i found out she wasnt in the show the hard way. i rushed over to the Biltmore to stage door for the show so i could meet Murphy, and found out there that she was out. i think its her first performance she missed, according to the box office man. but anyways, hope shes doing well, and glad shell be returning tomorrow.

If any one see's Ann on as Lenya please post a review. I would love to know how she is. Annie was one of my voice/speach teachers at a performing art's high school in Sarasota, Fl. I've seen her perform many solo show's at various Cabaret's in Sarasota. She so amazing. Was really excited when I learned she would be back on broadway.

Well, on of the reasons Murphy isn't performing till tomorrow night is because the producers (as well as herself) want her voice to be well-rested and avoid any problems so she can be on in all performances leading up to the Tony awards. And it's known that Morrison played Lenya in both workshops and Donna Murphy was approached when it was decided to bring the show to Broadway, not before.
