IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
CAST CHANGE FOR SUNDAY, JANUARY 21, 2024
Andrea McArdle, who first captured the hearts of theatergoers everywhere when she originated the title role in the mega-musical Annie, will perform in place of Jessie Mueller with Seth Rudetsky for our show, which is at 7:30 pm on Sunday, January 21 at the Heymann Center in Lafayette.
Sunday night's show featuring Broadway's Jessie Mueller & Seth Rudetsky was to be an impromptu, off-the-cuff night of great entertainment. This show just got a little more spontaneous and we are confident that the amount of fun that our audience has will be amplified - no pun intended!
"Early this morning, we learned that Jessie Mueller was ill and could not perform," says PASA's executive director Jackie Lyle. "Thanks to Seth Rudetsky's quick work and fantastic show biz relationships, Andrea McArdle will perform in Jessie's place."
The audience can expect to hear "Maybe" and "Tomorrow," two songs from Annie that she originated, as well as a wide range of familiar Broadway songs from her incredible career that spans Les Miserables, Beauty And The Beast, and Cabaret!
