I really enjoyed this segment. Surprisingly enough, we get a chance to see Kyle Selig during the rehearsals in NYC. There was a diplomatic explanation for his exit from the show. Matthew James Thomas comes in to save the day. Luckily, I'll have a chance to see it in Dallas later this year.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

I was gonna complain about Brian posting that^ in every Pippin thread, but then I clicked on his website and saw his headshot. What's your shoe size Bri? (Also, he's supporting BCEFA, so, there's that, too.)
Loved that CBS Sunday Morning segment. Had no idea David Pogue was once a Broadway conductor! Poor Kyle Selig. Having to relive this all over again. Felt bad for him. My admiration for Matthew grew even more knowing that he had six days to get back into the show and learn all of the changes. What a talent.
