Kearran Giovanni is taking over the role of Helene in the Broadway revival of Sweet Charity as of September 20. She replaces Kyra DaCosta, who left the production on September 18.

Giovanni was most recently in the ensemble of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and previously appeared in the first national tour of The Lion King. Her other credits include Beehive and The Wild Party. She joins Charity on the same day that former Seinfeld star Wayne Knight is taking over the role of Herman from Rob Bartlett.

Sweet Charity stars Christina Applegate, Denis O’Hare, Janine LaManna, and Paul Schoeffler. The show is directed by Walter Bobbie and features choreography by Wayne Cilento.
