Linda Lavin was out of GYPSY an inordinate amount. But she was a replacement, and people didn't turn their tickets back when she was out, so it hasn't seemed to affect her career.

Jennifer Holliday is famous for her attendence record but you'd have to ask Holliday expert MargoC on the details.

Bernadette Peters was out for a bit from Gypsy in the beginning.

And then there's Nathan Lane in The Producers.


And hang on, when did you win the discus?

Oh no... don't go picking on my Nathan... re: Anyone keeping track on how many Wonderful Town performances Donna Murphy has missed?

He had throat polyps and had to sit out on doctor's orders (as well as Mel's). He didn't want to miss the performances he did - and during the second run he did miss any (while Matthew missed one Wednesday).

Why does Donna miss so many? Is it also health related?

She missed a lot in the beginning due to illness.

This week she was off for vacation. Their SM told me it was her first scheduled time off for the entire run thus far.

Kristin's was never spotty, people just thought it was. She had a lot of scheduled absenses do to conflicts where she was doing other performances. The producers knew this when they hired her (she originally said no to Wicked), so I wouldn't call that shotty: shotty is just missing shows randomly.

I honestly don't even know if WT will still be open in October so I have no idea.
