^That may have been a temporary change....the program I got on Sat had the same schedule as before: Taylor going on Sun & Weds Mat (I think) I do know that Alex was most definitely on for the Saturday mat.
I know I'm late in the game getting to see this: but WOW. Amazing acting, great adaptation, and the technical aspects were mind blowing (although I wonder how this would stand up without it -- I'm thinking for regional and school productions). I had not read the book previously, as I wanted to view the play totally on its own merits, but now plan to do so.
I am still sifting through the performance in mind and absorbing so much.
I would expect Tony noms for: direction, new play, lighting and for Alex.

Playbill is saying Trensch goes on Wednesday evening and Saturday matinees.
Might be out of date if there was a change. I'll be at next Wednesday matinee, so I guess I'll find out first hand.

I was at the 4/8/15 Wednesday matinee and Alex Sharp was Christopher. The playbill I got says Taylor goes on Wednesday evenings and Sunday matinees. I LOVED everything about this show. Thought it was brilliant and I plan to go back in the near future, with hopes of getting mezzanine seating.
I rushed and received Orchestra row C seat 14, I got to move over to seat 10 and could see pretty well from there. I can't imagine seeing much from seat 14. Extremely partial. $39, too. Crazy.

I was at today's matinee (Saturday) and Alex was on. The show was amazing and the house was completely full. I cried many times. I have a son with mild Asperger's so I got it all. I sat in the $27 seats (second to last row, right next to the tech box) and I thought the seat was perfect.

Does anyone know what Alex's current schedule is? Seems he is doing matinees as of late ...
Posted: 4/19/15 at 12:08am
The messages above are all within the last week. All current.
Posted: 4/19/15 at 12:38am
the reports above seem to conflict - but two people who have been to the Sat matinee say Alex was on which is when I was thinking of.

Playbill Vault appears to have changed its page in the last week, now just saying "*Taylor Trensch plays Christopher at certain performances."

I was able to return to Curious Incident yesterday for the Sunday matinee and sat in the front row of the right mezzanine, seat 8. My Dad was seated in seat 6. Great view and saw Taylor Trensch this time after seeing Alex Sharp 3 weeks ago. I enjoyed both performances.
This is a random question but I noticed that the first time I saw the show, (possible SPOILER here) there was a maltese puppy Christopher was gifted. This time around it looked like a lab puppy. My question is - do they get a new puppy every few weeks? Because they're clearly puppies and not just small dogs. If so, does anyone know how that works? Where are they getting all these puppies from? haha

Back in November, the puppy was a Golden Retriever. Dogs that size grow really quickly, and it's got to be a puppy. I imagine they have to recast every six weeks are so.
Is there an understudy for Christopher, or does Sharp step in if Trench can't perform?
Posted: 4/27/15 at 4:31pm
They are understudies for each other, so if one of them is sick or on vacation, the other will go on for those performances. They are currently on the 9th Curious Incident puppy, and she is the first girl!

Not sure what took me so long, but I only just saw this play last night and loved it. It will be remembered as one of those treasured theatrical experiences that was completely satisfying in terms of content, production and performances. I'm kicking myself for not having seen it earlier.
And for those who haven't seen the NY Times article about what has been happening with the puppies, this is an adorable read:

Wow, PJ, you just made it in under the wire.
For me CURIOUS INCIDENT can proudly take it's place alongside WARHORSE, EQUUS, maybe AMADEUS, and a very select bunch of other British plays that come alive more like a musical than like a play (and for me that's top praise). The choreography, the music/soundscape, the design-- they all reach my subconscious like a fabulous tap-dance number might, zooming straight past the part of my brain that analyses words and hitting my heart from some core place that's purer. I guess that's the definition of Total Theater.
Posted: 8/7/16 at 2:40pm
I completely agree, and I give enormous credit to Marianne Elliott, who also directed War Horse, for her pasion, intelligence, and dazzling theatricality.
