Ricky in Evita - any word on extension

Hey guys - trying to find out if Ricky is extending or planning to extend into the new year. I am in NYC the first week in January (Jan 3-6 to be exact) and so want to see him. I am hesitant to buy tickets until I know for sure. Latest i had heard was he was in the show through the end of year. If he does extend, how far in advance do they usually announce to give the best runway for ticket sales? I would welcome any buzz out there to help me make the best decision possible.

You mean that's not his own hair?

I'm not sure if the main cast (Elena, Ricky, and Michael) are contracted until the same date, but if so, Michael tweeted a while back that he was in it until at least January 26th. Considering Ricky's performance schedule was changed, and, like frogs_fan85 said, he tweeted he would be in the show longer, he'll most likely be there when you go. :)
