Did they shoot this as a promo or something? I think Sara is back, and I’m ok with it :)

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."
Natasha is the new Becky. She started 11/22 but had some unexpected family obligations, hence why Anastacia has been on for the past few performances. She will be back this week. Her contract is through the end of February.

Raising ticket prices preemptively means nothing, really. If that person's fan base buys the higher-priced tickets, awesome. If they don't sell them all at that price, they bring them down again. There's no downside.

From what I understand, she was temporary from the get go, and has (or will be) gone back to Book if Mormon.

INTERESTING.
It very well could be Anna.....Maybe Sara will be joining for the week between Betsy and Anna??
#84Waitress Potential Cast Replacements
Posted: 11/27/17 at 4:19pmI think everyone is overthinking it. I mean if sara was in the park with jason in coustume signing then it probally is her coming back.

Yeah, I find it hard to believe that they'd sing in costume in the freezing cold just to throw people off.

That was the first thing to pop up when searching for "Sara Bareilles Betty White." Hmm...

Just a thought in relations to the two clues given by Sara....How about "Poppy" for Dawn? She is on the younger side to play Jenna, but would (if you stretch it) fit the Dawn criteria.
Clue 1: Californian Poppy,
Clue 2: Rose from GG. (Poppy AKA Moriah Rose Pereira)
Poppy (singer)

Posted: 11/27/17 at 5:23pmI have never heard of this Poppy person before but most likely it is her. Seems kind of unnecessary though to stuntcast Dawn if Sara is also returning. Unless she will actually play Jenna?
#88Waitress Potential Cast Replacements

Poppy will be 23 in January. That's probably a good age for Dawn (if a touch young) but way too young for Jenna.

Never mind, I just watched the hint. That is a great observation!

The high prices only last until 2/25. It's probably Sara, considering the promo in the park with Jason. Something to note, Jessica Vosk's 54 and Below show is 2/1-2/3. JUST enough time to get in rehearsals and start 2/27, plus her recent cover of She Used to Be Mine, and internet popularity could keep the show aloft, for now, and Jackie Burns has at least a 12 month contract with Wicked, so Jess won't be finding work there anytime soon.

I'm pretty certain it's Sara re-joining the cast.
1. The promo video
2. She's from CA
3. She really likes The Golden Girls and has their candles

Just seems a bit off that Sara's big reveal is going to be... herself?

Hmm Anna Kendrick just put this on her IG:

I gotta give them credit. These clues are a lot more elusive than the painfully obvious Jason Mraz ones. We're really struggling here!
#95Waitress Potential Cast Replacements
Posted: 11/27/17 at 7:17pm
It is Sara. Poison, people have posted that already. Sure it isn’t painfully obvious it’s Sara, but you can very easily connect the dots. Also, whatever Jason and Sara were shooting together was obviously in relation to this. Also interesting to note that the tickets for that month have been taken offsale and an American Express presale starts Wednesday.

Sara is definitely coming back but what I find interesting is the potential double meaning of the clues so far pertaining to possibly both Sara AND Anna...
California Poppy - Sara's from California, Anna played Poppy in Trolls
Betty White Candle - It's Sara's candle as she loves Betty White, Anna has publicly stated wanting to be like the next Betty White.
Maybe Jason will extend til the end of January so he has a few weeks with Sara then Anna joins as Jenna in February?

Or maybe it will be Anna and Sara? Maybe Anna doesn’t want to do the full 8 performances a week thing, so maybe Sara would be willing to be a one or two performances a week alternate (Like Hello Dolly having a high profile alternate). Maybe this could explain why the clues seem to fit the both of them.

Next clue is up. https://www.facebook.com/sarabareilles/videos/10154825358451432/
Apron & pregnancy test. Pretty sure all this means is that it's the new Jenna (SHOCKER) but facebook comments seem more convinced it's Anna Kendrick or Sara again so... here we go again.
