There are two separate threads with the same name started by two different people. I remember seeing them both a few months ago. Maybe they should be combined?

I bet Jim Stanek is surprised by that!

So rare for Cerveris to be out. Anyone know the reason why?
I love Jim, anyone going to see him?

Nicole Van Giesen went on as Helen for most of last week, here's a clip of her singing 'Days and Days'. She seems to struggle with some high notes, then again, no one compares to Judy Kuhn.

Does anyone know who the new child swing is now that Gabby is moving up?

Does anyone know if there are any scheduled absences this coming Saturday (9/26)?

Alessandra Baldaccino is taking over as the new swing.

Lauren Patten's on as Joan through Sunday, Nicole van Giesen's on as Helen both shows tomorrow. Seeing tonight's show, excited to see Ms. Patten in the other role she covers after seeing her as Medium Alison!

I'm seeing Sydney's last show on Sunday. Hoping Kuhn is there...

Please report back with thoughts on her performance!

@n2nbaby-Kuhn should be back for Sunday. Her absence tomorrow is for a pre-existing concert engagement she had. I'm guessing she'll be there for Sydney's last. I hope you get to see her.

Will the entire OBC be back for Sydney's last show?

Oscar Williams said that Wednesday was the last performance for the full OBC, so I'm guessing not.

I have already seen her twice but am going with someone who has never seen the show before, so hoping she is there. :) I asked in the SRO thread but nobody really gave much of an answer, my bus is coming into the city at about 7:45am and the box office opens at noon. I should be good for getting tickets for that day, I'm assuming? I'm a little nervous about it. Damn anxiety.

Ms. Patten was great as Joan, a bit perkier than Ms. Colindrez's. But excellent nonetheless. Wildly different than her portrayal of Medium Alison, so it's great to see Ms. Patten's versatility.

Ms. van Giesen was a much quieter Alison, which put a lot of that transition of self-consciousness between Small, Medium, and Regular Alison much more in their voice. Which was very cool. She's a great Alison, her "Telephone Wire" was excellent.

Thanks for the review jessejaehoon, really wish I could've been there!

Did anyone else catch Nicole as Allison and have any more in depth reviews? Anyone have heard any audios of it floating around yet?

I thought Van Giesen sounded rather wonderful here, certainly holding onto Kuhn's powerful interpretation. From the sound of this clip, I'd say no one has been cheated.

Why was Alessandra Baldacchino replaced so quickly as small Alison/John/Christian understudy?

I saw Jim Stanek perform Bruce the other night. I was a little disappointed, since I've never seen Cerveris (in this or anything else), but he was fine. He started out a bit rough -- it was hard to hear him, because he didn't project and he mumbled a bit -- but he got better quickly.   I don't think he was entirely in the role the way I imagine Cerveris is (I wouldn't have given him a Tony), but he was more than adequate.
