I know he understudies Zach and that he went on a few times (at least this past Wed). I think he understudies Mike.

he currently u/s Zach, Mike, Al & Greg. he's actually listed on playbill.com as the last name(below all the producers' names, etc.).

"CONNIE - J. Elaine Marcos"

No, unless she magically reappears, she hasn't been in the show for over a month.

Lyndy Franklin has been on as Judy for the past few weeks as well, so it doesn't seem likely that she will return.

ACL2006. Your incorrect in saying that A Chorus Line has not been on TKTS in the past few weeks. I got a ticket on Friday night around an hour or so before showtime at TKTS.

It was my last chance that I was going to have of seeing the revival before it closed. I thing Jessica was AMAZING as Cassie and I thought that she was better the Charlotte. I thought her dancing in The Music and The Mirror was out of this world. And she is hot to boot.

Nick did in fact wear a zip up sweatshirt at times during the show. It wasn't all the time but it was here and there. For example I don't think he did have it on in the beginning but he did have it on during the tap combo scene.

She was back at the beginning of last week, I think.


I'll be there tonight as well.

Heather was only out for two weeks and returned last week. I was told J. Elaine is expected to go one as Connie today. She's been out with an injury - I guess we'll see shortly.

I think the costumes should go back to the original [the way they were for Nick Adams and Mario] design for tonight's performance but I know they wont.
But It would be nice to see them.
Anxious to hear reviews!

I think next to Jon and Lea's last this was the most amazing last performance I've ever been to. The minute the lady said "welcome ladies and gentleman to the last Broadway performance of A CHORUS LINE" the crowd went crazy. When it went to black and the cast came out--crowd again went crazy. Everything got applause. Jessica Lee Goldyn got a partial standing o after "Music and the Mirror" (BTW, I've never seen her as anything other than Val and she was STUNNING as Cassie). Natalie Cortez also got a partial standing o after "Nothing" and "What I Did for Love".

WHAT A NIGHT!!! WHAT AN AMAZING END TO A GREAT SHOW!!! This was such a wonderful & emotional night. Definitly the best night of theatre I have ever experienced. As "obsessedjb" stated before, the minute the announcement was made saying "welcome ladies and gentlemen to the last Broadway performance of A CHORUS LINE" the audience went nuts. And again once the lights went down and the cast walked on stage, there was applause for about 2 minutes.

My favorite parts:

- Opening: So much energy, so much emotion. It was sad seeing the 7 cuts dancers leave the stage for the final time. I just wish Mario Lopez wasn't on stage.

- At The Ballet. It was sort of weird seeing Deidre Goodwin so emotional during this number but I loved it. Then to end it, Melissa Lone's belt of "At The Ballet" lasted forever and the audience went nuts again. Beautiful!

- Music & The Mirror. Jessica KILLED it as Cassie. Simply amazing. Loved the standing o at the end and Jessica was so emotional. WOW!!

- What I Did For Love. When Zach says "If today were the day you HAD to stop dancing, how would you feel??" The tears started. First it was Heather, then Paul McGill & Jessica, then Deidre & Natalie(and for me as well). A much deserved standing o after that number.

- Loved the speech by John Breglio at the end. It was nice to see so many past cast members there. I'm guessing it(Breglio's speech) will be on Broadway.com or some other website as there were camera crews there filming his speech.

Overall, simply breathtaking. An amazing night of theatre that I'll never forget.

Sounds like an amazing closing night. I had the pleasure of seeing this incarnation twice, once with the Original Revival Cast and once this past May. Everything anyone could ever want in a Broadway musical.

I'm so happy I had the chance to see it when I did.

Last night was amazing! The best night of theater EVER! Gosh, I'm still in awe!

[dancingthrulife04]

Posted: 8/18/08 at 9:33am

Which cast members returned?

Mara Davi, Michael Berresse, Jason tam, Chryssie Whitehead, Grant Turner, Aaron J. Albano, Yuka Takara, Tony Yazbeck, and I feel like I'm definitely leaving people out.


Last night was pretty amazing. The energy in the audience was just insane, and everyone on stage (minus one) was on FIRE.

Posted: 8/18/08 at 9:41am

I saw David Baum & some ensemble members that I don't remember the names.

On the side note, I saw Daniel Radcliffe in the theater too.

Yes, he was hilariously bad.

[WithoutATrace]

Posted: 8/18/08 at 9:47am

Well, Michael Berresse was a zillion times better, but I thought Mario held his own and was fine.

I've been asleep at the wheel!! J. Elaine Marcos did return on Wednesday, however, with the exception of the closing performance, Lyndy Franklin has gone on as Judy all week.

Not quite, my friend saw it the 13th, and Parcells was on then.

[dancingthrulife04]

Posted: 8/18/08 at 10:41am

She did the shows on Wednesday, and then was out until last night.

[ACL2006]

Yeah, i saw Mara Davi, David Baum, Pamela Jordan, Nadine Isenegger, Micheal Berresse, Yuka Takara, Jason Tam, Chrissy Whitehead, Tony Yazbeck, Aaron J. Albano, Grant Turner. Plus all the current ensemble/swings were also on stage during the speech. It was beautiful.
