At the show tonight. They're down 4 male ensemble members. 

The show is on for tonight as the box office issued me a standing room ticket in exchange for last night's canceled performance.

How is Kelsee Kimmel as Jersey?

I thought the movie was hideous. Such a wasted opportunity. It made me dislike Alyson Reed. If anything needs to be made again, it's this. 

I saw on Instagram that Nicci Claspell was brought in with 2 hours notice yesterday to play Satine. She previously played Nini on tour, and a brief stint with the Broadway company late last year.

There is nothing wrong with the scores of their shows.  The score to Smash was its strongest suit.

I hope Joshua Henry gets some better fitting costumes.

I have nothing against Leslie Odom, Jr.  I just didn't particularly care for the performance he gave on the filmed version of the show.  It was very different from what I remember him doing when I saw Hamilton in person.  That being said, I prefer Joshua Henry's and Nicholas Christopher's take on Aaron Burr.

I haven't seen Smash yet, and not sure if I will.  I was thinking, could the writing from the original series be copyrighted so that they more or less had to start from scratch with the Broadway incarnation?

The current Sophie on tour is Amy Weaver. Not sure when Alisa Melendez left.

@dreamboy3, there wasn't a dance break in the Garden of Eden sequence in the Tyne Daly production of Gypsy.  I just listened to a live recording of it.

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.
