I would like to think that she knows that and would not do that to her fans. KNOCK ON WOOD.
If I think too much about the fact that Rudin went ahead and added a FINAL FINAL performance on the same day, I start to get extremely upset. I spent a lot of money on tickets (and money on airfare) under the assumption that I would be seeing history. To say that I was disappointed when they actually ADDED one more show... well... it was Murphy's Law for me. I'l admit.. when I saw that this thread had been bumped, I was hoping it was because someone had posted a link to an article stating the Actor's Fund performance had been canceled.

Did you purchase your tickets through Telecharge? If so, you could ask them for a refund, and buy tickets for the Actors Fund performance. There are still plenty of seats left.

No. StubHub. And for way over face value.
And my flight home from JFK is at 11pm Sunday anyways.

Posted: 1/9/18 at 7:42pmBarring some kind of sudden illness, there is no way she’s not doing all the performances this week. She’s been doing the show for a year, is well aware of the demands of the role and has settled in nicely. I’m sure she thinks and knows she can handle doing eight shows her last week.

I’m not sure why y’all are even worried about her not doing the final matinee.
A bit bizarre of you, actually.

There's actually non-premium tickets available to several of Bette's remaining shows including the Jan 14 matinee.

Posted: 1/9/18 at 8:29pmFor those interested, I went into the Actor’s Fund website and they were selling tickets for the 8pm on January 14th. I bought one for $250 I’m the balcony. As of last night, they had a bunch left!!! Hope this helps someone! I’m looking forward to seeing her for the 10th and final time!!!

There seems to be a small television production truck parked on Shubert Alley with a smaller editing bay on 45th. What could possibly be happening? A interview? A show perhaps being prepared to be captured? Anyone around there free to report?

According to a friend of mine who is in the show, it's not happening. This guy should know. I'd say more but am afraid it might reveal his identity.
Let me quickly add, I hope he's wrong!

A murder victim for L&O:SVU being shot at Junior's... a television production truck parked anywhere in NYC is pretty much normal activity.

My friend just got back to me:
The show is being taped for Lincoln Center archives.

There seems to be more of a to do going on than what normally happens for Lincoln Center archives. Early this morning there was a entire row of theater seats wrapped in plastic in the lobby. Lots of going in and out. But I think if we were getting more we would have all known by now. Maybe Bette is having it professionally filmed for her own use? Carol did that a lot.

Dollypop,
Will you be going to Sunday's final matinee (Bette's last 'public' performance)? I will be attending and it would be nice to know another huge fan such as yourself will be there.
Anyone else on here going to Sunday's 2pm show?

I'll be at the show Saturday night and Sunday matinee.
Are you the Zamedy I met at the final performance of Hairspray?

Unfortunately I won't be there this weekend. Sad, but I'm fully retired now and live on a budget. I will, however, be at Bernadette's 1st preview.

Are there still tickets available for the actor's fund performance?
I'm tempted to change my Sunday night flight to Monday morning.
