Waitress Potential Cast Replacements

First of all, Broadway is not a friendship organization. It's a business. The winter is often a really difficult time to sell tickets. So if it's felt that Sara will sell more tickets at a slow period than Betsy, so be it. Sara nor Betsy are stupid and understand the business. It's not sticking it to your friend.

But more importantly, since Betsy originally was cast in Carousel for a spring production, she obviously would have been done at Waitress by then anyway.... her Waitress contract would have been over. As she noted, the conflict was in the fall, not the spring.

First of all.....ok I know this I was just making a guess....

 

Second: I heard from a reliable friend that Natasha Yvette Williams is the new Becky. If this is the case, i am ESTATIC.

Maybe Sara will join again as Jenna and Betsy will be Becky. Not the first time actors have switched roles! (Judy McClane in Mamma Mia!, Bebe Neuwirth in Chicago...I’m sure there are more examples).

That sounds...not good. I have always wanted to see Sara take on Becky, though. 

 

ETA: Betsy’s final performance will be January 9th: https://twitter.com/betsywolfe/status/933203346751741952

The ticket prices jump up the week after Jason leaves so I’m assuming there will be no performances with Sara and Jason together? (If she is indeed returning). Unless he decides to extend, of course. Already have tickets for 1/7 so I should be able to see Betsy.

Ha, just posted in the other thread too. A California pop star? Could be anyone. Anyone knows if it may specifically relate to something?

Its Sara. She was born in California Which is why its a California Poppy.

I know this casting is kinda random and out of nowhere but my girlfriend mentioned how great Adam Scott from "Parks and Rec" would be as Dr Pomatter and now I cant stop thinking about it. I know it would never happen but I think it'd be a great stunt cast.

I don’t think Sara would do another “what’s inside” clue game if the answer was just that she was going back into the role.
#62

Yes, Natasha Yvette Williams was in as Becky this week. She was fantastic.

#63

Many people are speculating that the “poppy” clue is referring to Anna Kendrick, who voiced the character of Poppy on Trolls.

I can’t imagine Anna Kendrick would want to be fourth replacement in a show.

That being said, why does my mind keep going to Katy Perry

She’s going to be judging American Idol in March.

Fourth? Sara was the first replacement, Betsy was the second replacment, Anna would be the third replacement.

I heard from the same friend who told me she was the new replacement, that she had a family event all weekend. Natasha's name is on the billboard by the box office.

So you think Anna would turn it down, but Katy Perry, who just hosted the MTV Video awards, and is on a massive world wide tour, would do it? Oh okay...

I keep thinking it's Colbie Cailet - she has connections to Mraz and her voice is suitable for Jenna.

But would Colbie justify such a high ticket price, even if Mraz extends into the replacement 's run?

I keep thinking Colbie too.

No clue, but I know people though Mraz would be a dud and he's turned into quite the boost!
