Posted: 11/29/08 at 2:49pmI most likely will be seeing Guys and Dolls the night before opening. My sister is going but will only go if she is positive Lauren Gram will be there. Do leads usually come on the last preview or save their voices for Opening?

Posted: 11/29/08 at 3:35pmReviewers tend to come on the last few nights of previews, so you can bet that the stars will be in that night.

Posted: 11/29/08 at 7:17pmThe final preview is when I usually get my tickets. It's great seeing the show before the reviews come out. Also, the celebrity sightings are always a fun addition to any evening out. At Spamalot, I sat behind Bruce Springstein. At Tommy, I sat in front of Barbara Streisand and behind David Bowie. My first was Barnum, sitting directly in front of George Burns. eNJOY YOUR SHOW!

How is the last week of previews as far as attendance goes?
I just got tickets to see '9 to 5' not realizing it was for the last Saturday night preview (it just fit in with my schedule) and I would love for the full cast to be in, as I'm big fans of many of them.

Posted: 11/30/08 at 11:13amThat's when the critics come in to see the show. There's no way any member of the cast is going to miss it if they can help it.

Of course.
During previews, the actors don't usually have vacations. They are only out if there is an emergency.
