I think she is cause the new Nessarose hasn't been anounced yet and i read an article about the new cast in the paper it said nothing about a new Nessa.

I think she is leaving..she has been in the cast since the opening. She must be tired of doing 8 performances a week.

I thought so at 1st but is there any proof she's really leaving???

I read on playbill that she was leaving January 8 or 9, along with David and Shoshana.

yeah...I read it on some broadway website.

plus she wrote a fan back saying she'll be gone by then so quickly send letters and such...

Yeah...i am writing her ASAP!!! I got her signature on a playbill, but I want a signed picture!

i think they would have announce that she was leaving like they did for Shoshana and David Ayers. they haven't so i think she's staying.

I heard she was going to do another show

What show?

or another project. I dunno. That's what I read. it might just be a rumour

I hope she does something new! She needs a little variety in her life. I can't imagine doing the same thing every night, eight times a week, for three years!

I like her, but it's REALLY time she left. I'm tired of hearing the same voice in the role for 3 years.......

Isn't she supposed to go be Julia Roberts u/s (or standby, I can't remember) in her new show?

Julia Roberts is in a new show? Julia grew up where I live and her mom lives at the top of my street!

That's what I heard!

OMG that's so cool!!! Anyone know what the new show is called?

ya does anyone know?

Directed by Joe Mantello, produced by Marc Platt and David Stone, I suppose they like Michelle.

I guess that's why they let her be in Wicked for the longest....

Wait...where on there does it say Michelle Federer????? i went to the website.

It's probably true....or just a rumour, they usually don't announce the standbys in the main articles anyway....they only way they get mentioned is if they must perform do to an injury to the main actor, or if they're taking over

Gah! That play looks AWESOME! If only because I adore both Bradley Cooper and Paul Rudd. :heart: Julia Roberts...eh. That's great news for Michelle, though. :-)
