So, Ciara posted on twitter along with Ariana that Ariana Debose is going on for the LP today! so can someone please tell me how she is if you are going? Thanks!!
Can somebody PLEASE let Molly Tynes go on?! The poor girl has been second cover for LP since opening night, and to my knowledge has never actually gone on.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
I saw Ariana Debose this afternoon! Thought she was great! Could've been more threatening as the leading player in my opinion, but overall a good performance.
and Bethany Moore's last performance was Sunday. Kristen Beth Williams is now in her track.

also Orion, and richard are back to the show and Molly's last show is the 17th. I would imagine Colin, Andrew and Anthony will be leaving soon especially Anthony because he is in his new off Broadway show!
FYI, DeBose has been on as the Leading Player since Thursday. I wonder if Ciara is sick or injured.

It would be nice if the let Molly Tynes go on as LP tomorrow if Ciara is still out. Tynes is scheduled to leave the show on Aug. 17.

I thought Ariana was pretty wonderful this afternoon - she did some impressive riffs during Glory and On the Right Track, and she is a great dancer. She said it was her fourth show as the LP at the stagedoor. I did prefer Patina Miller's colder, more calculated portrayal though. It is Anthony Wayne's last show tomorrow. He said at the SD that he wrote a new musical that's premiering Off Broadway.

I've seen Sam Lips in a few things since he was at U of M, through regional, and now broadway and he really is developing very nicely. He's a role or two away from being a leading man. Though I'm not a huge fan of Wicked, I could see him as Fiyero.
And Erik's Pippin is really, really well done. If you get a chance to see him, it's great.

I like sabrina in the role! It's good thats she's doing the tour. Both play the role identical but Sabrina is younger so she sounds like a younger person than Charlotte and that goes the same also with Molly.
I saw Ariana at the Saturday matinee and I was impressed. I find her accent and verbal flourishes to be much more believable than Patina's, which seemed forced. (I'm not saying that Patina was forced, but that she made the Leading Player sound forced.) The Leading Player shouldn't be so on edge with Pippin immediately, IMHO.
I really liked her reaction when she was holding the hoop and the Player running through it bumped the side. "He bobbled; we're doing that again."
Apparently Ariana is on as the Leading Player tonight, along with Erik Altemus as Pippin and Sam Lips announced earlier he was on in the Manson Trio, although now that Altemus is on Lips could end up on as Lewis.
