I'd like to suggest to you that you take a course in Reading Comprehension.Peace.

You didn't read my message - Williams did NOT "fall sick a second before going on stage." He had called out BEFORE I called Telecharge to purchase my ticket and asked if anyone was out. If fans knew that, then ticket-sellers should have known it too.

People on this message board didn't have a crystal ball to know that Williams had been out since last weekend & would continue to be out all this week. If they knew it, then the people selling tickets to the show should have known it too.

That was exactly my issue: you always assume a risk that someone's going to be out when you see a live show. But when you specifically ask if anyone's going to be out, you're told 'no,' then find both leads are out even though fans on a message board knew Williams had been & was going to continue to be out, you can't help but feel deceived.[This isn't pertinent to my point, but just thought I'd mention: Ferguson's replacement was excellent. William's replacement however was merely serviceable...

At least you were lucky enough to see this thread & so knew in-advance that the two leads would be out. I've been disappointed in the past w. cast replacements (I recently saw a performance of Moulin Rouge where virtually every speaking role that evening was played by an understudy), so now I know to ask about cast changes before buying a ticket. And in this case of last night's Take Me Out I did, and was given false information; information that was known by people on a msg board, but appare...

If I had not specifically asked Telecharge if anyone was going to be out, I would've accepted the disappointment as just bad luck. No one "was injured a second before going on stage," as this thread explains that Williams called out last weekend & will continue to be out all week. It seems to me that ticket-sellers taking money from customers should know at least as much about casting changes as fans on a message board.

I saw it tonight (Tues Nov 15) too & was also disappointed. I specifically asked when I bought my ticket on Sunday if anyone was going to be out & the Telecharge agent said no. But now, reading this thread, I see that Williams has been out since last Sat. & will be out all week. Although the understudies gave capable performances, I feel cheated too, esp. since I specifically asked before purchasing my ticket. Telecharge should know these things sooner than a message board.
