I’m seeing Dear Evan Hansen Saturday Night, can I expect the entire OBC?

I believe Mike Faist is for sure to be out, I think he's out on his week vacation. I know Will Roland missed both shows yesterday and they did bring back one of their vacation swings but I dunno if him missing both shows yesterday is indicative of him being out this entire week. I doubt they'd have two of their mains out on vacation in the same week but I'd watch his attendance the rest of the week.

That’s a bummer about Mike as I wanted to see him. Hopefully they are all there somehow.

I saw the show last night. Will Roland, Mike Faist, and Kristolynn were all out. Colton Ryan played Connor, Michael Lee Brown played Jared, and Olivia Puckett played Alana. I have also seen the full OBC and I thought the replacements did an incredible job and were comparable to the originals. I was bummed when I found out the whole OBC wouldn't be there, but I was pleasantly impressed and didn't feel like I lost out by not seeing the originals. And Ben was there, and just pure perfection. It was actually neat seeing all three Evans on stage together! I thought they had great rapport together. They had someone new (Nick) in for Connor at the matinee so I can't speak to his performance, but I would guess that if you are seeing a Ben show, you would more likely see Colton than the new guy as Connor. Enjoy!

Oh, and for anyone interested, for the line about "Hey Connor, nice hair, very school shooter chic" they changed it to "nice manicure" since Colton does not have long hair.

Will and Kristolyn are back in tonight, the only one out is Mike. Hopefully that means you'll get to see most of the original cast on Saturday!
