The angels of music are switching things up on the Great White Way! Mary Michael Patterson will succeed Broadway.com Audience Choice award winner Sierra Boggess as Christine in The Phantom of the Opera. Boggess will play her final performance on September 6. New cast member Kaley Ann Voorhees will replace Patterson as the Christine alternate, while Norm Lewis will continue in the role of the Phantom through January 31.

That's not all! Patterson is set to remain with the production through December 13. From December 15, Julia Udine, the current star of the Phantom National Tour, will take over from Patterson.
