I have been searching to try to find out when Sutton is leaving Young Frankenstein. I thought there was an article a while ago, but I can't find anything. Thanks for any help!

There are plenty of threads about this already, but since I'm not a total jerk, I'll help you out anyway;
Sutton is expected to leave in July. We don't know exactly when. She's starting rehearsals for SHREK.

I thought she had already left but I guess not...

Hmm, well they brought Angie Schworer in to fill in for Amy Heggins during her leave but its the first i've heard of her replacing Sutton. She isn't even her understudy.

Hopefully she holds out until next weekend. Maybe I'll finally win that lottery.

If not, I look forward to seeing her in Shrek.

I feel very fortunate to have seen her this weekend in YF. She was wonderful. In fact, I loved the show! I had mixed emotions going in as I had heard mixed reviews. Well, it was really fantastic. I reccommend it.

Please disregard JaredBway. The new Inga is not in the current cast, and she starts in early July.

I heard Deborah Gibson will be replacing Sutton.

Thanks for derailing the thread, Foster.

It's only a matter of time before the LuPwning jokes start!

Popular, thanks for setting the record straight. I'm curious to where Jared gets his info, because it isn't the first time he's been wrong. I'm looking forward to her performance, she looks the part really well, lets just hope she can sing it too. 2 new cast members starting on the same day, isn't that exciting!

"2 new cast members starting on the same day"

Who is the other one replacing?

I saw a production of Minnie's Boys at the York last night and an actress in the production named Kelly Sullivan (who was in Contact and Bells Are Ringing on Broadway) wrote in her bio that she will be playing Inga in Young Frankenstein in July. She was a very pretty blonde.

Early July? So is Sutton's final performance on Sunday, July 6th? I would like to be there if I can.

I can't find more information about Kelly Sullivan. What did her bio say exactly regarding Inga?

Elke, On July 8th, in addition to Kelly Sullivan taking over as Inga, a new emsemble member is also joining the cast.

Thanks, go_Billy! For some reason, I understood that you meant one of the leads.

Kelly Sullivan's bio said "will be taking the hayride in Young Frankenstin as Inga in July."

I find it quite beguiling and disappointing that a relatively unknown name by even theatre circles is being cast as Inga. Granted, the role doesn't require the high-caliber star power name of someone like Sutton, but even Cady Huffman or Angie would've been more of a recognizable actress. I'm not advocating that unknowns don't star in anything, but seeing that this show is going to need any extra nudge it can net at this point between the Tony nod snubs and Megan's announced departure, wouldn't a bigger name have seemed more logical?

...And so, there I was at the stage door for "Equus". The enthused avalanche of "Harry Potter" fans was literally pushing me into the barricades. As I was thrust face-first into Daniel Radcliffe's hat, I suddenly felt the thumb of a lanky gentleman behind me pressing firmly into my back. It was then that I realized that both of his hands had Playbills, and that both arms were outstretched in front of me...
