Tonight, Adele Dazeem appears on Broadway, as she’ll play Elizabeth in a preview performance of If/Then, the new musical by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey. At least that’s what the Twitter feed of If/Then swing performer Janet Krupin suggests, as Krupin posted a photo of an apparent program insert announcing Dazeem’s appearance, along with a bio that looks a lot like (but just slightly different from) that of regular If/Then star Idina Menzel. (No word on whether this will actually appear in programs at tonight’s show.) Boy, do I wish I’d seen Dazeem in the original Broadway production of Nert.
Update, March 5: The If/Then press office has emailed a response, breaking our hearts: “We have not changed the playbill, nor have we put an insert in. Previews begin tonight, so there was nothing passed out at the theatre yesterday. It was a joke by someone, though not from the production.”
