First of all, she's been schedualed to do some Eli Stone taping this fall. Second of all, she does have a rather serious medical problem she has to look after.
I think Patti's problems with absences have to deal more with what I call LaChanze-syndrome (or Fantasia-syndrome if you most) rather than Benanti taking care of a seirous medical condition or filming a TV show she's been schedualed to do for some time.

Laura was out when I saw it Thursday night, and I'm glad for that explanation (and wish her a speedy recovery). But I was quite impressed with Jessica Rush's peformance. Yes, as Gypsy Rose she was lacking a little, but her vulnerability as Louise was heartbreaking. Her "Little Lamb" had me in tears.

I saw the show last night...Laura is definately sick...she had a tissue in the pocket of all her costumes, that she used quite frequently. I think i only noticed because I've seen the show before. However, her voice and acting were flawless as usual

Fiyero2, that's so good to know for two reasons. First of all, I'm just happy to hear her go on sick. I hate when people act like her past attendance record was somehow diva behavior. At least this disproves it a bit. And secondly, that's so amazing that you say she was still flawless, especially vocally. I would think if it were bad enough that she had to have a tissue that it would also effect the performance. Glad to hear it did not. Can't wait to see this again for the third (I won't lie - and probably fourth) time when I come out in February. *grins*

Glad to hear Laura's back. I hope she fully recovers soon.
