Here's to hoping she gets better soon! Thinking good thoughts for Ms Redgrave.
Looking forward to seeing the show in a few weeks

It's been at least a week -- must be a nasty bug. 
Hope she gets better soon!

Posted: 11/11/10 at 6:10pmI doubt anyone is paying $ 135 clams or whatever they are charging to see their understudies.

Maureen Anderman is Vanessa'a understudy. I've seen her on stage before and she is wonderful. I wish I was in NYC to see this production. I had the pleasure of seeing Frances Sternhagen and Morgan Freeman years ago and later Julie Harris and Brock Peters in a tour- all were wonderful and truly unforgettable!
Here's wishing a speedy recovery for Vanessa and wishing more solid work for Maureen Anderman.

I saw her and thought she did a fine job, though I wasn't that enthralled with the production overall.

It's Friday, Nov. 12 now, and the Telecharge page has removed the statement about Ms. Redgrave missing Thursday's show.
There is no statement saying she'll miss the performance on Friday, Nov. 12 at this time.
Let's hope this means good news, but it's still early in the day.
