Elizabeth Stanley who was playing Dyanne in Million Dollar Quartet is doing an Off-Broadway show right now.However, the official website says that she is still playing Dyanne and there was no announcement of her replacement. http://www.milliondollarquartetlive.com/broadway-cast.html

Are the two understudies Victoria Matlock and Nicolette Hart sharing the role right now?

As far as I know, Stanley is still doing the matinees. I believe Matlock is doing the evening performances, with Hart just brought in as a temporary cover while the switch is going on.

Stanley is doing the matinees? Very cool.

She WAS doing matinees up until 3/13. Along with Levi Kreis, the 13th was her last day. As far as I know, Victoria Matlock has taken over the role full-time.

According to playbill.com, Victoria Matlock has taken over the role full-time. Nicolette Hart is listed as the understudy.

^ Is this on her bio at playbill.com because I don't see it anywhere else on the website.

Here's an article announcing Victoria and Erik Hayden being promoted to full-time.

Yay for Victoria! Maybe I'll try to catch the show sometime now. (No intention of disrespect to Stanley.)

I saw both Victoria and Elizabeth and even though it's a very, very small role, Victoria was miles better. She just fit the role much better.

I think this role and Cindy Lou in "The Marvelous Wonderettes" are much better fo her than Elphaba. Her Elphaba had very little character and she always had trouble keeping up with the melody when she sang those songs.

I do think Victoria is great in other roles, but I think Taylor Swift is more consistant at singing live in concerts and award shows than Vicotria was at singing Stephen Schwartz's songs every night. This is coming from a big Taylor Swift fan.

Are you sure that's up to date because it still lists Levi in the cast and he has left.

They just upped Victoria to full time last month why would they make that announcement if Elizabeth was coming back? Makes no sense - the website is not right.

I also assumed this because Elizabeth was at the 1 Year Anniversery, but she maybe she was only there to celebrate.

Playbill lists Victoria Matlock (see below).

I'll be in the neighborhood this afternoon, so I'll check the lobby board.

How is this show? The only things I know about it are from the official website and I don't know anyone else who has seen it. I was thinking of seeing it tomorrow possibly.

Its terrible in my opinion. Had there been an intermission I probably would have left. Nothing happens, it has a horrible book and terrible direction.

Thanks! That's what I needed to know.

Elizabeth Stanley is not listed as a member of the company, per the board in the lobby. Victoria Matlock and Nicolette Hart are, however.

Thanks for posting this. I debated on seeing it next weekend since it's up for 50% on TKTS. I thought something was fishing that the site listed so many of the OBC still in the show. Now I know I don't have to bother! :)
