She is trolling the trolls. I love it. I love her.

I think her planned debut was supposed to be the 22nd according to her Instagram channel. This post from BroadwayWorks makes it sound like it was unexpected:

In addition to Hilty and Williams' planned absences, today is the first time in the Chicago and Broadway runs that Warren Yang won't perform the fall. He's taking a well-earned day off. Lakota Knuckle will do it for the first time.

The links that Dee and Natalie had on their Instagram pages to show their upcoming scheduled dates seem to be gone from both pages. (They were there earlier today when I checked.) Disappointing if they're no longer allowed to announce it (though more fuel for those who don't think the production is forthcoming enough with info...).

Is La Hilty back next week? They had said 3 to 4 weeks. Next week is 3? Maybe the intsta pages were removed anticipating her return?
Natalie has a Instagram channel with updates on her performances, it’s listed directly below her bio. Dee is still announcing hers via her Stories and tagging the other actress who will be on.

The link to the channel used to be there. As noted above, it's not anymore, unless it's showing something else for you than it is for me:
Dee also had a channel with announcements, but it looks like folks will have to follow her Stories to not miss an annoucement for the 24 hours it's up.

Dee announced on her stories that she'll be on every show this week except for the Wednesday matinee. Oddly enough, Simard hasn't missed a show since June 11.
MemorableUserName “Dee also had a channel with announcements, but it looks like folks will have to follow her Stories to not miss an annoucement for the 24 hours it's up."
I just checked both of their accounts, and both have a direct link to join their respective channels. Dee’s is titled “Death Dates For The Gaze” and Natalie’s is “Nat Becomes Her! (DBH updates)”, both underneath their website link(s).

You can only see the channel links in the instagram app! They don't show up when you visit a profile via a browser.

I was viewing them in the app but took the screenshot in the browser since it's easier to get the links to post here on my laptop. But here are screenshots from the app. Neither of those links are there for me anymore and they were as recently as Monday. Maybe I'm blocked.

That being said, Simard is out tonight. Ellis is on as Helen (opposite Roscioli as Madeline). (Learned from other means than anyone's channel. Confirmed on BroadwayDirect.)
In the other board (Reddit)they are saying Hilty might not be returning .

That sounds like a giant rumor considering nothing makes it sound like she won’t be.

Agreed. But it is all rumors, always. You know.. someones friend who knows someone in the show.. blah blah.. blah.
Looks like on the ticketing site she’s coming back on July 8th unless she extends her leave again

Dee ended up calling out last minute tonight, so Kaleigh Cronin is on as Madeline.
Apparently Dee Roscioli is sick and Kaleigh Cronin was/is on for both shows today. Natalie is on for Simard tonight.
Dee has a sinus infection and Jenn is Jenn ..

She’s so wrong for this. I hope not.

That was going to be my guess, but she was a standby, not an alternate (at least in Sunset).
