A spokeman confirmed Mazzie will replace the Tony-nominated Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Aldonza July 1 at the Martin Beck Theatre (which will, by then, be known as The Al Hirschfeld Theatre).

Owens, Jamie Torcellini, Timothy J. Alex, Andy Blankenbuehler, Jamie Karen, Lorin Latarro, Carlos Lopez, Michael X. Martin, Wilson Mendieta, Gregory Mitchell, Richard Montoya, Luis Perez, Michelle Rios, Thom Sesma, Jimmy Smagula, Dennis Stowe and Allyson Tucker.

A three-time Tony Award nominee for her performances in Kiss Me, Kate; Ragtime; and Passion, Marin Mazzie's other theatrical credits include Into the Woods, Big River, The World Goes 'Round, the City Center Encores! production of Out of this World and Off-Broadway's The Trojan Women: A love Story, where she met husband Jason Danieley. Mazzie also starred in the London production of Kiss Me, Kate, where she earned an Olivier Award nomination for her work.
