I think Lin's back today.

Just had to add more to the Javi!Usnavi love- went to see the show again last night specifically to catch Javi again, as I really enjoy his Usnavi so- there are certain line deliveries he does (especially the "you know it, friend" in the dinner scene, I always awww at his Usnavi there in a way that I don't at Lin's) that I just love, and Champagne with Marcy was fierce. Very enjoyable.

I noticed that too!
it's really great to see an understudy, I guess I got lucky in a way, because it made me realize the show is still great without Lin. Also, I really appreciated Lin's performance the next time I saw it He just is different! Not that I don't love the understudies though...

Javier's Usnavi is a lot more "cuddly" than Lin's. I'm surprised they're not having him take over.

that's so true!
Shaun's was also more "cuddly"
Javi and Shaun usually sang more of the kinda spoken/rapped lines by Lin

Wait, he's not taking over? Last I heard that was the rumor. Oh no!

I want to apologize for some offensive messages posted on this board under my name. The night 0f 12-15-08 I did not have internet access, and someone had used my name to post something offensive. My avatar was also changed. I dont' know what else was posted, or if anyone recieved bad PMs, but I want to apologize for that. I've changed my password, and even though I was not the one posting these messages it still needed to be corrected.

I think he still could be, but they're holding auditions for an Usnavi replacement...

Yeah, I want Javier to take over. He's a lot better than Shaun, IMO.

I'm probably doing lotto tomorrow
I don't know why I liked Shaun more... it could've been that I was expecting and really hoping for Lin when I saw Javier
