What do you mean a gag? This wasnt a late April Fools joke. People were posting audio clips on social media within hours of the performance ending

Presumably, because they didn't have anyone else who could cover the role. It's a holiday weekend and I know other shows are short on swings due to either illness or vacations.

He was reached, he was available, he’s done the show countless times so he knows the technical aspects of the blocking, extra money, car service provided including dinner. Only an idiot would decline this one performance offer.

Heard Aaron is on again today. Can anyone confirm?

I wondered how hard that would be to fill in on short notice for one performance. It seems from what you are saying that it is no big deal. What a nice surprise for the audience that had tickets to that show, wish I could be that lucky !!
