This could totally be wrong, but I did hear someone mention the Eugene O'Neill and November in the same sentence. Again, could be extremely wrong, it was just me eavesdropping.

No, its true. I heard it a while ago, and Wayman Wong who is a solid reporter, also confirms it on the ATC message board. Eugene O'Neil Theatre - previews Thanksgiving, opening December.

The two young leads will stay with the show. LES MIZ will need to find a new Eponine...

Can't wait! It's really turning out to be an exciting season. I'm interested in seeing who replaces her in Les Miz

Isnt Lea Michelle contracted to Miz? How is she going to get out of it?

So is High Fidelity gonna take one of the theaters of flop (Belasco/Longacre)? Are they hoping Wedding Singer or Dirty Rotten will close? Maybe they should push back their dates.

I'm sure that the producers of LES MIZ recognize the golden opportunity Michele has in creating a starring role in a new Broadway musical. Eponine is a role that is easily recast.

This far in advance, they'd likely have an out in that contract anyway.
