YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN replacements

Here we go again........

Big names being replaced by-- smaller names.

 
By Kenneth Jones
Beth Leavel, Michele Ragusa and Kelly Sullivan will be the new leading
ladies of Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein starting this summer at
Broadway's Hilton Theatre.

Sullivan will assume the role of wide-eyed Inga on July 8, replacing
Sutton Foster (who is now in rehearsals for Shrek and exits the Hilton
July 6.)

Tony winner Beth Leavel (The Drowsy Chaperone) will become Germanic Frau
Blucher on July 22.

Ragusa (Adrift in Macao, Paper Mill's Kiss Me, Kate) takes over the role
of Elizabeth, the cold girlfriend of the title character, on Aug. 5.

Andrea Martin ? Tony-nominated for her performance ? completes her
Weill-esque turn July 20 and Megan Mullally (as Elizabeth) will depart
after the Aug. 3 performance.
