THANK YOU!!! When I saw this press release I thought the same thing!
I adore Darlesia Cearcy. I think here Erzulie is a gift to the audience, I am just wondering if she gave notice or they bought her out?? Just weird for that role to be considered a "starring role." Michelle is only going to help close it in January. I love this show and think it is basically genius and they have kept away from all the stunts to sell tickets and the lasted nearly a year...but now stunt casting with forgotten member of Destiny's Child....really?? I am let down by this. (Just my opinion) Was this a Davenport move?
I just did a backstage tour at the National Theatre in the UK where Hadestown is set to open and the set pieces are about 30 feet high. So, almost certainly not Circle in the Square for H-Town.
I was underwhelmed by this production, but I’m glad whenever others find shows that resonate with them even if they don’t work for me. Still, even if Williams boosts box office, I doubt it’ll be boosted by more than the likely larger paycheck than she’s getting to replace Cearcy.
