Will he show up at all? Judging by all those empty seats …

Talk is he’s very generous and he only chooses to perform to allow his understudies to have a break. He’s basically their standby.
I thought he had solid attendance during Hadestown. Was that not the case?

Certainly was my impression, too. Lead Hadestown for a year+ with normal attendance. I think this stems from DEH days, no? Was he out of Sweeny alot, too?

If that's true, what a cool thing to do!

If the rumors are true, Jordan Fisher wouldbecome the first POC Christian in MOULIN ROUGE!'s Broadway history."
Meanwhile, every other POC actor in every role he takes is like, "Hey I'm right here! And I can actually do 8 a week!"

This is anecdotal of course, but when I used to work for a pretty legit talent agency a few years back, almost all our black male leading actors were offered appointments for Christian in Moulin Rouge. I think maybe one out of the entire roster accepted an appointment. They just didn't seem interested in the role. Again, anecdotal and from one agency, but I remember finding that surprising.
I went back a few weeks ago to see Solea but unfortunately, she was out. Hailee Kaleem Wright was very good unlike the previous Satine I saw who appeared to be sleepwalking. I was really blown away by Cardoza. He had passion and such an outstanding voice. I am glad that I got to see him. I still would like to see Solea before she leaves and check out the chemistry she has with Cardoza.
