Hi folks `
I've lurked around here awhile 'til now. Would greatly appreciate your help. Does anybody know if George Wendt is still in as Edna? I'm coming to NYC this week and have snagged some awesome Row C, Orch seats using the discount code for Wed. matinee. Can't wait!
Thanks,
Tim

Yes he was on Thursday! The cast is AMAZING and so excited to see the show still has the same excitement that it did when I saw it 2 years ago. I actually thought it was better this time around..

George seems as if he's getting very tired but he still puts on a good performance.

I hope you'll get his understudy ! The show is wonderful, but, for me, his performance was one of the worst things I've ever seen on a Broadway stage !

Thanks all ~
...for your assist and input. Wendt's not the reason I'm going (I just love the show) but, was nonetheless curious. I hear the show is in great shape. I'm also going to see The Country Girl that evening. I know it's been ripped to shreds by some but, I'm optimistic.

He was there when I saw it a few weeks ago and I thought he was fabulous. Not as good as Paul, but still great.

hes much improved, you can see that he and the new Tracy, Marissa Perry, worked on some things together to reflect each others performances and work well as mother-daughter.
