Have you considered that Tina was either having an "off" day or the audience just didn't take to her? You said she was cracking, maybe she was just having a bad show - everyone does once in a while. I'm sorry but 99% of the audience at wedding singer has NO CLUE who anybody in the show is except maybe Constantine and Stephen Lynch. Its a very small percentage of the population who know who "broadway" stars are -we're not talking Nathan Lane being out of the Producers, here.
I saw the show Friday night and it was like UNDERSTUDY LAND - Kevin Kern on for Stephen, Robyn on for Amy Spanger, Matt Stocke on for Richard, and Christina Sivrich was out as well.
While there was some disappointment by the people behind me that Stephen Lynch was out - the crowd hooted and hollered for everybody and it was a fantastic show, and everyone just screamed and screamed for Kevin at the end.
I find it hard to believe there was actually NO applause, maybe it wasn't as strong as usual but... I've seen dozens of shows over the years and have never seen NO APPLAUSE after a musical number. I'm sure there was applause. Maybe it wasn't ecstatic but I'm sure it was there.
Now what would you say if today I started over?
Without a thing but this taped together four leaf clover
And I'll pretend like everything is already alright
And I'll run toward the sun till the castle's out of sight
