Natalie Cortez will continue in the role of Anita for the remainder of the Broadway run (Karen Olivo will not return per doctor's orders)
Wow, that is really upsetting.
Oh a interesting note: The revival will have out run the original production by just 16 performances.

I thought Next to Normal would have announced before them.
For those who thought NEXT TO NORMAL wouldn't have a life outside Broadway, well it's now playing in 4 cities, 9 different countries and has been translated into 6 languages.

yeah natalie cortez was telling me she has taken over the role for good about 3 days ago.... its sad wouldve loved to see Olivo, but Cortez was pretty awesome as Anita.

Posted: 9/15/10 at 5:58pmThe Great White Way Report's Facebook status talks about them at the Priscilla press event right now. How coincidental that WSS's closing went up right now and Priscilla will announce their theatre tonight!

Posted: 9/15/10 at 6:00pmSad news, but the show had a very good run. Too bad that Karen won't be returning.

Posted: 9/15/10 at 6:17pmLet's hope the next revival will restore the beauty and dramatic power of Jerome Robbins's glorious choreography.

Darn, I actually enjoyed this production, even thought it wasn't super super amazing. I need to get to the Palace sometime soon!

Posted: 9/15/10 at 6:50pmIt had a great run. It really is too bad Karen Olivo can't return.

Posted: 9/15/10 at 7:19pmNot my favorite production, but congrats to everyone involved on a great run.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
