I caught Angela yesterday and thought she was great. The show overall is still terrific after multiple viewings.

I doubt they'll both be taking vacations the same time.

People need to remember, though, as a rule, actors get 1 week of vacation for every 6 months of performances. So, for shows that open in the spring, summer is prime time for weeks off.

Ok cool! I just really want to see both of them when I come! But I know they got to get vacation days. How do you know this info? Do they post it somewhere?

Is that true? I earn 6 weeks per year, which I think is on the low end. I thought we were more evolved thanti think taro weeks is enough! Hell, I've worked so many shows where the same performers seem to miss a lot more than that!

I just found this, which sums up vacation, sick, and personal days:

PS. Angie totally nailed it yesterday."

By any chance do you know more specifics about Anthony Boyle's "first week of August" vacation? I'm seeing the show August 12, and while I understand there are no guarantees, he is the original cast member I was most interested in seeing. Really (and selfishly) hoping "first week of August" means the shows August 1-5 and not the first full week of August, which starts on the 6th and would go through the 12th.

Thanks for this info, PThespian! I'm seeing the show this week and appreciate knowing in advance who's on vacation. Great to hear she nailed it!

Thanks! I saw her in the Spring Awakening tour eons ago and I would love to see her on.

I hope the people from England don’t miss July 15 just to watch the World Cup final if England is in it. That would suck for me. I mean it’s really early like 10am!

I hope that people who paid hundreds of dollars to see the "original cast" get to see what they paid for on July 15 or any other date.

You’re paying to see “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” and have no claim to the original cast. Understudies happen and actors have every right to a Vacation.

Anyone out today? (July 11th)

Was in the area and heard someone near stage door say Dave Register covered Alex Price.

I caught Part 2 and I really liked him as Draco. He's not as intense as Alex but he gave a wonderful performance. Alex lowers his voice as Draco so it took a little bit to get used to Dave's voice which was a normal level.

Dave was fantastic! I really enjoyed his Draco Malfoy. Still intense at parts but in different ways and parts then Alex.

Anyone seeing it today (July 18th)? Want to stage door tonight but I want to make sure Sam is in it since I didn’t get a picture with him last time. Can anyone tell me if all of them are in or if anyone is out? Thanks.

James Brown III from Frozen is joining the company. Anyone know what characters he will be playing? I’m curious. They are adding a lot of new people to the cast!

Ooo... awesome! I caught him as Yann many moons ago and I would love to see him on as Albus.

Does anyone know if Sam is out all week or just today? I have tickets tomorrow so I’m just wondering...

^ His instagram shows he's on vacation upstate, so I'm assuming he'll be out all week.

[rwkpa26]

Posted: 7/25/18 at 3:17pm

Anthony is out next week, right?

[Lauren2]

Posted: 7/25/18 at 3:49pm

I guess I came at the right time between everyone’s vacation! How is James doing? Can you give us some specifics?

I don’t think the Hamptons (as seen on his Instagram) is considered upstate, but I do think someone, perhaps PThespian, mentioned that he is taking the week off.
