it already time for this show to get a cast replacements and understudy thread?

I missed out on Jagged Little Pill, and I am seeing SIX later this month, so I am excited at this news! Congrats Keri!
And get well soon, Abby. I’ve heard it’s a LOA to prioritize her health.
Official: Fuller will begin as a t/r for Jane Seymour on March 14th.
Hana Stewart (who was in the West End production for two years) joins the Broadway cast as an alternate in her Main Stem debut, now thru April 10.

Hope Abby gets the R&R that she needs from her LOA.
I've had very little interest in Six - saw the London production pre-pandemic, and it really isn't my cup of tea. (That said, it is a ton of fun, and I can see why people like it.)
But I bought tickets as soon as I saw Keri's name. Incredible voice; can't wait to see what she does as Jane.
It sounds like Fuller isn't officially Jane Seymour until Monday. But has Abby Mueller already started her leave of absence? I'm wondering if we've already had the final performance of all 6 original Broadway queens.

She has already left, yes.

Correct - Abby has already been removed from the Playbill. Fuller is listed, even though she hasn't started yet. Mallory Maedke was on for Jane Seymour last night but she's on vacation for the rest of the week according to her Instagram. I assume the other alternate who covers her will be on for the week, then? I just don't remember who it is.

Keirsten Nicole Hodgens. I’ve heard audio of her Seymour and she is INCREDIBLE.
