What did you think of Gabi as Sally? Especially compared to any other Sally's you've seen?

Can't speak to Eva, but Orville had May 16-17 as scheduled absences.  It was on the website and ticketing sites.  June 5, 27, and 28 are, as of now, his other known dates he will be out.

Hasn't Eva gone from one show (Gatsby) to the next (West End Hadestown) to the next (Cabaret) with very short/no breaks in between. That's a fairly rigorous schedule, and I can't imagine playing Sally even a little under the weather or without a full voice.

I guess he was resting his voice as he has a gig tonight in BK at Baby's All Right 10PM

I thought Gabbi was great, a very technically proficient performance but not quite with the x-factor differentiation across vocals/acting or presence I would like in a lead of this kind of show if she were full-time.

Did the ATG takeover from Seat Geek just happen? Or is it just because my performance is tomorrow did I get an email saying, "Your performance of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club is now being ticketed by the August Wilson Theatre Official Online Box Office, powered by ATG Tickets US...."

I remember quite a bit of discussion about it several weeks ago in the Sunset thread as pricing changed dramatically.

Lucky you to be retired and be able to see so many shows! Weren’t you just in London? Wow what a life! Lol

Oh that must be what it was. I bought a ticket last week for a Friday in late June and just today I got an email saying the same thing as yours with my ticket for next month. I purchased it on Seat Geek

Yes, it's official no longer Seat Geek - ATG site! https://www.augustwilsonbroadway.com/events/cabaret/

I wasn’t at your performance, but I’m about 90% sure you heard Orville himself let out a little giggle. It’s an acting choice he makes at the top of the hand salute on “Arise, arise”and it’s a chilling one, but I could see how you could mistake it for an audience member if you couldn’t actually see his face."

 

Wow, that's so interesting if that's what he does, because it was NOT clear at all from my side of the audience.  There were definitely a lot of confused people around me, and coupled with the weird sounds coming from the other side of the audience earlier, I definitely thought that same person was at it again!

I agree with binau's comments on Gabi.  If she were playing it full-time, perhaps she'd develop more of an edge, but I feel like she came across as somewhat more likeable and less complicated than most Sallys I've seen, which is not necessarily a good thing.  In the prior Broadway production, I saw Michelle, Emma, and Sienna.  In its current iteration, I saw Auli'i on Broadway and Rebecca Lucy Taylor (AKA "Self Esteem") in the West End, the latter of whom was sensational.  I thought Gabi had a wonderful voice, but was just looking for an extra little oomph in her performance.

Just got my email notice that Eva won't be Sally tonight. I love her but don't want to bother trying to rebook, as long as Orville is there.
