John Lithgow out from 6/14-18?

New York City Ballet is performing "Carnival of the Animals", which John Lithgow narrates and performs (if you want to see John Lithgow dressed as an overweight elephant nurse dancing ballet, you have got to see this ballet!) from 6/14-6/18. Will John Lithgow skip out on DRS for a week? I can't see NYC Ballet having someone else perform the piece; John Lithgow wrote the narration and performed it before he started DRS.

Does anyone know if Nick Wyman will be going on for John on those dates? I'd love to catch him in the role; I know he'd be wonderful.

I think Nick will be in for John. According to BSo. ;X

Edit: Or not...

"WOW, talk about STAMINA from DRS to NYCB!! "

TO be fair, the toughest thing John does at NYCB is get himself in a fat suit and wear lots of makeup...much easier than doing DRS

John will also be out a few weeks in August.

Nick no longer works there, right? Or am I wrong? I remember hearing that he was let go... Does anyone in the know know who replaced him?

Bump- curious who will be on instead of Lithgow

When I was there last week they still had Nick Wyman listed in the playbill as the standby for John Lithgow.

the other understudy is named tom galantich, so if nick wyman isn't going on he would be your man

Does anyone know the dates he will be out in August? I have tickets for August 10th.

I heard that Norbert might be out the first week of July. Can anyone point me to somewhere that might confirm this? I have tickets for July 6. I am not the type to refuse to go to a show that a lead is out of, but I kind of wanted to see the performance everyone is talking about.

Does telecharge confirm these kinds of thing or do you call the box office?...sorry for stupid questions

[BluCat500]

Posted: 6/3/05 at 1:01pm

Bump...Telecharge doesn't confirm this at all...Is there anyway its not true? Where did the list of dates that Lithgow would be out come from?

[Thenardier]

Posted: 6/3/05 at 1:06pm

Sorry, Broadwaynut.

John is out Aug 10.

[BluCat500]

Posted: 6/3/05 at 1:33pm

ah, where are you getting these dates ...Telecharge is driving me nuts

While we're on the subject of DRS cast members being out, Gregory Jbara will be out June 26-July 2.

[TheGaIsSilent]

Posted: 6/3/05 at 2:09pm

I don't think anyone at Telecharge has a list of vacation days. Best bet is the box office.

[BluCat500]

Posted: 6/3/05 at 2:13pm

How do you reach the Box office?

[BluCat500]

Posted: 6/3/05 at 2:52pm

Bump-I can't find a phone number for the imperial theater or anything

[Thenardier]

Posted: 6/3/05 at 3:21pm

Go to google and search Imperial Theatre.

I doubt they'll tell you though...
