When Does Applegate leave Sweet Charity? Just curious. I want to see it if she's in it! I'll be in NYC soon, so just curious.

I believe she is contracted through January. I imagine the show will close when she leaves it.

The show just opened a month ago....I don't think she's going anywhere soon, unless Charity closes.

Baby, dream your dream Close your eyes and try it!

I'm pretty sure her contract lasts through Decemeber 31.

She's on Conan tonight, probably to try and drum up some ticket sales

If you really want to help the American theater, don't be an actress, dahling. Be an audience..... Don't be taken in by the guff that critics are killing the theater. Commonly they sin on the side of enthusiasm. Too often they give their blessing to trash... Tallulah Bankhead

I second the show closing following her leave... I'm sure they will speculate big-name replacements, but none will emerge and the show will close (a la Hugh Jackman).

And if she'll say, "My darling, I'm yours!" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best pressed tweed, all I really need is the girl...

I would imagine the show will close before her contract is up. It's playing at 60 some odd percent occupancy and it's only June. Of that 60% how many tickets could possibly be full priced? The show is not in good financial shape.

I am sure the Weissler's will scramble for a replacement. A favorite hobby of theirs.

Well, by Dec. 31st, I'm sure Brooke Shields will be finished with her Chicago run........

Really? I heard from a very reliable source that Harvey Fierstein will be Christina's replacement...

Why are you touting replacements? Luke's right, if anything this show is going to close way before its time.

SOME posters (not all) are touting replacements because they are running out of nasty things to say about the show, Christina, the choreography, etc.
