At this moment, Jaquel is expected to be back tonight. If not, Kyle will be on as Usher.

It would be awful if Spivey can't return for the closing performance.

When is the last time he performed? I doubt he’ll be making the last show - or at least not a full one. Kyle deserves it at this point regardless.

Being sick is not a choice and it's certainly not his fault. Jaquel Spivey is the lead of this show. Tomorrow, as with every performance, he "deserves" to be on the stage.

This. Jaquel has tried his hardest to come back, even being at the theatre on Friday warming up before realizing it was not vocally safe for him to perform.
Also, bear in mind that Kyle covers 4 roles and taking him out of the understudy pool (for all intents and purposes) while the other Thought 4/5/6 is still on is very risky because, if for some reason one of those performers cannot perform, then there is no coverage and possibly no show.
Its the last day of the show. All you ghoulish butts need to just stop already.
Also, BroadwayFlash, when I went on Tuesday, first in line was 8:30am and there were 20 in line by the time distribution started, so take that for for you will and account for the weekend

Looking at Jaquel’s insta story it looks like he has the full intention of performing tonight.

That's the word on the street. Unless his doctor prohibits him from performing tonight, he'll be on.

Jon-Michael Reese will be #6 all day. Antwayn will not be playing the final performance.

Kyle is the MVP of this show. I’ve seen it several times and he was always on as Usher or another role. This kid deserves mad props and recognition. He worked his butt off.

If this show does tour, Kyle should be Usher.

I’ve seen the show twice with Kyle as Usher and he was incredible. I’ll be there tonight and would really like to see Jaquel.

I concur. He is a marvel. Give him a raise too.

If the show does do a tour or a sit down somewhere, I hope John-Andrew Morrison stays with it. I just love him. First saw him in "Blues For An Alabama Sky" at Theater Row and knew I wanted to see him in more shows. He is incredible in "A Strange Loop". I got the chance to meet him and he is a very nice man.

It was an incredible last show. I am so fortunate to have seen it so many times. I'm still crying and need to have a drink

But this isn't a family? It's a professional working environment. I've done plenty of shows with people I've despised as human beings. But you have to suck it up and get the job done. There's always this perception that everything is so perfect and fun.

Jaquel was in fine voice and gave an incredible performance. Everyone did. A very special night with an enthusiastic but respectful audience!

Exactly. People go and see shows and have a great time and assume that the cast must all be the best of friends. It’s actually no different then any other work environment. There are people you like and click with and then there are the ones you avoid. Simple as that.
