They did have Lana Gordon fill in from Aug. 15 - Nov. 26, 2016; Feb. 27 - May 14, 2017 & July 24 - Sept. 10, 2017. Plus Leigh Zimmerman from Oct. 30 - Dec. 10, 2017 & Terra C. just did a short stint this summer. I agree that AFW should've retired years ago. And I loved it if Carly Hughes returned for a long run.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011.

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

I saw in the Playbill Vault for "Anastasia" that  Vicki Lewis (former Velma Kelly) is part of the cast as "Countess Lilly".

I saw the show yesterday.

Cuba does nothing to the role.

Bianca and the actress playing Mama Morton are amazing!

The show is very good.
