Broadway show loses a star
Jasmine Guy has pulled out of “The Violet Hour,” a play by Tony Award winner Richard Greenberg, less than two weeks before it opens on Broadway.
The actress, who walked out during the intermission of a preview performance, withdrew for medical reasons, according to a spokesman for the show.
For the record:

Stage director -- A Quick Takes item in Friday’s Calendar incorrectly stated that the director of the Broadway production of Richard Greenberg’s “The Violet Hour” had changed. Evan Yionoulis is still the play’s director.
The production, which has seen other cast replacements and a change of director, is scheduled to open at the Biltmore Theater on Nov. 6. The play, originally commissioned by South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa, tells the story of an ambitious young publisher at the beginning of his career in 1919 who must choose between publishing his lover’s memoirs or a friend’s novel.
