With charity and Jeremy leaving for the tour (I think today?) is there any knowledge of who will be replacing them?
The tour kicks off in October. I have no idea if Charity and Jeremy are leaving today, but Jeremy did say on Waitress' Instagram Story that he would post updates about the tour. I assume their replacements will probably be announced next month?
What are the chances of Keala coming back?
Jeremy I know for sure is leaving today, I'm assuming Charity, Larry and Joe as well but I could be wrong. I'm thinking Anastasia will be promoted to a full time Becky just as Charity was? Brandon Kalm (American psycho) is replacing Henry next week I believe.

I was at the show today and only Jeremy got a curtain call goodbye - Drew Gehling gave a little speech and then the whole cast had an adorable group hug. Charity and Larry were in, so I think no one else has left yet!

Charity posted she is leaving next weekend, swing Henry Gottfried also posted he is leaving next weekend (but not for the tour). The current two kids Cate and Ella are both leaving next weekend after being here for a full year as well..at age 6 they will be too old..LOL. No idea when Larry as Joe or cast ensemble member Law are leaving..they haven't posted anything about it.
New Becky and new swing for Henry Gottfied arriving soon. Names not announced yet.

I knew "Brandon" was taking over..but I didn't know his last name so that would have been stupid to post..So thank you..LOL. But I don't think the show has officially announced this yet. Maybe tomorrow?

So excited. Will returns on the 12th. The day I'm seeing the show!

Crap. I just got off a flight and saw this on my layover. I needed to read it closer. I don't see the show until November 12th. I'd love to see Will, but I'll just be happy if the show is still playing.

While it has slipped a bit in recent weeks (though most shows have given that it's nearing the end of the summer), they are running in the black and display no real reason to fold up just before the holiday season.

Great! I have some backup shows in mind in case it closes. Hope it doesn't come to that. I have a front row Orchestra Center aisle seat for this, my sixth (and final) show of my trip.

Ugh, get out of here with Will returning. He was absolutely terrible and laughable in this role. Want to catch Betsy and Joe so looks like I'll have to go soon.
Given that they've not posted a leaving date, I feel it's safe to assume Will will still be in the show when I'm in New York a month later which is my first bit of exciting show/casting news since I decided this trip needed to happen!
Brandon made his debut tonight. https://twitter.com/BrandonKalm/status/902645097417900032

Is there any news on who the new Becky is? Or are we going to have to wait til tomorrow when the show starts to find out
Since Betsy is bound to leave for carousel. Any ideas when she's leaving and who will replace her?
I think she will leave perhaps in the beginning of January (since that would be 6 months which from what I understand, she signed on for) Then I can see a big name coming in, or Sara..or perhaps it'll close but I hope not
