According to telecharge,
**Angela Lansbury will not be performing the role of "Madame Armfeldt" Tuesday, April 13 - Sunday, April 25.
which indicates that she will resume performances April 27th!

#3ANGELA LANSUBRY EXTENDS CONTRACT!
Posted: 2/20/10 at 6:58pmWell Angela was only suppose to be with the show until April 25th, and since she won't be performing for her "final performance", it is safe to assume that she extended.

She was only contracted though April 4th. It looks like they're giving her a nice vacation, and then she will return.
Thank God!

Posted: 2/20/10 at 8:03pmGood news. I am hoping to see this when I visit New York this summer. And if she was no longer with the show I would be very disappointed.

Posted: 2/21/10 at 1:28amAs others surmised, this was part of the plan all along. A friend who is a Tony voter didnt see it in January when they invited the voters and when she checked with the show's management, she was assured already a few weeks ago that all of the original cast would still be there in May when they will re-invite voters.

Posted: 2/21/10 at 4:15amWow... then I do have a chance to see Ms. Lansbury when I go to NYC in early June. Let's see: "Looped" (hopefully), "Addams Family", "La Cage" and now "ALNM". A subsitute play: I'd love to see "Boys in the Band." RC in Austin, Texas... looking forward to seeing Miss Patti in her show on March 25th.
"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)

Posted: 2/21/10 at 4:37amYay my tickets (second-row centre) are just before her April 'holiday', so excited!
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

GIVING her a vacation? I'm fairly certain she EARNED it.
But good news for those that haven't yet seen her!

Posted: 2/21/10 at 9:57amAmazing, news, thank you! I was about to buy tickets for March next week instead of the April date I originally wanted. Now we can plan one trip after all!

#19ANGELA LANSUBRY EXTENDS CONTRACT!
Posted: 2/21/10 at 8:12pmAww! I already took time off from April 12-19 to plan my NY trip, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go (my first time to NY) was to see AL and CZJ in ALNM! This just totally ruins all my plans as I can't take the week before off, and my sister wanted to see the Tim Burton exhibit at MoMA, so we can't go later than April.

^ Plus if it wins best revival, I just cannot see it closing a week after the Tonys.
Is there still talk of Catherine returning in the Fall?
