Cavenaugh and Scaglione both out of WSS tonight

Matt Hydzik on for Tony, Haley Carlucci on for Maria tonight. I almost bought a ticket when I walked by and saw the board tonight, but I did not. Would love to hear reviews from those who were there!

How long has it been open & they are already missing performances?

Yeah.. that's pretty bad. Seriously.

The Merm never took off for Easter!

Olivo was out of ITH on Easter last year.
Not sure if its a coincidence...but...

I hope all three of them are back tomorrow night. :/

Haley Carlucci is a fabulous Maria! :)

I'd love to know how Olivo's understudy is.

"Everyone I know who has seen him go on has *raved* about him- I'm kinda looking forward to Cavenaugh's eventual vacation (August honeymoon?), so that I can actually plan ahead to see Hydzik."

Same here. I saw the show in DC and the only thing that would get met to see it a second time is Hydzik.

I guess I'll throw in my dissenting opinion here, but I saw the matinee performance the day before the show opened, and saw Hydzik. He had a very pleasant voice, and it may be the direction, or the production itself, but his acting seemed to be too one-note, and on the same level. There was not a large depth to his emotions throughout the entire piece. He gave the same emotion when talking to Doc who tells him that Maria is "dead," as when he was talking to Riff at the beginning of Act I.

What also might be a fault of the production itself, was the chemistry between him and Maria. It felt like one of those "let's go on a date to the movies and see where it goes" instead of true love at first sight that truly cannot be explained.

Trish2, The only thing I ever see you post is about how bad Karen is. We understand you hate her performance and you can stop. Have you ever thought of looking at the positives of her performance? Her voice? Her acting?

They should not be ashamed of anything. If they are sick, they SHOULD be missing and conserving their energy so that their sickness won't hit all at once after ignoring it and put them out for even more performances.

Please what is DWTS ? Thanks.
