Hopefully they find a big name for a replacement. Leigh Ann Larkin deserves to keep working.

I'm really intrigued as to the future of the show, though I honestly don't see it winning Best Revival. Now, what if Catherine wins the Tony? It'd be a shame for them to close the show so quickly after the award ceremony. It'd be great if they found a top notch actress to replace her during the summer...they're gonna want to get someone big to take advantage of the season.

I think if they find suitable replacements, they will try to keep the show running for a while. There is no reason the show should end on June 20th. This production was NOT mounted/transferred for Catherine and Angela. It's not like LuPone's Gypsy. Nunn originally wanted a younger Madame (like London's Maureen Lipman). But once the opportunity to have Angela arrived, who could say no? And Catherine was an extremely late addition to the cast, as we all remember. And let's not forget that the producers and Nunn had hoped to transfer this production with Natasha Richardson and Vanessa Redgrave on Broadway. So it's not like this is THEIR (Angela and Catherine) production. If they can find suitable replacements, the production should continue.

This may have been posted already, but "A Little Night Music" is now selling tickets through August 29th and their website says "Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury will be appearing through June 20th. New cast members to be announced."

^ Wow! So exciting. I knew they wouldn't close this on June 20th.

That would have been an extraordinary production - Natasha and her Mom.

Does anyone else think Zeta Jones and Ms Lansbury will extend as well till August?
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Nope. Catherine wants the summer off with her kids. Though I wouldn't be surprised if she (and maybe Angela) returned in the Fall.

Maybe Michael Douglas could replace Angela.
