It's always something with this show. I guess Book of Mormon starting stealing some of it's spotlight and they need to get back in the news.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

That's terrible. If the show has the fortune to run long enough for a replacement cast to come it, I'd think it would be hard to lure an actor in Arachne's role. The possibilities for injury in the part seem ridiculously high.

Is this now injury #5? They might as well just shut it down early.

^Exactly. Just the perfect set up to say they decided to eliminate the character completely.

I feel bad for her (she is a fairly talented singer) but I don't feel bad for the show.

Chase Brock? WOW!

I hate the way they get rid of Acne over there. Whack em with a rope, put em on in the part than throw em back in the chorus, Whip lash em, just brutal.

Ugh...and just when we thought that the other shows on Broadway are actually going to get the spotlight for a change and Spider-Man returns in the headlines yet again...

I agree with Kalimba. Don't be surprised if we never see Ms. Carpio return to the show. By the time she would ready to return, the show will shut down for an overhaul. Among the things believed to be jettisoned are possibly the character of Arachne, played by T.V. Carpio. Injury took her out, but book writers and directors might well eliminate her altogether. Wishing her well...

Poor America Olivo. She's had to play the role for a stretch twice now, likely with no real reward either time.

"She's had to play the role for a stretch twice now, likely with no real reward either time."

What does that mean? Like, she didn't get a dog treat?!

She got to perform the role. That's all the reward an actor needs.

It means she had to play the role every night when Mendoza was out while someone else was being groomed to take over it full time, and now if Carpio never returns, Olivo will either have no role at all to play or a severely cut down one.

I know she has been lucky to go on in a major role in a Broadway production, but it has to be frustrating for a performer to go on as an understudy for a long period of time under those circumstances.
