Block is really Mullally in disguise.
And there's my incentive to see this...

This is awesome! I'm glad I got a moment to enjoy this before everyone starts trashing her for replacing Sutton.
LOL blaxx. :)
I have a feeling Block is only going to be a temporary replacement until more of a "name" comes in this summer.
Yes! Now I don't feel bad for missing her last fall. Great for her to play the role on Bway again, even if she does go on tour.
SO happy for her! She's an excellent Reno.

I saw her in November and LOVED her! But I got tickets through HipTix for April 22nd thinking Sutton would still be in it because I want to see her in the role! I know that HipTix says there are no refunds or exchanges, but do you think that they would switch in this case?? Considering she was announced to be in the show until April 29th, I don't think it's too crazy to say I wanted to see her and I would like to switch my seats.

I saw the show in January - loved the dancing. But after seeing Stephanie in WICKED, I think her voice is a great fit for the music in ANYTHING GOES. I'll go back to see her in it....

I'm happy that she is returning to the show. She is a very talented woman.
"I have a feeling Block is only going to be a temporary replacement until more of a "name" comes in this summer."
Is this kind of actor suppose to come early summer or late summer?
Stephanie has one of the best voices in the business and I heard she nailed the tap dance number. Can't wait to see her, will get my family to come up during spring break to see her in it! It will be interesting to see who replaces Joel Grey!
beautywickedlover, early summer. I believe the show will close in September to make way for THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD in the fall.
Is studio 54 or American Airlines booked? I don't know why they wouldn't try to make as much money out of ANYTHING GOES as possible..
They are selling tix through Sept 9th, the numbers are good for them and any other show will need a lot more time to get up and running before the end of summer. ANYTHING GOES will more than likely play to Sept 9th and beyond if sales warrant.

I would have thought Edwin Drood would be more likely for Studio 54, I imagine Roundabout would want to use the current Broadway set for the tour rather than build a new one but it wouldn't surprise if they extend until January 2013 nor would it surprise me if it closes in September, it has done very well for Roundabout and the tour should do good business.
I am so happy for her!
Stephanie is wonderful in the role. Good for her.
Yes!! I'm glad I have another chance to catch her in this show.
I might be headed to NY in early April, and while I was looking forward to Sutton, I am really looking forward to Stephanie!
Good for Steph, and Good for the audience.
Go see her, perfect fit of Actress/Material/role.
I think Cole would have adored her and her voice.
based on when she starts, a 6 month contract seems likely for Block. March 13 - Sept. 9. And if the show does well during the spring & summer, there should be no reason it doesn't extend again until the end of the year.

I think Drood will take Studio 54. Isn't Harvey supposed to play there for a strictly limited engagement? This means Drood can go there once Harvey has finished its run. But I wouldn't be surprised if Anything Goes closed... it all depends on the ticket sales I guess.
I predict a closing notice. Possibly June or July.
Great news. I'll be seeing her in the show again in April when I'm there.
One more Hiptix left and I'm glad to use it for this.
