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.
But more importantly, if Betsy had any planof being inCarousel in the spring, she obviously would have been done at Waitress by then anywayso her Waitress contract would have been over regardless. 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.

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

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.

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.

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