Does anyone know if Derek Klena or Christy Altomare have announced when they are leaving the cast of Anastasia? I am going in January and I was wondering if I would see them or not. Thanks!

So far only Ramin has confirmed to leave. I haven't see anything other than that

I can't see any upcoming shows for Derek popping up in the next little while, and he is getting married soon so I predict that he'll stay in the show as long as he possibly can. Same goes for Christy, I feel like both of them (depending on how long the show runs) will stay with it until closing. But if I were to put a possible departure date on it I'd say they might both be leaving in and around the summer which would fulfill a probable one year contract!

Sorry to hijack this thread, but did Ramin always have a shorter contract than the rest of the cast or is he just cutting it short? And is Max just fulfilling the rest of Ramins contracted run?
And I remember this musical I remember their brilliance And I might never sleep again...

I find it sexist that you put a males name before the female in the title.

I find it sexist that you would list a male name with a second letter that is e because oppression also has e in it and males are oppressors. So stop being sexist right nowwwww.

To my understanding, contracts are usually for one year from first preview, so I expect that they'll both be in until at least toward the end of March!

It is my understanding that one of them will likely be extending, and the other will not.

I also have heard this, and I don't think it will surprise anyone.
