Any hints you can provide??

Anyone know if Kate and Gavin's contracts end in January as well? I hope they extend, they are absolute magic in the show

There'd be something poetic about two widows, Peters and Murphy, playing Dolly after Midler departs. Peters would be incredible in the role. It'd be such a treat to see her in it.
I'm all about Nicholas Barasch for Barnaby. I'll miss Taylor Trensch.

We'd also better get a new cast recording.

I'd love one with Donna Murphy, but who's going to foot the bill?

I thought Nicholas was amazing in She Loves Me! He'd be a good Barnaby (I too will miss Taylor. He was a standout).

Could it be Kelsey Grammer?

Mandy was my first thought. I don't know if his TV schedule would allow it, but him and Bernie together would be perfection and a very hot ticket.

Nick Barasch would make a great Barnaby! In addition to being great in She Loves Me, I totally fell in love with him in the Drood revival...particularly during the voting when it ended up being he and Chita.....just a delight.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I hope it's Bernadette and Mandy. That's been the rumor on the streets for a little while now. They'd be lovely together.

They were voted the lovers almost every night Chita was on. It's kind of a pity, because voting Rosa/John Jasper gets a funnier bit. So does Nigel and Helena, obviously.

I guess I'm one of the few who would not be particularly thrilled with this replacement.

Bernadette as Dolly alone would be an instant ticket purchase for me. Bernadette and Mandy as Dolly and Horace would be simply wonderful.

Pretty sure he's starting college in the fall.

Just got a confirmation from somebody dating somebody in the cast that it IS Bernadette.

Looks like it's actually happening! Of course, she might not, but the possibility of her doing it is high.

I'm not really excited by this. I don't like Bernadette's style at all. (Heresy, I know.)

Wow Bernadette Peters and Mandy Patinkin would be such an event. Any word on whether Murphy would continue on? Based on interviews and having seen her performance twice it seems like she is having the time of her life and like this is the perfect gig for her at this point. I'd love to see her continue with the show in the same capacity.

Didn't someone say, Bettes replacement won't get a way with doing 7 performances?

I'd really love for Bryan Cranston to play Horace opposite Bernadette's Dolly...especially since it looks like we're never getting a revival of Damn Yankees with him
i've got 99 problems and a revival of parade would solve like 94 of them

Cranston would be great!
I wonder when the rest of the cast is supposed to leave.

Yes, they could say "Come see him ruin the stage show as badly as he did the movie"

Please not Crawford. A Bernadette/Mandy reunion would be cute.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000
