So sad. Just finding it odd that they're having Nielsen take over for Martin and are bringing in Julie White to take Nielsen's role. Why not just have White take over for Martin?

I guess she is getting on in years, poor thing.

Andrea is 72 and she looks damn good. This news was certainly surprising, but she's keeping her typical good humor...and I hope she recovers fast. One of my all-time faves

Andrea Martin is a god damn national treasure and I am beyond bummed out she is out of this production.
Get well Ms Martin

Likely because Nielsen has been in rehearsals and already has a feel for the show and the director's focus for the piece. Better to move up someone into the larger role that has a feel for it, likely has been seeing what Martin and the director have created for the character and replace the smaller role with someone new to it all rather then bringing them in for the bigger role and starting at square one with them when time is limited.

Terrible thing, hope she recovers with no issues!
I'm wondering what exactly happens in Gary to have someone break their ribs though...that's crazy.
