No apologies necessary, I appreciate everyone's willingness to help. I assume that the QR code is what you show at the door, no other steps required?

Roscioli has officially been added to the cast as a standby (assuming for both Helen and Madeline).

There hasn’t been an official press release with any info on who she is the standby for. I wouldn’t just assume it’s for both.

True. in her IG post she doesn't state any role she's covering.

Has it been mentioned Neil Haskell has been replaced with Nick Alvino? I just noticed that on the DBH cast page.

Neil has been out for a while with Alvino replacing him two weeks ago. Before that, the swings were rotating in his Priest track for several weeks. No word why Haskell left.
FYI, Kristine Covillo(swing) left last Sunday after making her debut on Saturday due to an injury.
Also, general notes on scheduled absences for Hilty, Simard & Williams:
Michelle Williams will not appear in the March 27th evening performance. Jennifer Simard will not appear in all performances from July 21st - July 27th. Megan Hilty will not appear in the April 15th performance nor the April 16th matinee performance. Michelle Williams will not appear in all performances from July 9th - July 11th nor August 29th - 31st.

Dee is officially listed in the Playbill as the standby for both but isn't going on today. I'd assume she hasn't had her put-in yet.

They are both out a lot since the show began, unfortunately.

Why are they both missing so many performances?

I don’t know I saw the understudies today and I found the show to be terrible. I maybe laughed once? I wonder if it’s different with Megan and Jen. Michelle looked also lost on that stage and the scene with her and the staircase looked like it was from Dance with the Vampires.

Williams' acting is definitely lacking. She sings her numbers very well but her scene work is M.I.A. Sounds like she's reading straight from the script. FYI, Williams is scheduled to be out this weekend. Might be better off with her u/s, Ximone Rose. Curious to find out when Dee Roscioli goes on. Hilty is scheduled out for a few performances on April 15 & 16.

Megan and Jenn's attendance feels like Lindsay Mendez in 'Merrily' all over again. I can understand the roles being quite demanding but I wish they just had a set schedule of doing 7 shows a week like Nicole in Sunset. It feels like trying to win the lottery to see them both at the same show.

It's probably like the difference between watching an episode of let's say Seinfeld vs your co-worker trying to tell you the jokes from the episode.

Unfortunately, I don’t think having Jenn or Megan in would have elevated this material—it’s just that basic. Nearly three hours of them scream-singing over each other, lyrics you can’t make out because of their sheer volume, and jokes that barely land. The whole thing feels like it was made for low-brow tourists who think standing in line at Ellen’s Stardust Diner is a quintessential New York experience.

I mean...having seen it, yes. Yes they elevate the material. They ABSOLUTELY elevate the material. The jokes are solid; Smiard and Hilty make it uproarious. Delivery is everything, and Smiard in particular is the master of the unexpected choice. This show needs geniuses in these roles, and they have them.

Hilty has talked about how draining the role is and that her only rest comes during intermission. They just hired Dee Roscioli as the standby for both Hilty and Simard. I doubt they hire another standby or move someone into an alternate role. It'll also be interesting to see if either actress stays with the show past a year.

As Tonys and other awards loom, as well as various benefits and galas they will be asked to participate in, I imagine they both will be doing a lot more press and events again. I wonder if their attendance will be even spottier in the next couple of months. As it stands, it seems like just as many people have missed one or both of them in performance as have seen them.

Insane! While Nicole has missed zero minus her vacations

They did Miscast together on Monday night and last night there was a Q&A with them and the songwriters after the show, so they were there late. I would guess that may have something to do with it.

Yeah, it's an embarrassment at this point. They have the worst attendance of the season and if their roles are so unbelievably challenging like their attendance suggests, they should cut down to 5 shows a week.
