premature exits

Why are all of these people leaving 'their' shows so early? Kristin, Hugh, and Hunter (ewww Joey Fatone) They haven't even been in them for a year and already they're gone (or will be soon)

Hugh would have done a year when he finishes up his run September 12th -- hardly what I would call "early."

Yea, Hugh will be in OZ for a year....thats not an early exit

As far as Hugh is concerned, when you add in the rehearsal time and the previews, which started September 16, I would say he's put in his year...especially given the fact that he seems to give 120% in every performance.

All three of the actors you mention will have been with their shows at least a year once rehearsals and in the cases of Wicked and Little Shop, out of town engagements are factored in.

A year in a show is a healthy amount of time and it is better to leave while you're looking good rather than pulling out a performance like a wisdom tooth.

With all respect, Hunter and Kristen are not big stars, but Hugh Jackman, post X Men, certainly is and for him to give a show a year is a big deal. I hope he plays LA with it so "they" can see what he can do.
