According to the revised Equity Principal Auditions at playbill.com, first rehearsal is now (as of June 22) on July 15 (waiting for the chitter-chatters on ATC to get a hold of this!)
auditions (revised) listing
(And for goodness sakes, just double-cast Bernadete as both Sally and Hattie--she already knows how to sing Broadway Baby! in a "Strong, brassy belt voice with very solid low range.")

This sure is getting confusing. Though starting rehearsals on a Tuesday (July 5th or 12) makes more sense that a Friday (the 15th). Thanks for all the updates, Jean.
