Breaking News Update: SCANDALOUS Cancels Both Wednesday Shows; Carolee Carmello on Vocal Rest

Earlier today the matinee was canceled and now both today's 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. preview performances (Wednesday, November 14) of the new Broadway musical Scandalous: The Life and Trials of Aimee Semple McPherson have been canceled. Leading lady and two-time Tony Award nominee Carolee Carmello has been sidelined with vocal fatigue, and by doctor's orders has been placed on a brief vocal rest.

Carmello, whose performance as famed twentieth-century evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson  leaves her with a total of only eleven minutes offstage during each two-hour-fifteen-minute performance, is currently expected to return to the production for opening night on Thursday.

Listed as understudies for Carmello are Alison Luff and Billie Wildrick, but there is no word as to the status of understudy rehearsals.

 Tickets purchased for today's performances through Ticketmaster via phone or internet will be refunded to credit cards automatically within 7-10 business days.

Tickets purchased at the Neil Simon Theatre Box Office should be returned to the box office in-person. Patrons have the option of receiving a full refund to the original method of payment or exchanging your tickets for an alternate date, subject to availability.

Tickets purchased through any other sales channel should be returned to the original point of purchase for more information.

SCANDALOUS will resume performances at the Neil Simon Theatre (250 West 52nd Street) on Thursday, November 15 at 6:30 p.m., the Opening Night performance.
