Will Jessie Mueller still be in Waitress in November?

Anyone know, I'm planning a trip middle of November to NYC and would love to see Mueller in it.

 

P.S. I know how annoying these threads are, at least it's not asking about who are next Angelica will be.

Normal contract length is a year. Now you can figure out the rest

Guaranteed at least a year.

as of pretty recently it's actually only 6 months, I don't know if that was in place when Jessie and cast signed on for Waitress. Either way I'm sure she'll stick around

Don't some contracts start when they begin the tryout? So the year would have begun last August when waitress was at art. I don't know of that is the case for Jessie though.

Nope. Contracts are almost always (in fact, in my experience, always) renegotiated when a show transfers. It's possible if a show transfers with its cast directly that some actors may not want to commit the full standard 12 months, meaning the newly negotiated contracts could be shorter.
