Often longer running shows have cast changeovers - what are the rules about performers wanting to stay, if we assume that the producers and directors are happy with them?
Lets say in Beautiful - Katie Brayben left after so long but Lorna Want stayed virtually the whole run until she went on maternity leave. Could someone like Katie have asked to be extended given she won Olivier and it was her breakout role or might producers have decided to refreshen show?
Often a big name will only do a limited run and Producers may look to get a cheaper replacement in if show is doing decent business, so I don't count those sort of changes in this query as often a big name would be extended if they wanted to stay anyway provided finances stacked up.
