I'd assume she's performing with the cast at the Tonys?

I wonder who's replacing her?

FYI, they added Wednesday matinees after July 4. Their final 5 weeks will have 8 show/week.

Though I doubt it happens at this point, any chance this extends even one week? I want to get a ticket for the final show on Aug. 10, but only if that's the definitive closing date.

I just noticed the increase in performances today.  Which is good for me, as that's the open spot I have in July!

Still side orchestra, partial view. Unless there's a lot of available seats. Then it might be rear orchestra.

I went a month or so ago and got second row dead center, but sounds like that was a fluke.

Yes. I believe he was out at this past Saturday’s matinee. My friend was going to see him, and she was devastated. He was back for the evening show.

There were apparently a lot of covers on last night. I hope they're not getting the injury bug now that they've been running for a few months.

The slip last night had two understudies (for Shelby and Clark).

I think it was his first show because the cast surrounded and were pumping him up after the curtain call and could hear cheers from backstage.

Thrilled for him in that case. He was fantastic.

I'm seeing the show again late July (because it has stolen my heart) and, while normally I adore understudies, I will be crushed if Ricky is not there.  (I mean, I'll get over it - I was lucky enough to to catch them all in the first time.)  He is truly something special.

I was there last night (second time). Tyrone Reese was on for Rachel Lockhart as Morgan; otherwise, full cast. The show is as wonderful as ever. Ricky Ubeda should have gotten a Tony nomination.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I'm kind of surprised they aren't extended through Labor Day, I know it isn't blowing up the box office but it is doing decent and they can and have started advertising it as a TONY Winning show...

I know. I just hope the show has a life after it closes. At least a run on the West Coast (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle...).
