Tony Award nominee Ramin Karimloo, who originated the role of Russian military general Gleb in the Broadway premiere of Anastasia, will play his final performance in the musical December 3 at the Broadhurst Theatre.

A new character written by playwright/book writer Terrence McNally for the stage incarnation, the rising Communist general finds himself torn between uniform, father, and his heart as he pursues Anya across a continent.

Karimloo’s replacement will be announced in the coming weeks.
