Natalie Cortez will continue in the role of Anita for the remainder of the Broadway run (Karen Olivo will not return per doctor's orders)

Wow, that is really upsetting.

Oh a interesting note: The revival will have out run the original production by just 16 performances.

Wait, Promises already announced they are closing? I didn't think anything was offical?

The Great White Way Report's Facebook status talks about them at the Priscilla press event right now. How coincidental that WSS's closing went up right now and Priscilla will announce their theatre tonight!

Sad news, but the show had a very good run. Too bad that Karen won't be returning.

Let's hope the next revival will restore the beauty and dramatic power of Jerome Robbins's glorious choreography.

Darn, I actually enjoyed this production, even thought it wasn't super super amazing. I need to get to the Palace sometime soon!

It had a great run. It really is too bad Karen Olivo can't return.

[Kalimba]

Posted: 9/15/10 at 7:16pm

Not surprised one bit that Karen isn't returning.

Not my favorite production, but congrats to everyone involved on a great run.
