I'm flying out from Texas to NYC just to see DEH (before Ben leaves the cast) this weekend on Saturday night (October 20th) (skipping several lectures oops lol you gotta do what you gotta do). The show itself means the world to me, so obviously I'm not going to be crushed by any means if Ben isn't Evan since I've heard his understudies are fantastic, but I mean just as everyone would kinda hope, I really hope he's Evan that night. Does anyone have an idea of what his attendance is going to be like for these last few weeks of him in the cast (besides him not doing the Wednesday and Saturday Matinees)? What are the odds that it will be Ben on Saturday night? Thanks!

Since reducing his performance schedule, his attendance has been excellent.  They should have done that from the beginning, he probably would not have missed like three full weeks of work.  Anyway, I would say your chances are EXCELLENT!

I think you're counting the Will & Grace week in there.
