I think the hesitation is that they did a recording for the London cast, which has Patti and is very similar (similar in that it's the same production). I am still MAJORLY holding out hope as I need this cast on a recording, but I would guess that is why they haven't done it yet."

I'm sure this is the case. I'm still bugged, both because a new lead strikes me as warranting a new recording, plus it's the last production/revival Sondheim himself got to observe. History. Plus, you know. I want it. lol"

Hey, I'm 100% with you on this.

If they could record the CSC Assassins they can record this!

I find the London recording almost unlistenable. Too many in that cast sing the songs, conscious of sound, rather than acting the characters believably. I was so relieved that the American cast is loaded with acting talent, not just singing talent. This needs to be recorded for posterity!

The orchestra is much better on Broadway, and the orchestrations have several lovely changes. There are also some lyrical changes. I’ll be devastated if we never get a new recording. I do believe if the production sweeps the Tonys or wins several awards, a cast recording is almost guaranteed.

Add me to the list wanting a recording of this cast- I would also like a bonus track of the club remix of Company because it’s a banger!

Matt Doyle confirmed in his Instagram Stories that he tested positive (and is very symptomatic) and will be out 8 days.

Was Doyle on yesterday? Have to imagine if he had symptoms yesterday, he would have called out.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Has Daniels been on for Bobby before? Saw on Redit that she is going on today?

The bench is deep with talent at Company- very excited for Nikki today, she's a star in her own right- I remember her Nabalungi a few years ago when Gavin Creel was in Mormon."

I saw her in that same BoM run and she was phenomenal. I’m on the west coast and already have a trip booked for 3 weeks from now, so while I’m mostly glad Katrina should be back by the time I’m there, there’s still some disappointment in missing Nikki.

I assume Katrina will be out of the show for a bit? Do we know the coverage schedule? Between Nikki, Paige, and Britney.

Really depends if anyone else is out this week, but I'd guess and say Nikki will be Bobbie all week with Britney as Jenny.

Same here! I love that. What a perfect moment to preface TLWL.

Scored a cheap last minute ticket to tonight’s performance - so excited! This is my first time seeing Company live (but obviously not going to be the last). I love me some understudies.

ETA: The gentleman at the box office was lovely, random side note.

I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.

Yes he is. When I purchased my ticket when Simard was Joanne, he was very nice in finding me a good rush seat and very patient.

Here now. Same cast as the matinee. To the poster who wanted a photo of the signed poster, I couldn't figure out where it was.

Based on the curtain call video it looks like a few people were out.

Katrina's "Marry Me A Little" is masterful. It'll be a shame if a recording is dependent on their awards wins.

I don't think that's necessarily the case, I just feel if it does very well at the Tonys there's pretty much no way it won't be recorded. I am shocked as everyone else that it hasn't been yet, but I do think the Covid outbreaks have delayed things a bit too.

If I remember correctly,Anything Goes,with Sutton Foster,recorded their cast album after the Tonys. It won Best Revival and Foster won Best Lead Actress in a musical. I have that cast recording.

I hoped I'd be able to catch Nikki when she finally went on as Bobbie, and I was lucky enough to be in the audience tonight. She was simply stunning. I think there's a lot to love about Katrina's performance, but this audience was clearly thrilled to be hearing the score sung at this level. Nikki showed restraint at times, but when she belted, it was powerful. She sounded gorgeous on every song.

Can anyone who was there tonight or this afternoon speak to whether there were any different keys for Nikki? I could be wrong, but there was a moment in Being Alive where I could swear there's a key change for Katrina and it wasn't there tonight.

Nikki seemed completely comfortable and found a lot of humor and nuance in the character (maybe not Katrina's level of nuance, but that would be hard to match, especially on day one). I don't know how much longer this run will be for her, but if you have the chance to see her, I highly recommend you go.
