According to a post on ATC, Karen Mason will replace Mary Birdsong as Velma Von Tussle in Broadway's HAIRSPRAY April 8th.

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.

Boo! That was too quick. I'm guessing she's leaving to film the next season of Reno 911?

I wish she was in the show longer!

He's a faker, and you've been taken in by his con. And in doing so, you are enabling him. He is doing more damage to aspergers than papa's words ever could. -Chane/Liverpool on me having asperger syndrome.
