Poor guy-- he deserves a medical leave. I can't believe they're so worried about money they will sacrifice an actors health. I wonder if they can incorporate the cane into the show sometime. Also I don't know if there are elaborate costumes, but wouldn't the cane ruin some costumes (and quick changes)??"

Do you really think Parsons’ team of agents, managers, and attorneys would let anyone “make him” come back if they didn’t think he was ready and willing??

Exactly. If Jim Parsons didn't feel ready to come back, he wouldn't be back. Not sure why anyone would jump to the conclusion that the "people in charge" are sacrificing his health for money.

The entire play takes place during the course of a birthday party. No one has any costume changes nor are there any scene/set changes.

Vonmar, Can you confirm this? It will make me feel so much better after having my flight cancelled and missing the performance. Thanks.

Umm, aside from the posts above mentioning him being back tonight, and them posting signs saying he would be performing the show in a boot with a cane?

I assume all of the people freaking out about Parsons returning so quickly in a boot also freaked out about Andy Karl returning to Groundhog Day quickly in a leg brace? If an actor has been cleared by their doctor and feels up to doing the performance, by all means let them! It is their job and of they think they can do it without straining themselves then they should- and if they can't make it, that's what an understudy or standby is for.

Michael has always been southern. Is his long monologue while dressing still in the play? It was cut from the film, and with these edits, I've guessed that it was omitted.

Curious, since they announced Quinto's casting of Harold. (Since my trip was cancelled I will not be able to see this). Does Quinto portray Harold with a wig and/or make up since the character describes himself as "ugly and potmarked"?

I don't get your " joke". In the movie, Leonard Frey either wears a wig or has his hair styled in tight curls and has makeup for acne scars. There are several lines addressing Harold's look. Again, curious what Quinto's look is.

I'm very bad at figuring out when men are wearing wigs on stage, but I think this was a subtle wig? Not completely sure. The pock-markings seem to be put on with makeup but I didn't really notice them from the 3rd row. I was orch right and he was mostly seated facing the other way from my seat, though. When his dialogue mentioned the face markings I was actually a little confused because I hadn't noticed them. From some of the stage door photos it looks like he leaves them on after the matinees?

I'll try to link to some instagram posts that you can flip through.

Lol I get that feeling from a lot of stage door photos. Did you click through to the 5th picture on that link, though?
