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.

Posted: 5/31/05 at 7:30pmDoes 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...
Well, I'm glad he got away with it.

"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

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.

Posted: 6/3/05 at 2:09pmI don't think anyone at Telecharge has a list of vacation days. Best bet is the box office.
