"As for the last part of your reply, I would take on a show that is taxing on my voice, even though I know I will, at one point, get sick. And when that happens, I will sleep, rest, let someone else do the role, then get up and give it my all again. We all get sick, but it shouldn't hamper me or anyone else from taking on a role or purusing a profession because of illness"
Sure, of course you should continue in your chosen profession and not be held back. BUT, you would also need to realize that not showing up DOES get noticed, as we see in this thread and many others. It was not so long ago that Nathan Lane was at the center of this very topic.
So, if you do choose to go on, all the best and good luck. But do realize that theatre audiences will take note. I even believe someone, who is a fan of Kristin's, posted they will not buy tickets to the show because there is a very good chance Kristin will not show up.
Theatre is great for getting noticed by Hollywood, no doubt. But, tell me, what is the use of getting to Hollywood when even your own fans don't have enough faith in you to spend their hard earned money to see you perform?
