I hope that if these “professionals” do this,Trump closes the Center, rips out everything theatricaland reopens it as a museum!"

Donald Trump long ago ripped away "Professionalism" as the Higher Ground. Kick rocks.

there's apparently several dozen drag queens attending this performance as well.

The USA chant won out at the end, in the extended clip."

he probably fell asleep during the performance since it wasn't about him.

Yes we know —a “fundraiser” for the Orange Assclown himself. How altruistic of him!

Does anyone have the list of understudies? I was curious who was out and who played the roles.

The tour's website also removed the cast list off for the safety of all cast members.

I've read that the producers have deliberately been vague about who played last night and who didn't, for obvious reasons."

Just curious if this is something they’ve worked out with Equity. Aren’t shows required to post when a swing/understudy is on per union rules?

I get being vague about who played who but doesn’t a specific announcement by board, or paper or over the PA system have to be in place for understudies? Deliberately hiding it is not good and goes against that.

The paranoia seems strong backstage. A regular playbill with the entire touring company, which doesn’t say “at this performance” would have been fine. Can’t imagine anyone sittingthere with a flashlight comparing and contrasting headshots with faces onstage trying to catch the non-performers out."

You're assuming a lot that those that intend to do harm are not also stupid as hell.

I’m wondering if this was a fundraiser performance in the same way the entertainment fund performances are. Do they usually give out programs at those?
