The new Mrs. Brill is Jenny Galloway, who originated the role in London (and was recently on Broadway as Madame Thenardier in the LES MIS revival.)

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

I really hope the new Bert is not Christian Borle. I can't get over how much I dislike that particular casting.

Does the fabulous Jane Carr leave at the same time as Scarlett and Adam?

How much longer will Rebecca Luker and Daniel Jenkins be minding the Banks house?

Aww, I might have to go to Jane's last show. She made so much of that little role, and I always noticed her onstage.

"but daniel is leaving the same time as scarlett and adam - there will be three principles all opening in the same week!"

Jonathon Freeman who is playing Grismby in "The Little Mermaid" will most likely take over the role of Mr. Banks. He confirmed to one of my friends at the stage door that his next project will be "Mary Poppins."

Oh Id love to see Jonathan Freeman as Mr.Banks. I loved him as Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast. He just loves Disney shows, doesnt he?

They pay VERY well. That's why a lot of their actors (Rebecca Luker, Kissy Simmons, Tom Alan Robbins, Steve Blanchard, Sarah Litzsinger, etc., etc., etc.) stay in them a very long time.

I do know that they're bringing in Jenny Galloway who was the original Mrs. Brill as well as Madame T in Les Miserables's revival as well as part of the all star cast of that show in the concert at Albert Hall. Now, that is something that I am looking forward to.

Ha, I remember her as the airline representative on an episode of Friends where Rachel is trying to bribe her because she (Rachel) forger her passport and wants to catch a flight to England.

You're right it was. And, for that I do apologize. I just have never understood the bashing of someone on here just for the fact that another user might not like them. If they don't like something that another user is saying, then there are plenty of other comments to respond to or they can easily just not say anything at all.

From Valerie Boyle's facebook, "I'm going to be on Broadway by the end of the year".

Valerie currently plays / originated the role of Mrs. Brill on the national tour.

Just throwing that out there.
