Broadway's Tony Yazbeck Will Step Into Chicago Singin' in the Rain, Replacing Injured Sean Palmer
Sean Palmer, who played Prince Eric in Broadway's The Little Mermaid, is exiting the new Chicago-area revival of the musical Singin' in the Rain due to an injury. Tony Yazbeck, of Broadway's Chicago and White Christmas, will replace him in the central Gene Kelly-originated role of Don Lockwood. The new opening night is Nov. 30, rather than Nov. 15, at Drury Lane Theatre in Oakbrook Terrace, IL.
