It’s ridiculous to me that Megan is doing an 11:30am show at the Laurie Beechman Theatre on 5/10 but can’t do both of her Broadway shows. I’m sorry but that’s unacceptable. People who paid to see her Saturday night are out of luck but she’s participating in a show at the Beechman. What is going on?"
She didn’t actually perform at the Beechman show. From what I heard she was there supporting her husband’s show and didn’t speak.

I'm also wondering this and now instead of ''Gypsy'' right from the start I think I'll just go to ''Death Becomes Her'' because my thursday and friday are filled already and the rest of the week are either two show days and/or weekend.

She absolutely did perform. She had top billing and there are photos of her reading from a script. She was speaking.

Something is afoot. And since there is no attempt at transparency I suspect it’s something shady. Did she actually call out? Or was this an unannounced planned absence? If she did call out.. was she ill? And then how could she be attending other functions? And if it was an unannounced planned absence.. should the producers be sued for false advertising ? And yes ; I’m going to speculate all I want .

1. People are allowed personal days.
2. Is it nice if the producers announce well in advance that someone will be out? Sure. Are they obligated to? Absolutely not. You can still get a refund if the name is over the title.

If you scroll up, this was already announced. Not new.

I guess either you haven’t been following or are too lazy to read. There’s difference between personal days and weekly continued absences. In what job would you be taking personal days, every week, week after week? And the two leads are being heavily touted and on a lot of the press. THE PRODUCERS ARE OBLIGATED TO NOT MISLEAD THE TICKET BUYERS. Not saying that’s what they did. But what your saying is stupid.

Fire her! If it’s not a legit reason then make an example out of her. The understudy is fabulous. Or bring Sutton .. one of many that would be great. Just a little frustrating. Happy Mothers Day.

Calling for someone who is a mother to be fired on Mother's Day....and ending your post "Happy Mothers Day" is certainly a choice.
Having such unkindness come from someone named "alovingfan" is just the icing on the cake.
This board is too much sometimes. 😂

Unless you have information to share with the class towards her reasons for her calling out declaring "Fire Her" with no knowledge of the situation. You're not a producer, her name is above the title. If you're so inclined, then get your refund. There could be dozens of reasons for why she is out. Could be her, could be her family. With the right paperwork it would not be possible to fire her for absences.

It was a comedy show stage reading that was 25min long and she said one word.

So.. can we speculate about these constant absences now? As has been said.. what other job in the world would put up with so many "personal or sick" days?
