Does Sutton Foster usually miss matinees?

The chances of her NOT being their are really low. But you won't know for sure til in your in your seats before seeing the show.

It is a valid question though.
Pay attention to this board...if she develops any kind of a pattern for being out at matinees, i'm sure you'll hear about it. So far, her attendance has been stellar at Drowsy. Also remember that her role in Drowsy is less demanding than her roles in Millie and Little Women, so she is less likely to need extended time off.
I hope you get to see her. She's fabulous, and in my opinion, the best thing about the show.

I'm seeing it tomorrow evening.

What about the rest of the cast? How is their attendance?

And does anyone know the exact dates for Sutton's break?

Edward Hibbert (Underling) said last night that he would be out of the show in July and August but would be returning, I'm assuming, he will return sometime in September. Sutton has been at the 3 performances I've seen though all were evening shows. The only one out last night was "Trix."

If Sutton is taking time off from the show for the wedding/honeymoon, it won't be in August. Her wedding to Christian isn't until September, so if you are looking for dates to avoid, I'd be concerned with Sept. days. Might check with the box office.

I'd guess that Edward Hibbert would come back to Drowsy sometime in late September as Curtains is scheduled to run until Sept 10. He'd probably then stay with Drowsy until Curtains makes a transfer to Broadway(if it does).

Maybe you just had bad luck the times you went. I saw her in a matinee of Millie 3 years ago and she was there.

I miss the Millie days

Maybe she's on vacation or had a family emergency?

Jarnerdav, sorry to hear that, just bad luck I guess, hope you finally get your chance to see this legend in the making.
I got to see her 6 times as Millie, including her final performance (a Sunday mat). Also once in Little Women, and 2X (so far) in Drowsy, and in concert at Lincoln Center's American Songfest. She had to cancel a 2 week gig at Feinstein's because of Drowsy rehearsals in March, hopefully we'll get another chance to see her do caberet after her Drowsy run.
