Is Jenn going to perform at the closing of TARZAN on July 8th if not today most likely was her last.
If this is true I wish Jenn continued success in her future. It is sure to be bright. Go get them Gumby!

Love you JENN,

I believe he was saying that today was supposed to be her last day in Tarzan. I have no clue, but I imagined she would stick it out for the extra week.

will her understudy be playing out the remaining two weeks?

i find it odd that shed leave so close to her show closing, but oh well, her contract was up, so it doesnt really matter...

Gambatese had a two week vacation scheduled for her wedding and honeymoon. She won't be able to return in time for the closing, so today was her last performance.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

I figured that's what it was. I remember reading in that Times article about her (a year ago?) that she was getting married soon.

Jenn and Curtis' wedding has been planned for over a year. It's unlikely that they'll change it now that the closing notice has been posted for Tarzan.

Posted this in the Tarzan Closing thread but thought it fit here better....

Todays matinee was Jenn's last performance as Jane. I was there and it was a very emotional night for her. She made it through most of the show without tears and they gave her flowers at the end. It was a very tearful goodbye for her, I wish her luck with her future projects and with her wedding and honeymoon =)

Niki Scalera, I believe.

As other's have said unfortunately today was her final performance. It was a tough show to get through just watching it. I know the cast had a hard time as well and it is only going to get worse as the next two weeks go on.

As for who will be covering the role of Jane, Niki Scalera will be for most of the performances. You can find the exact dates on her website. www.NikiScalera.com The others will be covered by Natalie Silverlieb.

From what I have seen/heard, Chester will also not be returning to the show for the rest of the performances as well.

Chester will be back on Tuesday

Are you positive about that? From what I've heard, no one from the theater has spoken to him in almost two weeks. He was only supose to take a week off for vacation and never returned unless something came up.

I'm a very good acquaintance of Chester's and I heard from him today and he will be back on Tuesday.

Awesome! Thanks for clearing that up! I know there are quite a few people worried he wouldn't be returning.

No problem. Glad I could clear that up for you.
