Walked by the theater last night and noticed Judith Light was out. However, much to my surprise, Henny Russell, who is listed in my Playbill (from the weekend before, no less) was not up on the board as being on that evening. According to the board, Marie Lombardi was to be played by Johanna Day. Did Henny Russell leave the company? Has Day been an uncredited the entire run? Anyone know?

When did Johanna Day join the cast? Huge fan of hers and would love to catch her performance.

Didn't even realize Henny Russell was the standby to Light. Indeed, AC -- luxury casting!!!

It had to be recently, because I saw the matinee on Saturday, and Henny Russell was still listed as the standby.

Playbill Online doesn't have a stand-by listed for Marie at the moment. Maybe they'll have an update next week? I hope Johanna Day is the new stand-by--I will see her in anything.

Yes! I happen to know that she is the uncredited temporary standby while Henny Russell is away. She went on this past week and will be going on again for Judith Light April 12th and 13th. I can't wait to see her! She's one of my "faves".
