I saw The Producers last month, & got a bunch of understudies. They were FABULOUS & the show was great! But I have never seen Hunter Foster in anything before & I love him on the Urinetown & LSOH CD's...so I'm planning on getting cheap tickets on Saturday afternoon (11/20 matinee). I was wondering if Hunter usually does the matinees (I know there's no GUARANTEE about anything) or if he's even still in the cast. I could always check the cast list before I buy tickets... but otherwise I'd wait til they bring in Richard Kind & Alan Ruck (are they still doing that?) since I've seen the U/S guys before. Not that they aren't amazing as well, but I'd really like to see Hunter.
I"m thinking Hunter wasn't there last night because of that thing at Michigan University. They renamed the theater there. I'm not sure if it is on campus, but Hunter went to U of M. GO BLUE!
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.
Hunter hasn't missed this week, the last show he missed was 11/12 because of the weather. I have a friend who works for the show and this is what they said.
Leo Bloom- Stacey Todd Holt Max Bialystock- John Treacy Egan Franz Liebkind- Jim Borstelmann
Jim Borstelmann's parts were played by Jason Patrick Sands.
A lot of people seemed to shift up, like John and Jim. It was a great show, though...I knew before I went that I'd be getting a lot of understudies, so I wasn't disappointed getting there, you know? Anywho, it was my first time seeing it & I looooved it. So, I must see Hunter. XD
Thanks for all the info! Hopefully I'll see him on Saturday.
