I was at 'Chaplin' tonight and Christiane Noll apparently missed both shows today. I find that odd considering the show closes tomorrow. Does anyone know what happened to her? I hear she's out quite a bit at 'Chaplin' and was also out regularly in 'Ragtime.' Does anyone know if she's having vocal issues or just has bad attendance?

I know that she had a scheduled concert, but she also missed her final weekend in 'Ragtime'... I'm noticing a trend here.

She missed the final weekend of that one week extension of Ragtime because she had booked another gig after the cast received the original closing notice.

I wrote that. I'm just curious about her attendance in general.

Noll makes her living doing concerts with symphonies around the country, which are booked years in advance. She's been out at CHAPLIN because of pre-existing concert conflicts, which is the same reason she missed the final weekend of RAGTIME.

Speaking of RAGTIME, she was not out of that show "regularly." She never missed a performance until that final weekend.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

Her attendance record is outstanding. Remember, this was scheduled as an open ended run -- this concert would have been booked well before a closing was announced.

If she snags a starring role on Broadway some day, perhaps this is how the marquee will read:

CHRISTIANE NOLL
(when not appearing in concert elsewhere)
in
ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

You people are way too invested in other people's business. GET LIVES.

These would all be dates that the producers were fully aware of before hiring her. Gee, one weekend off during the run of her show. The nerve of some people.

Time off is arranged by many performers throughout a run. Are they truly not suppose to take advantage of things that come their way?

Noll has been scheduled to be out of these shows since before the show announced it was closing.

She's really good about tweeting when she's out of the show. I guess if you'd bought tickets in advance you might be caught off guard, but that can happen to anyone for anything.

I know I've been disappointed when I've gone to see others in Bway shows and they're out (and I get really annoyed when I learn later on that their schedule was published/broadcast that they wouldn't perform that night which I might have known if I had done research before hand). Having said that, I've seen some great understudies go on in place of the actors I went to see. I don't think Christiane Noll is any different than other Bway performers in demand: she's busy! The one performer I still haven't seen yet (she was always out sick when I tried to see her) is Donna Murphy!
