I thinks so. I've never read complaints about her missing shows.

Of course she's missed performances. She was out the night I went to see Anything Goes for starters.

I know she was out when I saw Anything Goes because she had laryngitis.

I saw THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE about 6 times during her run in the show and she was always in (adding more to the role each time). She was in when I saw YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, SHREK: The Musical, ANYTHING GOES and on every episode I've watched of ABC FAMILY's BUNHEADS.

I guess let's put it this way. While she's not known as that "I never miss a show unless I'm dead" type of actor, she never gained the reputation of a Laura Benanti or Donna Murphy (both of whom, to be fair, had some pretty major unreported/undiagnosed medical issues around their big string of absences that earned them those reputations, and both of whom, I believe, have had much better attendance records in their more recent productions).

She was out of AG for 1 week or so while she filmed the pilot of Bunheads. Though I suspect you're asking more about unplanned abscences vs brief hiatus.

I thought she was out of Anything Goes for more than a week for Bunheads.

I've seen her in Millie, Shrek, Anything Goes and Young Frankenstein, and she was in every time.

She certainly doesn't have a bad attendance record and only seems to miss a show for a good reason.

I've seen her in Shrek and Anything Goes. I was worried I would miss her in Anything Goes because I had tickets the Wednesday night after she had a back spasm the previous weekend and missed a couple shows, but she was on

I feel like I remember reading she was out of Shrek very very frequently toward the end of her run. But that's just remembering potential hearsay. So.

She has impeccable attendance. She was having back spasms during Anything Goes and still going on. She is old school in terms of performing. She had a lot of scheduled time off during Anything Goes.

Also, it is better to seen an original cast closer to opening. Once they have been running a few months, they start taking time off and in terms of Young Frankenstein after the first few weeks it was a crap shoot getting the entire cast on at once.

When I saw Young Frankenstein (2x), Shrek, & Anything Goes, she was always in. I've never heard of her being out often if she wasn't legitimately sick, injured, or if it was a planned hiatus.

broadway guy, I'm curious why this came up. Foster's attendance record seems pretty "normal" -- neither particularly good nor particularly bad. And she hasn't been in a show for a couple of years. What made you think about this?
