I hope Patti Lipoma recovers quickly. Wishing her a speedy recovery. She’s brilliant.

What a demonstrably false thing to say…people have enjoyed and appreciated Simard’s performance, but to say MANY here preferred it to Patti is laughable.

Haha ok! Multiple people said they preferred Simard’s performance in the Company thread. Have a great day!
A few here on the boards are quoting me as posting this on their reply:

That was posted by n2nbaby. Not me.
I've seen the show three times. The first I had the entire cast in and LuPone was outstanding. Second time I saw it there were two u/s on and Patti was sleepwalking through the show. Third time had Simard as Joanne and the show was the best out of the three times. I'm sure once Patti is back, she'll be giving a top performance since she's got that Tony to go get.

It is a bit concerning that nothing has been said about her absence. Let's see if she's back on Tuesday.

Well, first time seeing this production today.
It’s been a lonnnnnng time since I’ve seen such incongruity between the production/direction (fantastic!!) and everything else (not fantastic!!…save for a few performers). Maybe it was an off day.

I guess Nikki was back as Jenny?
Anyone know if Patti's back tonight?

Last night was the first night since the beginning of March that the entire cast was in the show without any understudies.
