"Anybody else find it surprising that in the middle of the July tourist boom, a lead female in a hit show would be out for a week already?"
For crying out loud, what's wrong with taking a vacation? Or maybe she has a legit reason for being off. If she's contracted with this role for about a year times 8 performances a week, that's about 416 shows; she deserves a break. Besides, it's not even Jenn selling the show...the whole Disney name is what's selling the show.
"We like to snark around here. Sometimes we actually talk about theater...but we try not to let that get in our way." - dramamama611
