As it is about 2 and a half weeks away until Nicolettes departure is there any world on potential replacements or another extension?

Pretty sure she’s extending.
She’ll be extending, along with a great new Dr. Pomotter....

Will it be a celebrity or a Broadway name? Any hints?
Expect Nicolette to extend until Jan. 6.

It’s always fascinating to se how people have such good connects that they know dates and who is coming in . Bravo
A broadway name, that will make a lot of sense. Not much I can say yet!
Leslie Odom Jr?

As cute as it would be to have Leslie and Nicolette together, I've always thought James Snyder would make an absolute perfect Pomatter! Here's to hoping he finally gets to do it!

OMGGGG Leslie Odom Jr as Dr P would be super cute, if this is true (even if I don’t necessarily see him as he geeky type)! I think he could also bring in extra eyeballs too!!
And the rumours were true and Kat McPhee has been cast as Jenna in the West End Waitress which I’m super excited about. She killed it when I saw her in NYC and I think her Jenna portrayal is so well suited for British audiences <3

I have no idea if this ^ is true or not...anything can happen of course....but on Thanksgiving Nicolette was posting on Instagram (more than once) that her last day is December 9th. I can see where she might not be allowed to say things but I can’t see her lying.

Okay so, Tiffany Mann temporary replacement ends in early December? Any ideas on next Nurse Norma?

Any word on when they'll be announcing the new Pomatter? I have a hunch, and I'm very curious to see if it's correct.
According to her instagram, Nicolette is not extending and plays her final show in 10 days. So... who’s next?

At this point, I’m going to take over as Jenna ha.

realistically? they are probably going to call sara back in for the holiday season and because she just came off of her performance on some late night show (can’t remeber which one right now)
idealistically? i want christy altomare in the role (but unlikely as you would have to pry anastasia from her cold dead hands
Mabye torns will take over. Isn’t there a star Dr. pot coming in??

This fell through since my last update, sorry!
I know of more than half a dozen "names" that were going to go into Waitress before dropping at the last second...
Is there something going on with the Producers/managment that is causing this?
There is a MUCH higher volume of this at Waitress than there seems to be with other shows...
So it appears that, #1. Their name they had lined up for the winter fell through. & #2. Nicolette can't extend. #3. This should give Torns a long run as Jenna(finally!). #4. I'd guess Sara returns in the Spring to close the show.

It's the Weisslers and they're cheap? Many singers might have read the fine print on the contract and said no thanks? But the turnover for such a small show has been enormous recently.
