What a shame Jeanna isn't continuing with the show. She was wonderful at the A.R.T.

They pride themselves in a full women creative team (something that is awesome), and yet a male character who really has no significance gets not one, but two songs that aren't even that good and have no bearing on the plot. If they like the songs that much (I have no idea why, they're easily the worst of the bunch), the should at least have the woman sing them. Let this be the women-led story it deserves to be!

Actually she was dropped. Replaced by Teal Wicks. Didn't walk away.

Yes. I agree. I hoped they would be reducing the role a little but seeing that they have replaced Jeremy Morse with a bigger name in Christopher Fitzgerald (who was part of the first reading) it seems less likely.

Jeremy Morse was great at the A.R.T.
