Wopat is a replacement for his "Dukes of Hazzard" co-star John Schneider, who withdrew due to a scheduling conflict. Performances of the Mark Bramble-Michael Stewart musical comedy about an Allentown girl who replaces a diva on Broadway (all the while singing classic Al Dubin-Harry Warren songs) will play Pittsburgh's Benedum Center.
