[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought they should have given the role to Julie Benko. Lea is too polarizing.[/quote]

Julie Benko is amazing in the role and IA, but she doesn't have the name recognition that Lea Michele has. The show thought they were getting that with Beanie but, yeah. The show is bleeding money and from what my insider friend told me, would be lucky to make it to the end of Beanie's run when her final date was announced as September. Attendance has been below 60% and they haven't been in the black at all.

Just the leak about Lea Michele taking over caused ticket sales for post-September 6 to surge and once the official announcement came out, they surged even more. I looked at tickets for September 6 when it was just a rumor and they were still in the $69 range. Once it was announced, $500 was the cheapest I saw. [/quote]

Interesting! Did your insider friend mention the real reason Jane left before Lea came on? Did Beanie really have tonsillitis?[/quote]
