She's 'De-Lovely' and She's Coming Back! Stephanie J. Block to Return to ANYTHING GOES March 15th — Page 2

ACL2006, as I said earlier, I highly doubt Block is on a six month contract.

Because of her pilot being picked up to series, Foster is leaving the show almost two months early. I'm sure that put Roundabout in a bit of a bind, so it makes perfect sense to bring Block back for another limited engagement to fill in the gap until a permament replacement begins. My guess is she'll will be with the show through around when Foster would have completed her originally scheduled run, and a new Reno (presumably more of a name to sell tickets through the summer) will begin in early to mid-May.

I saw Block on her first night as Reno and she was exquisite, I loved her the second she came out on stage (and people on the board know how disappointed I was when I found out I missed Sutton by a day, I almost returned my tickets). She completely won me over, she had such ease with the score, and even if her dancing wasn't as strong, she commanded the stage effortlessly and acted/sang the role so well! I'm glad she's given the chance to go back to it and develop the part a little bit more even if she doesn't do the show for the whole summer. It must be a dream come true for her (and Foster) to play Reno Sweeney on Broadway.
I'm curious to see if they indeed get more of a name for the summer. Hopefully it'll be someone who has as much charm and presence as Block (I love the idea of Mullally that is being discussed in the other thread).

Personally I can't wait to see her again. Like another poster said, I think the she fit the score and the role perfectly.

Jonas is contracted through July 1. Criss could conceivably come back for 2 or 3 weeks before Glee starts up again.

I am also wondering about getting a refund myself. I paid full price for two Row B tickets specifically because I wanted to see Sutton Foster in the role, and she was promised to be in through April 29. Has anyone else ever had to request a refund due to circumstances like this? I bought my tickets through Telecharge.
