that’s referring to lenne, who’s in the cast right now playing dawn. that’s not what they’re talking about in the post

this seems to make the most sense. desi recently postedthat she is about to start a new project (https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq-S72nFsd4/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet), and bryan even posted a picture of him with bryan and drew in the same rehearsal space, though he edited the post to say that they were not in rehearsing for the same show (https://www.instagram.com/p/BpqAKZLhs4X/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet).
the only thing that sets me off if the fact that the announcement photo is two condiment bottles, which is related to dawn..

They better not take Lenne away from us!!!

She's talking about Lenne Klingaman, the original tour Dawn who is now in the Broadway production."
Ahh yes. Sorry then!
Agree with Maura above though, the caption makes it seems like a new Dawn/Ogie pair...

i’m really hoping they announce that jeremy morse is coming back, though that’s a pretty big stretch, seeing waitress’s trend of star casting to stay afloat. he’s the best ogie in my opinion, he’s a huge comedic powerhouse

i could see that happening but is seems like a little bit of stretch

It is very clear from the context of that particular picture that Desi is talking about Lenne going to Broadway. It was posted the same week it was announced that Lenne and Alex Wyse were joining the cast.

David Cook postponed his weekly radio show yesterday for "last minute scheduling conflicts ". Maybe him as Ogie and David Archuleta as Pottamer,lol ?????? He did just join Cameo though and I saw some people got answered yesterday
Thinking about that recent Chris Mann theory I had on another thread .. He & his wife are good friends with Katie Lowes and Adam Shapiro (Wife is actually on the board of their theatre company ) and he saw them in the show when he was in NYC for a day for "work reasons ". Wife is back in Phantom through Mid January so I couldn't see them starting until February.... They'd be a good Ogie and Dawn. Chris also recently followed Sara on Instagram ...

Good for Desi if it's her, but I feel like if they were gonna go for Desi then they shoulda just gone for Stephanie Torns and given her a full go at being Jenna for a couple of months or more, and you know, let her have a playbill with her actual face on it lol! I feel like she deserves that opportunity. I think she's almost too good and reliable an understudy for Waitress and they don't want to lose that.
ETA: oh wait I see that the news is that Chris Fitzgerald is coming back as Ogie! lol

Unless someone has secretly been rehearsing as Jenna, I can't see it being anyone other than either Stephanie or Desi, or maybe Sara again?

yeah, that literally makes zero sense. they are just not the cast type at all and, in my opinion, they are way too old to play jenna.

I hate to say this because Waitress is one of my favorite musicals, but maybe they're banking on Chris to carry the show through the holidays with Stephanie as Jenna, and then it'll close?

Ooo good point...hopefully it'll be announced by the end of today!

December 10th is Monday. No show on Monday. I guess they mean the week of the 10th.
