For two nights last week they replaced Tadeusz's act 1 solo "Wake Up" with another number, simi

Natalie's attendance is, unfortunately, pretty horrible. However, to your point about trying to see Ashley—it's pretty much an unwritten standard now that Ashley goes on every Tuesday night for Satine. I'd say going on a Tuesday makes it a pretty strong chance you'll see her in the role."

Not unwritten at all - this is announced. Ashley is Satine every Tuesday and then the standby for the other shows. She announces if she's not going to be on on

Anyone know what happened to Bianca? She just disappeared. Yesterday was supposed to be her final performance."

It sadly looks like Bianca and Charlotte are done with the production, they just can't keep up anymore"

Bianca is in her forties, and perfectly capable of still handling Velma (and jumping over to the other with a day's notice). Clearly something happened this month but I hope she's al

Patti LuPone FANatic said: "Was Tom Hewitt on as Billy Flynn not too long ago? I would love to see Ryan Silverman or Tony Yazbek as Billy. The news of AFW as a returning Velma was interesting. It is in the best interest of the show to develop new Velmas. Lana Gordon is busy with Hadestown. I'm surprised Terra C hasn't been offered Velma for the most recent availability. There hasn't been a celebrity Velma in eons. It's probably because the role demands a great deal in

Sutton Ross said: "Natalie is so damn talented, loved seeing her up there with Aaron F (his debut as Christian!) but she takes many, many mental health days. She seems to prioritize the mind, body, soul connection above anything else. As long as her employer is cool with it, I doubt anyone else cares."

She missed most of the month of February, and towards the end of the month it seemed like she was quietly on medical leave. The show doesn't seem to want to announ

She definitely was on Monday night... but not sure how many she did after that. She's definitely been out since at least Friday as has Bianca.

Unsure but I did see they hired a Satine understudy. On Tilly Evans Krueger’s Instagram Live on Sunday, she showed an actress - I don’t remember her name - but Tilly & Cast kept referring to her as the new girl. She was sitting backstage with them and people in the comments were a

ElephantLoveMedley said: "Not to badmouth Natalie at all (I quite liked her in the role at the Hirschfeld), but she took several performances off last week leading up to their performance on The View. Aaron did the whole week, including a two-show day the day before their televised performance.

I truly don't understand how Aaron has been able to maintain such a vocally strong and consistent performance since the show started years ago. His stellar attendance is also tr

lukeworsham said: "Was just perusing ticket sites in prep for a May NYC trip, and I noticed that tickets to DEH when I'll be in town are extraordinarily cheap. You can sit virtually anywhere in the Music Box outside of premium for just over $100, even the front row. Not even Phantom is that cheap.

What's up with that?"

The front row has always been one of the cheapest price points at DEH. The stage is excruciatingly high, those seats are terrible.&
