After some eagle-eyed fans noticed a couple of days ago that Neil’s name had been removed from The Importance of Being Earnest page on the LA Theatre Works website, it has now been confirmed by the theatre that Neil has had to pull out of the production.
Mr.Harris encountered scheduling conflicts due to his hosting duties at the Tony Awards and is no longer able to appear in our production.
Many thanks to automotivesmile at the Church of NPH for getting a definitive answer on that. The Skirball Cultural Center website notes that line-ups are subject to change so it’s unlikely refunds would be given, but if you were planning to attend solely for Neil and want to try your luck, contact either The Skirball Cultural Center, or LA Theatre Works for further information.

Well fuck. It’s not like me and all my friends have been excited about that for months or anything. *sigh* I understand why he had to pull out but that just sucks.

This is very disappointing news indeed. Two of my very favorite people: Oscar Wilde & Neil Patrick Harris. Was highly anticipating the debut of this production for months also.
