Two weeks ago, while waiting at the stage door, I asked a cast member if she and the other cast members would start to follow Lin out of the show. She said that many of them had re-signed.
I saw this show on Tuesday, February 17th and it really surprised me. I loved it!

huh- so I mean we knew she was Wednesday in the Addams Family reading, but is this the first official word that she's going to be leaving to do Wednesday? Krysta Rodriguez's bio for the upcoming Broadway for a New America event-

So today Mandy, Marcy and Janet were all out, leading to...
that would be Nina Lafarga on as Nina, for (I believe) the first time on Broadway. That's the matinee board, but I think she was also on again this evening.
Nina was on for both shows today. I wasn't there but a friend of mine went and said she was incredible.

The choosing was not...

Her "Everything I Know" during the matinee show was kinda epic, I *really* enjoyed it. And I've never thought that she looks like Mandy, but when she first entered, before Breathe, I got confused for a second and thought "wait, I thought Mandy *wasn't* here" before I realized it was actually Nina!Nina.
Cleveland is also a stop, though it has not been announced officially yet.
My boyfriend works for a newspaper near Cleveland and overhead the Entertainment Editor talking about how Playhouse Square will be getting this "fresh new show" called "In The Heights." I'd be more excited, but I'm moving from the area this summer.
