Posted: 9/17/14 at 4:29pmI wonder why they haven't announced a new Berthe yet with less than a week before they'd be starting. It has to be Tovah or Priscilla, right?

Posted: 9/17/14 at 4:47pmIts probably Priscilla which is why there is no announcement yet.

Posted: 9/17/14 at 6:07pmPriscilla was probably contracted through the end of the year, but when they could get Andrea for a few weeks they bumped her, probably with pay. This is what they did to Jackie Hoffman during Xanadu. When Whoopi was brought in, I'm almost positive Jackie was still at least partially payed for taking six weeks off.

Posted: 9/18/14 at 12:22amJackie Hoffman took the time off to do promo work for her CD. She'd already had her hysterectomy. She talks about it on the CD she took time off of XANADU to promote.

Posted: 9/18/14 at 1:36pmI'm not sure that's great casting. I still wonder why they aren't announcing whether Priscilla is coming back or they have someone else coming in.

Posted: 9/18/14 at 1:46pmUh this casting for pippin sounds odd. I would think someone like Hunter Parrish or Kyle Riabko would be next in line...

MY WORD!!! Stunt casting in a Weissler show?!? That's just unheard of!
Thankfully he's in for a short stint.

Posted: 9/18/14 at 1:53pmI am done with the show. I saw Andrea last week. No more. Horrible stunt casting.

Posted: 9/18/14 at 2:01pmThis is one of the most bizarre instances of stunt casting I've seen (which is saying something). Could this guy be any more blatantly wrong for the role?
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Posted: 9/18/14 at 2:02pmJosh is an incredible vocalist and musician. But he is not an actor or even "entertainer." This is misguided.

#222Pippin cast changes
Posted: 9/18/14 at 2:10pmWell I'm happy for the 3 people in the world who will find him to be a reason to see the show.
....but the world goes 'round

Posted: 9/18/14 at 2:12pmI mean...I'd let him give me an STD. But this casting is...not right.
