When? I HAVE to go for his final performance...

Christ, if there was any one particular actor I didn't want to see go, it was Esper. He embodies Will. Seriously. I listen to Longview now, and I picture Esper sitting on that couch in the musical. I saw Van go on for him once, and hated it. I want to cry.

Not listening to his version of Give Me Novacaine and tearing up a bit or anything...

:cry:

Because she's blonde and small? This show doesn't have set requirements in terms of look for characters. Whatsername doesn't have to be African-American, hence Leslie. Favorite Son doesn't have to be African-American, hence Ben and Andrew. Heather doesn't have to be blonde, hence Leslie.

If Alexis can sing and dance and have the stamina to do that eight times a week, then maybe she'll work but to say she'll get it because of her look, that's pushing it.

Esper leaves in January. Exact date to be determined. I'll pass word if I hear before it's officially announced.

Thank you. I really want to go to his final performance, so the more ahead of time I know, the better chance I'll have of being able to take the day off to make it.

So, I watched the audition video you posted, and I don't see it. She looks a bit like Mary, yeah. But the voice? Yeah, the girl has an incredible voice, but I can't hear that voice on Heather's parts.

GAAAAAHHHH!!!!!! :cry:

Seconded. :cry:

Contracts for the leads are up in January. As far as I know, Esper is definitely not extending. He is said to have another project lined up, which starts in March, if I remember correctly. Then again, crazy things have happened before (re: when Gallagher was suppose to leave Spring Awakening...) so things might change.

I saw the show last night, Van was in for John. He did a good job. Aspen was on for Alysha, and she was pretty good, too. I will miss Michael when he leaves. No one stuffs a rag into his pants like he does. :(

Damn... Van is on for Johnny and Declan is making his debut as Will. Lucky for anyone who's going tonight.

Heh... did you get a free ticket from Idiot Nation yesterday? But yeah, I'm so sad that I left NY yesterday. But this week has been insane with understudies.

Sunday: Ben!Tunny, Christina!Whatsername, Libby!ExtraordinaryGirl, Corbin!Alysha, Kobak!Ben

Tuesday: Corbin!Whatsername, Lorin!Alysha, Omar!Ben

Wednesday: Van!Johnny, Aspen!Alysha, Omar!Declan

Thursday: Van!Johnny, Dec!Will, Aspen!Alysha, Kobak!Declan

I wonder what this weekend will bring. *crosses fingers for Chase!Johnny*

I'm kinda sad for Johnny since he expressed trying to not call out but alas he had to. :( On Tuesday, he was wandering in the rain after the show without an umbrella, trying to catch a cab. Esper's been fighting sickness for a while; Declan almost went on this past weekend for Will.

a few more alexis videos

Sorry. Nope. Still can't see her as Heather. Vocally, she sings a whole different style than Heather's songs. I could see her do Alysha's track, but not Heather. Also, she would look quite young next to Esper. Heh... 12 years age difference. LOL.

Jeeze. All of them are getting sick. Makes me wanna find them and give them hugs. And lots of soup. :P

I hope if Johnny's not extending his last day will be announced in advance. I really want to go to his last show. :cry:

The new Heather has already been cast. She starts rehearsals at the end of this month. And no, she's not a former American Idol contestant. :happy:

Just about to say that. All I can say, thank God. Apparently, she's adorable and British.

So can you quit it with the Alexis spam, jet?

All my best wishes to Mary for success in her next role...and an early welcome aboard to Jeanna! Looking forward to seeing her performance in January -- and glad that she'll have a few weeks to settle into her role as Heather before then. :)

Edit: This chick's got some pipes!! http://www.jeannadewaal.com/Jeanna_de_Waal%21/My_Music.html

Cool news about the new Heather! She definitely has that "Heather look" if there is one. :lol:

I see from her resume that she was in We Will Rock You most recently. Michael, I couldn't play your link with her voice and it made my computer go all wonky, but I look forward to hearing her and seeing what everyone thinks of her in the role soon.
