Kelli O'Hara contract in TKAI

Posted: 11/3/15 at 3:13am

Does anyone know if Kelli O'Hara has extended her contract beyond January 2016? I bought tickets six months ago to the October 25th matinee and was devastated to arrive from Boston to find that Kelli was out. While her standby Analisa Leaming was great as Anna and in spite of the rave reviews she has received on these message boards, she is no Kelli O'Hara. LCT seemed confident she will be extending for as long as she can but I haven't heard anything definitive yet and was wondering if anyone has heard any details. I must see Kelli!

All that I can add is that City Center has Kelli and Victoria Clark performing in the MasterVoices Chorus presentation of the Henry Purcell Baroque opera Dido and Aeneas on Thursday, April 28th and Friday, April 29th. Ted Sperling, musical director for The King and I, will be conducting for these performances.

Funny. Just the other day I was thinking that after 327 years Dido and Aeneas was due for a revival.

Check out the site where you buy tickets...it now has added several days that she will be missing, well into April. Looks like she extended! https://www.telecharge.com/Broadway/The-King-and-I/Overview

Simply because LCT has not announced her departure (and they certainly would since she is the biggest draw), I think it's safe to say that she has extended.

"Mostly, I loved the size of these people's emotions. Nobody has emotions this size anymore. Outsized emotions. Operatic emotions. Kushemski and Vanda are like Tristan and Isolde, they're Paolo and Francesca. Nobody's in total thrall like this anymore. Nobody's overcome by passion like this, or goes through this kind of rage."
