I feel like you’d be safest with an evening performance. If he does miss I bet it would a matinee. Just my 2 cents.

Is Patti back today?
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.

I went to today's matinee and as was previously stated, Patti was out. A card in the lobby listed the show as a sellout, a very good thing. When a Patti announcement was made before the start of the show, many people applauded when Jennifer's name was announced. Jennifer was good and the audience was on her side. I thought Katrina was good too. I very much appreciated the set and the little tricks, people disappearing etc... it brought an extra layer of interest.
Matt Doyle was fantastic. He got huge applause for Getting Married Today. I had arrived early to the theater and was headed for lunch when I ran into him, so we reminisced and chatted for a minute and took some photos. Still as nice a guy as ever. Like Dick Clark and Paul Rudd, he has fountain of youth good looks.
Inside the theater I sat near two men who had seen Max Clayton in Music Man the night before. They said he was excellent and possibly better than Hugh Jackman, but they hadn't seen Jackman to compare fairly. Still, that was high audience praise.

I have tickets for next Wednesday.
It's very possible the person I'm taking has Covid. We are awaiting test results.
If she tests positive, has Telecharge been good about exchanging for a later date?
I've never had to ask to do that before.

I had to cancel my entire NY trip two weeks ago due to COVID and Telecharge stated that an official COVID diagnosis from a medical practice was required (home test results not acceptable). I was extremely ill and did not have the time or physical ability to obtain this, and eventually a manager said he would contact the theatres and request approval to cancel/refund the tickets. All of the shows purchased through Telecharge (A Strange Loop, The Minutes, and Company) ultimately approved the cancellation request.

Eager to hear if Patti is back tonight!
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

We can only assume that it’s Covid-related, as there’s no reason someone would call out of multiple performances following a Tony win.
If it is, she’d have to isolate for 5 days. So she technically could return to the show on Saturday. Of course, there’s no communication about any of this, so who knows.
I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.

I don't think it's COVID. Originally Telecharge had her listed as performing in the evening show. It appears she was a last hour call-out based on Kathryn Allison's IG post about playing Sarah last minute again.

Lol you actually can't assume anything. There are a host of reasons someone would call out multiple perfs following the Tonys. You do know other illnesses still happen, right? And, ya know, the stamina of a 73 year old woman may warrant some sort of rest? Particularly after the busiest period of the season.
If she has COVID, as an above the title star, they would have announced it as they did the first time.

Looks like a planned absence as he is at an event tonight in DC (per IG).
