Well Angela was only suppose to be with the show until April 25th, and since she won't be performing for her "final performance", it is safe to assume that she extended.

She was only contracted though April 4th. It looks like they're giving her a nice vacation, and then she will return.
Thank God!

Good news. I am hoping to see this when I visit New York this summer. And if she was no longer with the show I would be very disappointed.

As others surmised, this was part of the plan all along. A friend who is a Tony voter didnt see it in January when they invited the voters and when she checked with the show's management, she was assured already a few weeks ago that all of the original cast would still be there in May when they will re-invite voters.

Wow... then I do have a chance to see Ms. Lansbury when I go to NYC in early June. Let's see: "Looped" (hopefully), "Addams Family", "La Cage" and now "ALNM". A subsitute play: I'd love to see "Boys in the Band." RC in Austin, Texas... looking forward to seeing Miss Patti in her show on March 25th.

GIVING her a vacation? I'm fairly certain she EARNED it.

But good news for those that haven't yet seen her!

Aww! I already took time off from April 12-19 to plan my NY trip, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go (my first time to NY) was to see AL and CZJ in ALNM! This just totally ruins all my plans as I can't take the week before off, and my sister wanted to see the Tim Burton exhibit at MoMA, so we can't go later than April.

^ Plus if it wins best revival, I just cannot see it closing a week after the Tonys.
Is there still talk of Catherine returning in the Fall?
