Carpinello Won't Return to Broadway's Xanadu

Although it shouldn't be a surprise to anybody at this point, a producer of Xanadu has finally made the announcement that James Carpinello won't be returning to the show. Carpinello originated the role of Sonny in Xanadu on Broadway, but was injured during previews, at which point Cheyenne Jackson took over the part. Carpinello was initially expected to return after he recovered, but it's now official that Jackson will continue to play Sonny on Broadway.
