She was supossed to leave on July 4 ( I think ) but she decided to stay at least until Nov. ( I'm going to see Wicked in Oct. and she's going to be in it then )

No, she extended her contract (as well as Joel Grey) until 1/2/05...so you have plenty of time to see her.

she was never leaving july 4...and yes, 1/2/05 will be her final performance (as far as we know, that could change) All I know is that I got my ticket...BB seat 5

Kristin, I believe, if July 18. That's also the last performance of Norbert Butz. I could be wrong, though.

Idina has extended her contract through Jan 2005, as well as Joey Grey. As of now no official departure date has been set.

Kristin and Norbert's last performance is July 18.

Ahhh just reliving the memories of people's anxieties of trying to see all three leads at once

Does this set the record for the longest dormant thread being bumped?

It’s posts like these that emphasise the importance of BWW of a historical archive and why it’s so scandalous that ATC posts are deleted. Reddit isn’t old enough. 
 

Imagine if we could go back and read comments and word of mouth of Ethel Merman in Gypsy? With BWW we can do this for shows within the time window we have data for. 

I sincerely hope the owners of this website appreciate this historical significance and I think if the website was ever at risk of closing they would export the database and donate to academic theatrical institutions. I’m sure they can find SOME value in it.

genuine question for those who remember...in the thread above, it mentions Joel Grey extending with Idina. However, I believe the July 18th performance as Norbert and Kristin's last performance was also Joel's final. I remember seeing the bootleg, and Sean McCourt was the Wizard for a while. Anyone know what happened?

Bronchitis. 90% sure he didn't return to the show after this.

I was surprised when he was announced for Anything Goes years later, although there didn't seem to be any issues there so he obviously recovered.

I'm impressed somebody was even able to find a 20 year old thread on here given its crummy search functionality.
