I hear she had the flu very recently. She won for murderer at the matinee so perhaps she pushed herself a little too far. Feel better, Erin!

Will this be the first time Janine is on for Rosa Bud?

Spencer Plachy is on for Will Chase, and yes, this will be Janine's first performance as Rosa! Very exciting.

Who used to understudy Betsy Wolfe? Hope everyone is there on Sunday when I see it.

Janine was Betsy's understudy as well, but Betsy did not miss any performances.

I see. Thanks! I saw Janine in a production of Sophisticated Ladies in DC 3 years ago.

Kelly2, out of curiosity, how do you know so much about the Drood cast schedule, etc?

I'd rather not say on the board. A lot of this info is publicly available though. Most of the cast has been very forthcoming with their dates on and off, etc.

Will someone PLEASE for the love of all good, lend these actors some Drood? They always seem to be running out...

Is Will on vacation this week? If so, Is Spencer on for the duration or is it split with Eric Sciotto?

I'd think having Janine on as Rosa could boost Spencer's performance as they probably have built better chemistry from understudy rehearsals, etc.

Will's out until Thursday, and I believe it will just be Spencer going on.

According to Gregg, Erin was "swung out" this evening, probably to prevent her from losing her voice (again) from the strain of a two show day on top of sickness. Janine was making it seem this evening, though, that Erin would be back in the show tomorrow. Will is returning to the show tomorrow night.

Janine was a wonderful Rosa, she played a more goofy sexy than Betsy did, and she found a lot of new humorous moments, really made it her own. Her voice was absolutely stunning, wish I could have seen her confession tonight, but no such luck.

On the top of new people, though, Andrew was surely different from Andy. He was not bad by any means, but it seemed like he was trying so hard to be different that he ended up leaving very little impact in the end. I'm interested to see him get a little more comfortable and really develop his own style for the character because he definitely shows a lot of promise.

Janine was wonderful! Does her Drood take it up a bit, or does she just have a crazy range? You all have me curious now about Rosa's confession! I got so excited when Rosa (almost) became Bazzard...has that after happened before? How drastically does that change the show?

Rosa has been Datchery once. It doesn't change the show drastically. Helena steps in for Rosa when Puffer sings "Garden Path to Hell".

Has he grown as an actor since South Pacific? I didn't really care for his performance back then.

Here's a photo of Samonsky in costume for those curious.

Rosa has been Datchery twice, not once.

Janine was incredible last night. What a voice! Much prefer her Rosa to her Drood.

Does his costume look a different color than Andy's to anyone else? And good for Janine, but sucks that Erin is missing her first few shows.

Samonsky was IMHO the best thing about "Queen of the Mist". He seems to do really well with offbeat material. There's a character actor in there, but he looks more like a leading man, so I'm not surprised it's taken people some time to figure out what to do with him.
