According to her website she will leave at the end of the month.
"Mandy will play her last performance in IN THE HEIGHTS on January 31, 2010. Exciting announcements to come!"

Posted: 1/11/10 at 12:35amAnd Janet Dacal will replace her, I'm assuming on February 15th or 16th, following Wonderland's engagement in Houston through February 14!

I am glad I went to this mess of a show before she left.

Posted: 1/11/10 at 1:47amWhat are the exciting announcements to come? Is it that pesky Elphaba rumour again?

Her twitter said something like "expanding and I don't mean in height." Sounds pregnant to me.

#8Mandy Gonzalez final performance in ITH
Posted: 1/11/10 at 7:16amI dunno. There's another Elphaba3 on here too.
#9Mandy Gonzalez final performance in ITH
Posted: 1/11/10 at 10:50amI'm excited to see Janet take over the role of Nina. I've been waiting to see the show again with some new faces and I can't wait to go back.

Off topic but, I was cruising the In The Heights wikipedia page and saw under Cast Replacements that:
"Adrienne Bailon will replace Marcy Harriell as Vanessa on February 23, 2010."
There's no citation so take it with a grain of salt, but I suppose two leads of Disney fame are better than one?

Posted: 1/11/10 at 5:10pm^ Some people have known about this for over month. But some idiot on here kept posting that the next Elphaba would be a famous Country singer. I knew that was BS.
#15Mandy Gonzalez final performance in ITH
Posted: 1/11/10 at 5:15pmHa ha! So I was correct in my original assumption!
#16Mandy Gonzalez final performance in ITH
Posted: 1/11/10 at 5:16pmso you all are certain that Mandy is replacing Dee in Wicked?
#17Mandy Gonzalez final performance in ITH
Posted: 1/11/10 at 5:18pmI. Would. Love. This. Mandy paired with Katie Clarke would definitely get me to revisit the Gershwin Theatre.

Posted: 1/11/10 at 5:29pmSounds like she's expecting to me! Congratulations!
#19Mandy Gonzalez final performance in ITH
Posted: 1/11/10 at 5:32pmIt sounds like the only thing she is expecting is to be the next Elphaba. I can't wait to see her!

Twitter...
"is growing a little more everyday..and I don't mean height!"
#21Mandy Gonzalez final performance in ITH
Posted: 1/11/10 at 5:42pmAt first I thought she was pregnant as well after reading her Twitter and her Tweets. It just seems too likely that its Wicked. I mean she is leaving around the time Dee is which would give her time to learn the part. Either way I'm happy for her! I just would love to see her replace Dee.

Or it could also be a coincidence...

Yes because pregnancy & height are the only things that make you grow...
