It seems that love is not always as it appears on the stage, especially in the case of actor Andy Karl. After being married to beloved theater star Orfeh for 23 years, Karl made headlines by ending their marriage due to his relationship with his co-star from an Australian production of “Groundhog Day.”
What makes this scandal even more shocking is the fact that Karl wasted no time in bringing his Australian lover back to New York City. Despite only recently ending his marriage with Orfeh, Karl was spotted parading around the Big Apple with his new girlfriend. This rapid transition from one relationship to another has not been well-received in the acting community.

The common consensus among industry insiders is that Karl’s behavior in handling the end of his marriage and the introduction of his new girlfriend has been less than admirable. The fact that he brought his new flame to NYC shortly after ending things with his wife has left a sour taste in the mouths of many observers.
The love affair between Karl and his Australian co-star, Elise McCann, seems to have blossomed beyond the stage. Reports suggest that Karl paraded Orfeh around Melbourne as if everything was fine, only to blindside her with the news of his intentions to leave her for McCann. This international drama has captivated both theater fans and gossip enthusiasts alike.
Karl released a statement two weeks ago announcing the end of his marriage to Orfeh. In the statement, he cited the challenges of maintaining a strong relationship while working on opposite sides of the world. However, the suddenness of the split and his quick rebound with McCann have raised eyebrows and drawn criticism from all corners.
Despite his attempts to explain the situation, Karl’s actions have sparked a wave of controversy and speculation within the Broadway community. The love triangle scandal continues to unfold, leaving many to wonder about the true nature of relationships in the theater world.
