Lestat Blocking Change?

I just saw the Sun May 7th matinee, and I have a question for anyone who's seen it recently or would otherwise know -- At the beginning of After All This Time, Armand used to sit and lean back on a piece of scenery. Today there was nothing there and he just stood the whole time, (still doing the normal blocking with his arms and upper body). Was this a permanent change or just a problem with the scenery today? The original blocking, with him leaning back with hands folded and nonchalantly waving his feet back and forth really communicated marvelously how delicious his seeming victory was to him and how he was gloating and savoring the moment. I thought it was one of the best examples of saying a lot with body language, and I hope it's not gone for good.

I was at the show today too. It was my first time seeing it, so I don't know what the prior blocking was, but Drew Sarich was terrific! Rear Mezz row O, but still could see everything!

I haven't seen it since March, but he was sitting at that time. I'm glad you loved Drew! He's fantastic!

I saw the second act on Friday and I'm pretty sure it was the original blocking, Opening Night as well. So it must have just been a problem with the set...
