Is Josh still in the show?? I saw it on Wednesday night and the Playbill has Kevin Massey as Tarzan, but it definately looked and sounded exactly like Josh. Same with Chester as Terk...looked and sounded just like him, but the playbill has Dwayne Clark as Terk...just curious because I wasn't aware that they weren't in the show anymore.

josh strickland, chester gregory, and jenn gambatese were out of the show from last friday until the begininng of this week. disney took them to amsterdam to promote the show opening their next spring. rather than list understudies for three major roles for a week, disney reprinted the playbills with the understudies in the leading roles (they didn't replace those three in the ensemble in the temporary company listing!)

josh, chester, and jenn are still in the show and will be for quite some time.

Ok, I thought that was them. I know Jenn wasn't in the show on Wednesday, but I know it was Josh and Chester. I saw Celina Carvajal as Jane and she did a great job. The show wasn't amazing, but it wasn't as horrible as I have heard it was.

yes, jenn didn't get back to the states until wendesday.

celina carvajal did a great job as jane? were you sitting in the same building that she was in? she made no ATTEMPT at the british accent, she couldn't sing.. she butched any song they gave her.. hell, i was rooting for that spider after 'waiting for this moment'. jenn gambatese and niki scalera are fantistic janes and offer polarly opposite and equaly valid and engaging, wonderful performances. celina on the other hand.....

I don't know, I haven't seen the other two, so I can't really make any judgements based on that. I didn't think her performance was that bad...sure the British accent wasn't great, but other than that, she wasn't bad.
