Wow!

So sad. Just finding it odd that they're having Nielsen take over for Martin and are bringing in Julie White to take Nielsen's role. Why not just have White take over for Martin?

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Andrea is 72 and she looks damn good. This news was certainly surprising, but she's keeping her typical good humor...and I hope she recovers fast. One of my all-time faves

It kind of makes me wonder what the hell they have her doing in this play that could cause a multiple rib fracture in rehearsal

Likely because Nielsen has been in rehearsals and already has a feel for the show and the director's focus for the piece. Better to move up someone into the larger role that has a feel for it, likely has been seeing what Martin and the director have created for the character and replace the smaller role with someone new to it all rather then bringing them in for the bigger role and starting at square one with them when time is limited.

Oh no! Poor Andrea! One of my comedy heroes! I hope she feels better soon. It must have been quite an accident.

Terrible thing, hope she recovers with no issues!

I'm wondering what exactly happens in Gary to have someone break their ribs though...that's crazy.
