Playbill just announced it, but I happened to see it on his Facebook page yesterday.  How incredibly sad that he suffered all these years after that horrific accident.

I spoke to him at the Sophisticated Ladies reunion concert (don't remember the year), but it had to have been before his accident.

My earliest recollection of seeing him on stage was in Sophisticated Ladies and My One and Only.

Tamar will be a wonderful Coalhouse!

There were a lot of principal male absences when I saw the tour in DC 2 years ago.  Saw the 2nd cover for Burr.  Not good at all!!  Same thing happened when I saw the tour in Baltimore in 2019 (different Burr cover).

Katerina made the show.  Her performance made a huge difference.  Having seen clips of the Broadway production, there's something about the tour that the comes off less polished (for lack of a better word). 

Stephanie Umoh is the new Angelica.  She's fine, just not my favorite in the role.  I saw her on tour a few years ago. I wish Ta'Rea Campbell was in it.  She's phenomenal as Angelica.

@MatthewS1 - Do you know who's replace Tamar during his leave?

Not sure why my previous post has a 12/31/99 date!

I'm glad I got to see this last Friday.  If I lived closer to the city, I would definitely see it again.

Having seen this twice, the video clips are not a good representation of the show I saw. I wonder if this was from an invited dress. I thought it was a fun and enjoyable production, though I don't see it transferring.

Does Katerina do all 8 performances, or does she have a scheduled evening off?  I'd like to see her when the tour arrives in DC soon.

I thought Rebecca Johnson-Smith was going into the show after Robyn left, though I never saw an official announcement.

I'm quite surprised by how short Jon Jon and Isa's run was, especially since she just made her Broadway debut.  I won't get an opportunity to see them before they leave.

Titanic also didn't have any acting nominees which was kind of surprising considering the strength of the cast.  There were only 4 nominees in each category in 1997 (I just checked).

I'm kind of surprised none of the actresses were nominated for Suffs. (I stand corrected as I didn't see Nikki James name when I first read through the list)

I was also expecting to see Lorin Latarro's name.

7 nominees in the best featured actress in a musical is unnecessary.

I absolutely adored this show and saw this production for the last time Friday evening. I was shocked by how many empty seats there were in the mezzanine. 

Does anyone know if Michael Iskander departed the show early? He wasn't in Friday night, and he wasn't there today. He was still listed in the Playbill. 

Ever since the Kiss of the Spider Woman debacle, I kind of don't trust them.

It's jarring not to see the Phantom marquee since it was a mainstay when it first went up in late 1987. I will always associate this show with my move to NYC.
