Just a note for those interested: Mr. Karimloo is also going to be out the weekend 2/24 to 2/26 not sure about 2/23, I just know he has concerts on 2/24 (Scottsdale, AZ) and 2/26 (Ft. Lauderdale).
So, it's Julie and Jeremiah or another cover for Ramin that weekend.

Good chance. The FG Ticket Concierge hints that new dates, i.e. beyond May 28th, will be announced in late February. Lea said in a recent interview that she will be in this “for a while”.

Posted: 2/18/23 at 6:52pmHer vacation begins Monday, but she's out both show's today. One can surmise that she'll try to perform tomorrow. She's given two interviews in which she admitted she's performed unwell, and felt she wasn't able to do her best. It's winter in NYC, everyone has been sick. I hope she heals, and I also hope she's committed to a long run. If she stays a full year or longer these absences -- they've added up -- won't be anything but a footnote. It's a killer role, and Benko admitted she had to go on vocal rest between performances the week she did all 8.

I haven't seen or heard of Julie being on tonight. Is she on, or is Lea back or is Ephie on as Fanny tonight?

no announcement on instagram so I am assuming Lea is on tonight.

If Michele is out on an unscheduled absence, does the box office give refunds?
Lea Michele as Fanny - Funny Girl#1137
Posted: 2/18/23 at 10:54pm
I would certainly assume so. I remember people getting refunds when Leah was out after Thanksgiving. I don’t see her name above the title on the marquee, but it’s above the title on all promotional materials and she’s basically the sole reason to see the show.

Lea was indeed on Saturday night as we had friends see that show and said she was amazing and rocked the Wilson so not sure of what she had missing the matinee and Friday shows.
She's back on for the matinee today and Julie is on for tonight as scheduled.

Her announcement is her extension to May. It’s never been confirmed officially though we’ve known she’s extending on this board.

Posted: 2/19/23 at 2:41pm
Since November, the official website has said "Barring an unforeseen absence, Ms. Michele is scheduled to perform seven shows a week now through May 28th, 2023!," so that information was confirmed a long time ago. If it's about an extension, it would be a new one past May, which would track with what the website also says about announcing more dates in late February.

Really? Maybe I’m confusing blocks of ticket sales with her actual contract. Could have sworn she was announced through March, and then through May as listed above.
Either way - such an incredible run and wonderful that she’s not only been able to save this show, but also her own career and reputation. This will go down in theater history as a happy ending to a show with a rocky past.

Does anyone have an idea when the extension will be announced? Ticket Concierge stated that future dates would be on sale in late February.

Correct. It was initially announced as a 6 month engagement which they extended to May.
