Peter Gallagher Still Out of On The Twentieth Century With Kristin Chenoweth

Peter Gallagher will be out of three upcoming performances of the new Broadway revival of On the Twentieth Century at the American Airlines Theatre. Gallagher, who stars opposite Kristin Chenoweth in the musical, will skip the February 24 performance and February 25 matinee and evening performances in order to recover from a severe sinus infection.

The revival is currently in previews with an official opening scheduled for March 12. In addition to Chenoweth and Gallagher, the production stars Andy Karl, Mark Linn-Baker, Tony winner Michael McGrath, and Tony winner Mary Louise Wilson. The cast also includes Phillip Attmore, Justin Bowen, Preston Truman Boyd, Paula Leggett Chase, Ben Crawford, Rick Faugno, Jenifer Foote, Bahiyah Hibah, Drew King, Analisa Leaming, Kevin Ligon, Erica Mansfield, James Moye, Linda Mugleston, Mamie Parris, Andy Taylor, Jim Walton, and Richard Riaz Yoder.

The musical, which won 1978 Tony Awards for its book and score, follows bankrupt theater producer Oscar Jaffe (Gallagher), as he embarks on a madcap mission to cajole the glamorous Hollywood starlet Lily Garland (Chenoweth) into playing the lead in his new, nonexistent epic drama.

UPDATE (February 26): Gallagher will also be absent for the February 26 performance as he continues his recovery.

UPDATE (February 27): Gallagher will be absent all weekend as he continues to recover from a severe sinus infection. He will return Tuesday, March 4.
