Who Will Leave Spring Awakening in November?

Posted: 7/25/07 at 11:31pm

I know Krysta's already gone and Gideon's on the way out, but the time to watch for the cast changes is November since that's when most of the contracts are up. Who do you think will walk away? I say Remy Zaken and Lilli Cooper, maybe Skylar Astin, too. And, if the Elphaba rumors turn out to be true, Lea will already be gone. But I really can't see her leaving so soon.

Just as long as Groff and Gallagher stay. I'm seeing the show in December and I really hope they are still there.

I see Christine Estabrook and Jonathan B. Wright leaving. I love them both, but their attendance hasn't been stellar. Christine probably wants to get back to Hollywood anyway, and make more money for less consuming work.

Well, there's the whole Elphaba debate, and if she actually does that it would be probably in like October, but I think her contract is up in November. She's been doing the show for seven years, so I can't really see her leaving after less than a year on Broadway. Her, Jonathan, and Gallagher are most likely gonna stay.

Lea, Gallagher, Groff, and Lauren Pritchard are all in negotiations to stay past November.

Lauren's gonna stay without Skylar? *ooooOOOOoooo* Just kidding. How totally awkward will it be if they break up before either of them leaves the show? They'll have to see eachother every day!

True-I spoke to JGallagher last week. He is in negotiations. He didn't mention anyone else, he said he would love to stay. JBW did mention that a few of them have some other prospects that they are looking into. Lauren commented, they would all love to stay, but they have to pursue other opportunities if they are available. The show is HOT right now, so grab the brass ring while you can. Got Tix for 8/25-I am sure it will be an emotional night for Gideon. This is a family and slowly, people are leaving. It has to hurt.
