Posted: 9/8/09 at 10:21pmA friend who was at tonight's WSS performance called to say Matt Cavanaugh was replaced mid-performance - suddenly a different Tony on stage! Anybody know what happened? The annoucement made at the end of the act didn't give any details.

Posted: 9/8/09 at 10:54pmI hope he's okay. No matter what casting choices are made no one deserves to be sick or injured.

I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&.

Posted: 9/8/09 at 11:17pmI was just informed that a fellow cast member showed him that other thread about him and it REALLY, REALLY upset him. So much so he was a mess and locked himself in the stage level restroom. I believe he's still in there.

Posted: 9/11/09 at 1:37amI remember when he was hit was a set piece during the DC run. I wonder if something similar happened. Could it be the ghosts of Robbins and Bernstein? "We want a better Tony!"

They NEVER annouce why a performer is being replaced.
Why would you expect that?

I, personally, never expected them to announce why he was being replaced. But, people talk and I thought someone may have heard something.
