Ciara Renee and Kimiko Glenn have officially withdrawn from Encores! Off-Center's upcoming production of Andrew Lippa's THE WILD PARTY due to scheduling conflicts, BroadwayWorld has confirmed. Joaquina Kalukango and Talene Monahon replace the pair, respectively.

Broadway veteran Renee will next be seen in The CW's upcoming spin-off of THE FLASH and ARROW, titled LEGENDS OF TOMORROW, and Glenn is a regular on Netflix's runaway hit ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK.

Led by Tony winner Sutton Foster, the cast also includes Steven Pasquale, John Ellison Conlee, Brandon Victor Dixon, and Foster's YOUNGER co-star Miriam Shor. One additional ensemble member is expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.

Directed by Leigh Silverman and choreographed by Sonya Tayeh, THE WILD PARTY will run July 15-18 at New York City Center.

Per press notes, "Andrew Lippa's The Wild Party, adapted from the Jazz Age narrative poem by Joseph Moncure March, is the story of one tragic, decadent night in a Manhattan apartment shared by Queenie (Sutton Foster) and her menacing lover Burrs (Steven Pasquale). The couple decides to throw the party to end all parties, where Queenie meets a handsome stranger (Brandon Victor Dixon) who wants to lure her away. The show opened at Manhattan Theatre Club on February 24, 2000 and played 54 performances."

Tickets to THE WILD PARTY start at $25, and can be purchased in person at the New York City Center Box Office, through CityTix at 212-581-1212, or at www.NYCityCenter.org.
