Nothing has been announced yet, but do any of you have a sense or have rumors of his departure date? I may be getting tickets to Cinderella and I hate to buy them for only to be announced that I'll missing him by a day, week, or whatever. I'm guessing like late January/early Feburary. I'm planning on going the week of the 13th.

Assuming he doesn't leave his contract early, he's in until the end of January.
Rumors on whether or not Laura will extend, anyone?

Miley Cyrus will be taking over the role when Laura's contract is up. The show will titled Wreckingella

Do many people on this board think the show will be playing into February?

Thanks Bdwayphreak! :) I should be fine then.

He's doing Act One at the Beaumont with previews starting March 20. If he rehearses during the day and plays Cinderella at night, he could keep going until the end of February/beginning of March. He doesn't always do the length of a contract. He was allowed to leave Billy Elliot before his contract was up to do the ill-fated Brighton Beach Memoirs, I think.

disneybroadwayfan, I saw that, I also have seen that they've hit 50% of potential gross four times since Sept 1. I loved the show, and really love me some Laura Osnes, but I'm not sure I'd bet this show sees the first day of March. FTR, I hope I'm wrong, but...

You just saved my behind, we were aiming for a matinee (sp?)!!!! Thank you so much! It'd be so awful to see the show and not have him in it. When do you think he'd begin rehearsals?

I think that the show will play through summer 2014. It makes a decent profit in the good weeks, and doesn't lose much in the bad weeks. Just my opinion.

Santino and most of the other principal cast members are leaving at the end of January.

^Who else besides Santino, Harriet, and Rebecca? And is it really important to go to the evening shows, instead of the afternoon ones?

Does anyone know if Ann Harada is leaving anytime soon?
