Sara Chase has announced her departure from The Great Gatsby on Broadway. Chase – most recently seen leading the world premiere of Schmigadoon! at the Kennedy Center – will play her final performance as Myrtle in the hit musical on March 30.
Chase announced her departure on Instagram Tuesday morning, writing that it has "been a wild year and getting to play Myrtle for a year and a half it's time to pass the wig." She ended the caption by saying that she is "beyond grateful for this experience."
Last year, Chase briefly left the production after being diagnosed with tubal cancer in early 2024. After she completed several rounds of chemotherapy, she returned to the production in October.
