Comedienne Kate Clinton, actress LaChanze and television demi-legend Marcia Wallace will leave the Off-Broadway hit The Vagina Monologues on Jan. 20. They began their stay on Dec. 11.
Next up are Stefanie Powers, Lillias White and and Barbara Barrie, who begin Jan. 22.
Clinton has appeared in the one-woman Off-Broadway show Correct Me If I'm Right. LaChanze, and established musical theatre talent, starred on Broadway in Once on This Island and Off-Broadway in The Bubbly Black Girl Sheds Her Chameleon Skin. Marcia Wallace has achieved a considerable amount of cult fame from her television stints as Bob Newhart's sarcastic secretary in "The Bob Newhart Show" and Bart Simpson's vindictive and love-starved teacher on "The Simpsons."
