British star quits Broadway for cancer treatment
Maria Friedman, the British star of the US production of The Woman in White, will be out of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical for six weeks to complete treatment for breast cancer, producers said.
The actress will be replaced between February 14 and March 26 by Judy Kuhn, a veteran musical theatre performer who has appeared on Broadway in such shows as Les Miserables, Chess, Rags and The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
