Actress-turned-tv personality Rosie O'Donnell has been forced to pull out of a three-show Les Miserables performance at the Hollywood Bowl due to a family health crisis.
The A League of Their Own star was slated to play Madame Thenardier in the musical extravaganza next month, but her eldest son Parker has broken his wrist, and she has stepped down.
She will be replaced by veteran stage and TV actress Ruth Williamson.
The concert adaptation of the musical will also feature The Office star Melora Hardin in her stage debut - she'll play Fantine.
Les Miserables In Concert will hit the Hollywood Bowl on 8-10 August.

It's been approximately 87 years since NBC showed a new episode of "The Office." Not that I've been keeping track.
Ok, seriously, the last fresh episode of the comedy aired Nov. 15, which technically qualifies as forever ago. So it was cool to come across a little information on what will happen when the show returns April 10.
But before I get to that, here's a bit more info on Nbc's comedies: "Scrubs" and "30 Rock" return April 10 also. "My Name Is Earl" returns with a two-parter April 3, and NBC Universal Ceo Jeff Zucker will provide an allegedly "insightful recap" on what's already transpired on "Earl," according to Nbc's press site. I cannot wait for that Zuckeriffic moment! Also, Alyssa Milano and a tabloid celebrity (no, not Britney) are guest stars when "Earl" returns. There's more on all that below.
