Her recent comments about the political situation in the US lead me to believe she’s not in a rush to come back. I wouldn’t be surprised if she stays through March 30th.
I know I've said it earlier in the thread, but I would be shocked if this production transfers without LuPone. Her reviews and status in the [American] musical theater world alone would be reason enough, but given her history, I'd be really surprised if she didn't have a contract that guaranteed she would come to Broadway with the show. (Not to mention that Marianne Elliot kept pushing her to join the show even after LuPone said no. Elliot REALLY wanted to work with her, and I can
I don't even know if it's just that Bernadette is a private person, because for as open and honest as she is about her professional life, Patti talks relatively little about her personal life.
And to poisonivy's question about whether Lin-Manuel Miranda, Kelli O'Hara or Donna Murphy are authentic and honest even if they don't share their negative opinions, I do think some of them are. I think that Donna Murphy seems like a down-to-earth person whose statements

I love her. I think she’s brilliant and sassy and right and brave. I want to go to dinner with her and hear her talk for hours.
Well Patti also said in an interview about a month ago that she has a play in the pipeline after Company, but didn't give any specifics on what or where.
qolbinau said: "To be honest, in the 21st century Company makes more sense for an attractive woman to play the role for me - at least based on my observations of how dating works for them. They have so much power over men they can get anyone they want at the drop of a finger - especially for casual flings. And reaching early mid 30s definitely comes a time where people do think about settling down.
Laura Benanti would be near the top of the list for me. Sutton Foster? No t

I would actually just love to see Rosalie Craig, who has been involved with this production since the first workshop, reprise her role in New York.
I really wish I could be fiscally irresponsible and go to London for this! I'm hoping for a filmed version, though.

I remember when we were using ship as a verb back in the early days of Harry Potter fandom, pre-2000.
The trend that I find interesting and that I’ve seen a lot is the insistence that everyone is gay, even if they’ve never publicly said so (and even if they are involved in a heterosexual relationship). It doesn’t surprise me that this harassment stemmed from that belief.

Everything about Benanti’s claim smells fishy to me."
Did it occur to you that maybe, just maybe, after enduring a miscarriage just a couple years
Why is this the first time Benanti has shared the story that she didn't even audition the first time around? Instead she said that they told her "hard pass," which to me implies that she did audition. There is certainly no shame in her passing on the role to stay home with her daughter OR in her not getting the role after auditioning.

The War Paint/Patti LuPone and Christine Ebersole fans who write fanfic about them basically ruined being a fan of either one on certain online platforms. Does that count?
I can't be the only one who thinks that the producers did an atrocious job handling this situation, right? There was no clarity about whether Miles was actually coming back, leading many critics to incorrectly report that they saw her, and leaving Naoko Mori without the true credit she deserved. I understand the producers didn't want to tell Miles not to do the show, but couldn't they have...been a little clearer about the fact that she has not been in the show yet?

P.S. Kitchen is FANTASTIC. I would definitely recommend stopping there.
^ then my timing for choosing yesterday for a return visit to the show was excellent.
Also, both Norbert Leo Butz and Linda Mugleston were out for yesterday's performance. Butz' understudy Joe Hart was a fantastic Alfred Doolittle, and came across as a little more menacing than Butz did. I told my friends afterwards that I felt a little bit like Hart's Doolittle has killed a man and would do it again. Liz McCartney was on as Mrs. Pearce and she was fine.
