Mandy Gonzalez's final performance will be Sunday, January 24 at 7pm, and Robin de Jesús' final performance will be Sunday, February 14 at 7pm.

Um, Mandy's been telling everyone on her Twitter (including her current status) that her last show is Jan 31st.

Hmmm. I wonder when Mandy's actual final show is?

I am excited to see Janet as Nina. How cool for her to go from an okay featured role to the lead female.

I haven't seen In The Heights in over a year...maybe this is a reason for me to revisit.

I wonder if she had to change the date of her final performance to acommodate her next project?

I was also told that Mandy's final performance was the 31st of January. Take it for what its worth but I had messaged Mandy about her last show on Facebook on a whim hoping to hear from her (if it actually is her) and she had said her last show was 7pm on the 31st.

edit: I just looked at the article again and they changed the typo to the 31st of January. Updated On: 1/19/10 at 12:12 PM

Very exciting news. I definitely need to see the show again with Janet as Nina. I feel like it's gonna be weird to get used to at first because she has always been Carla.

I just saw this show over the weekend. I'm very glad I was able to see these two before they left - both were fantastic (although I'm sure their replacements will be just as fantastic!)

I saw Dacal as Nina ages ago. She was fantastic. I am thrilled that she's getting to play the role full time.

I'm confused, how is Janet Dacal going back into in the heights when Wonderland is going on in Houston soon? I thought I just read that the cast will be the same?? Does she have a evil twin?

and all that I could do because of you was talk of love...

Wait, I don't get it. Isn't David Del Rio still doing "The Troop" or did it get cancelled? The article doesn't entirely say. I haven't seen the show yet and I still want to see Robin de Jesus. Hopefully he'll come back. :/
