Dick Latessa out of HAIRSPRAY tonight

he has missed before.

Harvey rarely misses and is vocal about his opinion of those who do it often.

I've seen Mr. Latessa's understudy and he's not bad, but no Dick. As written, it's really a thankless role, but Latessa just shines in it. A wonderfully understated performance.

um harveys NEVER missed a show and dicks missed about 9 shows total because his brother died and he got sick right before You Cant Stop The Beat one show so JP went on the end song one night.. I think Dicks sick again..plus he deserves a nite off.

not to mention how NICE harvey is.
is it true he drives to NYC everyday from CT?

We should ALL have Dick's energy.
He never tells his age, but he's in his mid-70s. God bless him!

Well, I agree and disagree at the same time for example Harvey is planing on taking a vacation in Oct. He hasn't missed a show since they opened over a year a go that's 8 shows a week. I think that he deserves a weeks just to rest or do something other then the show and I love the show it's my fav and I really can't imagine it without him but everyone needs a break sometimes. Just it should be all the time same as any other job. Not that being on Broadway is like any other job but ya know what I mean
