Hello :D
I know Solea has just joined the company, but I saw her confirming in an Instagram comment that in fact she won`t stay in the show for near as long as Eva. Solea confirmed to be out of the Kerr sometimes before end of March 24. I don`t have a confirmed date, just that she, as it seems, will be gone by end of March. (I also wonder, if Jordan and Solea will leave together, since I heard somewhere, that Jordan, right now, is contracted until end of Q1 24 - unless he extends. He really seems to enjoy Orpheus, and even painted his changing room - looks, like hes settling for more than 3-4 months tho).
So this raises the question: Who will follow suit?
Could we actually see Rachel Zegler take up the role and return to stage, since she has been a proven fan (and rumored to be cast in hadestown) for a long time? Any other guesses?

Eva (and Reeve) stayed with the show a lot longer than most leads, so not really a comparison to be made.
Jordan doesn't seem to like long runs, but I would imagine we'd be hearing soon if he's leaving in March.
As for Zegler, she's been rumored to be in half a dozen Bway shows. The only one I heard corroboration on was Evita (which did pre-Broadway stints in Boston and DC without her)1, but that now seems dead in the water, as it wasn't a very good production.
I think she'd be lovely in the role, but don't see her taking on a replacement role - but anything is possible.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Sure - Eva and Reeve arent exactly a good comparison, but i kinda expected Solea to stay for a year or so at least - but maybe shes already got some exciting new contracts up her sleeve.
With her name a replacement role would deem unlikely, but not completely out of reach, seeing hadestown recently trying to cast a lot of big names to ensure capacity and sales stays good. Since Bettys last show in february was announced in november already, i think we should see some kind of announcement of Soleas last show and her follow-up coming around New Year’s Day/one/two weeks after.
I`d love to see Rachel in this though, but I`m also excited, who else they might have in store.
