Aw....I'm sure a lot of disappointed folks....including me living vicariously through the WestCoasters!

**This cancellation was made necessary due to a serious family emergency affecting a principal cast member according to press representatives.**

Hope whatever it is turns out ok!

According to the Seattle Times, it's Butz who had the emergency:

Sending positive and hopeful thoughts to him and his family during this time.

I'm sure, but, why not read the attached article before commenting?

I mean, whatever.

Neither of the articles linked in this thread says exactly what happened. Those are elsewhere.

The murder is only mentioned in the comments section of the attached article, not in the article itself. I don't know about you, but I seldom bother with reading those.

In any case, it's clear Ripped Man didn't know. Given the circumstances, you could have more considerate in correcting his misapprehension - but you know, whatever....

I could have, but I chose not to. Thank you for pointing out my options. I hope to solicit your advice in all avenues of my life.

Ohmigoodness! Thank you, too. Everyone is so helpful tonight.

I'm sorry, I felt... at the time of my comment... that it was ignorant to post without actually having read the situation... I didn't say he was mean, or dumb, or a "douchebag"... I was pointing out (in a passive-aggressive manner) that one should read up on an issue before posting about it... otherwise you look foolish. Again, I wasn't insulting the poster... just... making a point in an obnoxious way. As such... I don't need to be told "I could have been more considerate"... as I am aware of that fact, but chose not to be "more considerate." That was the point.

But I do... marvel at your vocabulary.

That's because you are a douche. You made a mistake & continued to act like an a**hole. There for you are a douchebag. Would you like a diagram?

That is to bad about Norbert, my thoughts are with him at this sad time. And for KJisgroovy you need to think before you open your mouth. You are a total jerk for saying what you said, I'm sure the other person how no idea what had happened. I agree with TheatreDork2 with what he said. You made a mistake and you continued to act like a big jerk.

I can't even imagine having to go back to doing a musical comedy when something like this has just happened to you. The entire world just stops when a loved one dies.

Yeah, I'm questioning whether an understudy will take over or more previews are gonna be cancelled.

I have a feeling that the two day cancellation was to rehearse the understudy. I wouldn't expect Norbert back this weekend, but if he is, god bless him.
