So Alan Cumming is sick and this renders my hard to aquire hiptix useless because the next date available is JULY!!!!!!!!!! Glad noone in the roundabout office will offer any other alternatives for me for tickets sooner than 3 months(end of rant). However is this common to cancel a show outright because of a sick lead?
Alan out sick

Posted: 3/28/14 at 3:28pmPeople are coming to see him and are not paying big bucks for an understudy no matter how good he might be. It is the nature of the beast.

Posted: 3/28/14 at 3:34pmI wouldn't pay big bucks to see the understudy, but if Alan was out tonight, and the understudy was on, I'd be headed downtown tonight to check him out. Especially since the hottie who plays Bobby will eventually be Alan's understudy, heh.

I know, how hard is it to get someone's name right? Multiple people have gotten his name wrong on the Cabaret threads. Cumming. NO S.

Posted: 3/28/14 at 3:42pmGeez. Again with the name. A simple mistake. Never again! Sorry your eyes had to see such awfulness. Rest assured I have edited my original message and no one else will be subjected to this atrocity.

"Note to all: Alan Cumming would like you to know that there is no "S" at the end of his last name. "In my comedy shows, I do a song," says the actor amid a sea of orange chairs at the Crosby Street Hotel’s private movie theater, "I do my own little version called ‘Cumming With a 'G'." He breaks into song: “Oh, it’s Cumming with a ‘G’ not Cummings with an ‘S’..."

Posted: 3/28/14 at 4:26pmUh oh call the police, someone put an S on a name. I heard you could get 30-60 for that crime. Run and hide, Taz!

"Why can't his understudy go on?"
The answer you seek is in the article you didn't click through to read.
"this renders my hard to aquire hiptix useless because the next date available is JULY!!!!!!!!!! Glad noone in the roundabout office will offer any other alternatives for me for tickets sooner than 3 months"
Is that because of HipTix or because the run is very sold out until around July, in which case someone who paid $350 for a table up close is just as put out as your $25, unless you factor in them being out $325 more per seat and also waiting until July.

Posted: 3/28/14 at 5:14pman understudy can't go on cause he hasn't had rehearsals yet and performances are resuming tomorrow according to roundabout!

Posted: 3/28/14 at 5:20pmWell, that explains why I couldn't get through to a representative earlier today. I was calling on the status of my ticket exchange (for June). Finally, hung up instead of racking up an expensive long distance call. Good luck to the rest of you. Hope you are local.

Posted: 3/28/14 at 5:28pmInterestingly I imagine it would have been much cheaper to rehearse the understudy than to cancel this performance. This risk did not pay off (I realise it is apparently common).

To the OP: while I understand being disappointed, it's no one's fault the actor got sick. The Roundabout, too, will be hurt by this. Put on your big girl panties. Life goes that way sometimes.
If there aren't any tickets at your price range, there aren't any tickets: what do you thing they should do exactly?

Posted: 3/28/14 at 6:00pmExactly, there's no second Cumming.

Posted: 3/28/14 at 6:08pmWhat other alternatives would you like Roundabout to offer you other than an exact exchange of your ticket's value or a refund?
