Usher Out

Usher Out

Despite initial plans for R&B crooner/heartthrob Usher Raymond to extend his time in Chicago by two weeks (to October 14), those plans have apparently been scuttled by a bad case of strep throat. He has been out of performances since October 6.

Christopher McDonald is once again set to takeover the role of Billy Flynn this coming Sunday (he performed in the role last year), before the 10 year old musical welcomes Huey Lewis back to the production on November 20.

Here's wishing Usher a speedy recovery.
