Nemo musical: bye bye Alison, Michael, Vanessa, etc
I hadn't been back to the Nemo musical in months and was in withdrawals. I made it back this weekend to see essentially a whole new cast (thank goodness we caught V. still playing Crush!)
I really miss Alison and Vanessa as Nemo. Apparently, Alison's last day was earlier this week, and she's left Florida. Michael, one of the Bruce actors, quit a few months ago and I didn't even realize it. He'll be missed, too.
Some of the opening-months cast was apparently "on loan" from New York from the beginning, so it's no wonder a few of them have been gone for some time. They had some really great voices, and great timing.
There are still some really strong performers in the Nemo musical, but there are also some new folks who haven't yet gotten the full comedic timing. It'll come. In the meantime, I'm very slightly in mourning for the dazzling show we got in those first few months.

This is sad to hear. But as great as the opening cast was, I think it's the story and how it's told that makes the show great.
Hey, now that the equity players are gone can we take photos? The fact that I can take photos of the show is one of the big reasons I haven't been back to see it in a long while.
I was at couple of the first few shows and loved it. I'm sure that the new cast members will be up to speed in no time and be wowing the audience.

I'll miss a lot of them too. Don't forget that Mr. Ray is still there too! Til September, I guess.
I am glad that the new cast is good, but it's still hard to not compare them to the opening crew.
