I was wondering how often gavin doesn’t go on in hello dolly? i am seeing the show in the beginning of march and really want to see him in it! is there a better chance of him being on friday night rather than saturday night?

Based on some posts here he appears to miss occasionally but it doesn't appear to be anything to be concerned about. I've seen the show 5 times and never had a principal actor understudy in any role. It seems difficult to predict whether he'd more likely be there on a Friday or Saturday - they are both prime nights that actors seem to not miss often. But I guess in theory because Friday isn't a two-show day maybe that might be the safer bet?

Christian Dante White. He was on when I saw it and was fantastic. I wanted to see Creel but boy am I glad I got to see White.

Yes! I can't imagine how it could've been any better.

I wanted to see Gavin but saw White instead who I thought sang the part really well but other than that was a disappointment.

Christian Dante White is good. Gavin Creel is great.

The (very excellant) "Hello Dolly" bootleg that's been making the rounds online is from a March '17 preview in which White performed. He's amazing.

I'll be seeing Bernadette for the first time on opening night, and I'm almost as excited to see Gavin again, for the fourth time. I'm sure that his understudies are great, but, at this point, I would be disappointed to see the show without him in it. I love him so much in this role.
