Edited: the "Gimme Some Sugar Spice Pie" refers to both Sugarland and her 2016 song "Sugar" ("Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme some of that sugar /Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme something sweet /They want my sugar and spice and everything nice /And they're begging for a taste of my cherry pie". Also, the "Fantastic Franberry Pie" is a nod to lead producers Fran and Barry Weissler, who also stunt cast Nettles in theirChicago.

Buy tickets now folks - don't miss her!"

It very well could end up being Jennifer Nettles (she’s my top guess as well), but the pie names don’t mean anything. Those are the standard pie names that are always up on the board as a part of the set (including the O and the N), as can be seen in this Instagram:

And I also said that in the comment above yours.

I don’t think the O N means anything. The board always has those letter looking like that, it’s just part of the set!"

Correct. So, an actress from Georgia. That's cool. Jennifer is extremely talented, so that would be very cool for all the fans.

Jennifer Nettles would be a fantastic choice for Jenna. I truly hope this is the case.

My second guess is Diana DeGarmo.

It's obviously going to be Stacey Abrams.

Sara just posted a video on the waitress Instagram page, explaining that she is experiencing some vocal fatigue and will be calling out of the show tonight (not COVID related at all). She also said they’ve been working on something exciting, I wonder what that thing could be.

I'm leaning toward Jennifer Nettles also!

Some people were suggesting Jessica Vosk?

I'm still hoping Jessie closes out the run though.

Most likely the rumored proshot w/Bareilles.

Would love to see Jennifer Nettles in the role! There's a performance of her singing SUTBM on Youtube, so much emotion and passion. She gave everything!

I definitely think it’s gonna be Jennifer Nettles with the Georgia reference and that she’s friends with Sara (I mean that always helps lol!). Not sure how I feel about it as I don’t know her music or voice that well. She’s not a big star name, or is she?!

Selfishly I’d have liked to have seen Nicolette or Kat back as they were my faves, but I’m actually a little disappointed they didn’t choose a bipoc Jenna to replace Sara. I mean maybe they have if it isn’t Jennifer.

My bank account can’t handle a Jennifer Nettles announcement.

If it's Jennifer Nettles I will lose my mind. I've wanted her in this show since it opened!!

I'm trying not to get too excited, but same. I guess I'll just have to see it a 5th time.

I’m wondering if Jennifer will come in for a limited run, maybe six weeks or something and then mid-December they’ll announce a closing Jenna. Just a thought I had earlier today.

They are recording the show this week. There are signs in the lobby asking people to be extra quiet.

I feel like Nettles has been throwing herself in the Broadway arena for the past couple of years. She did "No Good Deed" on the PBS Wicked concert. I think she'd be fantastic. And hey, if it keeps the show running. Happy for it.

It’s not like they have to worry about that though…it is only a limited run and I highly doubt they’d close earlier than January 9th when they have such a big fan base no matter who plays Jenna.

Clearly it’s going to be Britney Spears.

In all serious, it’s def Jennifer Nettles as that is a lyric from a Sugarland song.

I would really like them to just announce this already because I’m in the city today and would like to know dates and see if there are any partial view/box seats for her run lol

For a limited run, where theoretically money isn’t the main objective (how naive of me), and the show will likely sell regardless…. I’m pretty disappointed they’re opting for a stunt casting. I heard from an insider that they did *try* to get someone who would’ve pleased a lot of theater fans, but weren’t able.

Deux Moi also got a tip from someone who said Jennifer Nettles will be taking over after Sara? Maybe it's true!

That Deuxmoi "tip" was clearly a random person speculating based on yesterday's clue and the social media buzz around it, not an actual insider. That being said, it's obviously going to be her.

Oh man now I’m SO curious about who that could’ve been!! Do you think if Jennifer has a limited run they could close the run??
