Finished a DVD. Just had a telephonic conversation with Lauren, who played Joyce. I think what I'm hearing is that she had no idea she'd actually have to rehearse the show, that we'd all just somehow magically fly in and "do" it. While I'm not going to need the four weeks, I most certainly am having two full weeks, what with the fact that she'll be playing opposite someone new. So, my instinct is I'll be casting a new Joyce in NY. A shame, since Lauren is excellent in the show and it's the kind of role you don't get very often. But, she has a full-time job and that was a big problem even with the first production - and after that experience I said that I wouldn't go through not having my cast together for rehearsals - having to constantly work around people is not what I want to do or what's good for the show. The good news is, there are some wonderful actresses in NY who would probably love to do the show and the role.
