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.
Anywho, info would be appreciated!

Posted: 11/18/04 at 12:11amHunter shouldn't be absent unless there is a emergency, he is sick, or on vacation. Also, Ruck and Kind are still slated to play Leo and Max.

Posted: 11/18/04 at 12:30amI"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 is hardly ever out and should be in on Sat.

No, the Michigan thing was on a Monday night, and it took place at the Richard Rogers Theatre...
Perhaps he had a cold?

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.

I saw:
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.
