Something weird on TicketMaster. All the shows starting in December seem to have sold out. Price hike coming?

I was on Ticketmaster on my phone and nothing seemed out of the ordinary?

Just checked on desktop and nothing seemed out of the ordinary...only difference I noted was the discount codes didn't work anymore, but I think that they were always set to expire after Jordin's run.

Yes, none of the discount codes worked for December, for months those dates have been quite high. It is one of the few shows with a Friday matinee the week of Xmas, and prices for that date have been high for months.

Sara has a concert on December 14. Not sure what this would mean if there’s the possibility of her closing out the show.

Just dreaming, but I hope during the last month/week they bring in each Jenna and give them their own week/performance, with Jessie closing out the show. I know, I know. It would be logistical nightmare, but how beautiful would it be if they got to showcase all the actresses who played Jenna? It would kind of be like a Jenna Roulette and you never know who you’ll get.

The concert is early enough and it's a short set, she would have plenty of time to make it back for an 8 PM performance.  IMO.

Jorge, I was thinking the exact same thing! That would truly be going out with a bang, and it would be incredible to see all of the wonderfully different Jenna interpretations one last time...

I’m sorry, I know someone who will not let go of the idea that all Jennas will come back and perform a la A Chorus Line and I find it completely ridiculous. That was one show, one time. When Cats closed did they bring back everyone who played Grizibella (I haven’t seen the show, that’s the only name I know)? I just don’t understand this logic. There will be one actress who performs the final show.

Oh, I fully understand it will not happen. I just said that it would have been cool to see. I know these things do not happen often/at all.

Super pumped that Christopher Fitzgerald and Drew Gehling are closing out the show, two of the OBC. I think the idea of Jessie coming back would be incredible. She is still my favorite Jenna. I know its not gonna happen but it’s a dream. I’m almost positive Sara will be the final Jenna. Whoever it is I’m sure it will end on a bang.

It would be a full day for Bareilles, but it doesn't seem impossible as it's just a few blocks down. I'm really curious as I'm thinking of getting a ticket for that matinee and would die to see her in the role again. And like people have mentioned before, her tour ends pretty well with Sparks leaving. Then again you would think they would want to announce this as soon as they could to fill out those seats for the last month.

Wouldn't be unprecedented to have Stephanie Torns go on that night if it is Sara and she feels the pre-existing commitment shouldn't be jeopardized.

It’s not a concert at all. It’s the old Prarie Home Companion radio variety show that’s now hosted by Chris Thile. It’s very possible for her to drop by, do a song or two and still do both shows.

I have a feeling Stephanie will...most...likely....? have some time In between Jordin's final performance and whenever the final Jenna takes over.

It looks baked in that Stephanie will perform Thanksgiving week with the new Jenna taking over in December.

I saw this in a Facebook group....interesting. Would she straight up lie?

BAD NEWS...Sara's tour was in Phoenix tonight, and I was one of the nutty ones that was waiting by the buses after. After two hours, she came out and signed and whatever for those of us left. I straight up asked Sara if she was coming back to Waitress and she said "No. I wouldn't do that." I said something like maybe if you were, you wouldn't tell me, And exact quote Sara said"I wouldn't lie to you" looking right at me, dead serious.


I believe Sara. Anyone else? Any theories on who could close them?

Katharine McPhee? Yikes I hope not. Love her as a performer but absolutely not a fan of her Jenna. She’s too boring. Too safe. You wouldn’t think they’d bring her back especially after her lukewarm reception as Jenna in London....

Do you know??! 

 Would they bring back Katharine? Hmmm. I'm so curious now! This is very interesting.
