Looks like Jan will get first billing. Kind of a slap in the face to Tony WINNER Victoria Clark. But Jan's been involved longer, though neither of them sell tickets.

ljay, while Vicki's a Tony winner, Jan should've won by now. And as you said, she's been with the production longer.

So sad to not see Vicki Clark in this. I bet she'll be amazing.

But wait!? Didn't all the know-it-alls here say that Jan, Danny, and Elaine would NEVER go West? There must be a mistake!

I'm super envious of all you west coasters, I wish she had gotten a chance to do it here. But I'm sure she'll be amazing!

I legit may have to fly out to see this. I thought Victoria's performance was beautiful in the Encores production, and would love to see her in a fleshed-out production.

Just a side note but has her sudden departure from Sister Act ever been explained?

I heard that she was concerned about her voice/going on vocal rest, but joining this cast goes against that...

I guess this could be the reason.

Meh. I'm not a big fan.

THANK GOD. I'm gonna be in LA for this! I can't wait to see what, if any, changes they make from the NY production. And I love Victoria Clark, so that will be fantastic. Wonderful if she'll be as....interesting as Bernadette has been.

I'll have to fly out and see this...mainly because I adore Victoria and think she's perfect for the role, but also to replace Bernadette in my memory of this production.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I do find that kind of sad...as if she was 'left behind'. But whatever. Victoria Clark will give a great performance, I'm sure.

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

I'm sure the producers wanted more than anything for Bernadette to go to LA. But I think it's nice that she's fulfilling her concert engagements.

I do wish I could see Clark. Hopefully she starts from scratch and rebuilds her Sally. I know she has it in her. I thought her LOSING MY MIND was far more of a misfire than Bernadette's. Though Bernadette's can be hit-or-miss.

So excited, I have season tickets to the Ahmanson and the Follies tix showed up in yesterday's mail. Loved Victoria Clark in Light in the Piazza.

Man, I really wish I could see this. I finally was able to see the production in New York- my first time ever seeing Follies!- and I thought it was breathtaking, but Bernadette's performance was puzzling, to say the least. And vocally, at least the night I saw her, she did not seem comfortable with the score at all, though I did think "In Buddy's Eyes" was well done. I'm sure Clark will do a terrific job though, she's a great actress and her voice is stunning.
