This sucks for people who have tickets during the period when they are out.

Sucks for the people who've got tickets for these dates, but at least they're still all coming back for that last month or so (well, Griffiths is only gone for a week, but still).

I'd actually be kind of curious to pop in there that week when they're all out to see what the replacements do with the roles, but I need to see History Boys again like I need a hole in the head!

Desmond Barrit, Maggie Steed and Malcolm Sinclair are not understudies. They played the roles at the National and throughout the UK. And Barrit is an Olivier Award-winner.

Okay, replacements. I'll fix that above. Yeah...don't suppose ol' Pippa will be in there for de la Tour!

People who see them shouldn't be disappointed, even though they may be desperate to see the Tony winners. I found Desmond Barrit's performance to be far more touching than Richard Griffiths. It's a quieter performance, but no less beautiful.
