Nathan Lane out tonight.

Nathan Lane was out tonight. Hope all is okay but do wish with all the emails from Telecharge and Ticketmaster informing buyers there would be no late seating (which is ignored), they could let us know when a principal is out.. Missed Lauren Ambrose earlier in the week also. Oh well.

Nathan Lane out tonight.

Well, this is the nature of live theater. But for a show like Angels, I think one of the merits of seeing a stand-by is that he would probably give it all for the chance to perform while Lane might need to consider how to conserve energy to play 7 shows a week without destroying himself.

If I remember correctly, Lane hasn't missed many performances over the course of his career.

Well, that is an automated email scheduled in advance from the time you bought your tickets. There is often far less notice for someone calling out.

My husband won the lottery for the shows today (Saturday). If Lane is out again, might they give a refund? I expect not, since it was a lottery.

Nathan Lane out tonight.

Kind of off topic, but regarding two part shows... is it possible for an actor to call out the first part and then come back the second part?

Nathan is great but him being out wouldn’t deter me from seeing the show. The rest of the cast is so strong and so special.

Sure. They are treated as individual shows by the cast.

I was there last night and got into it with the box office.

At first, they told me I had no options to exchange my ticket. When I continued to press and point out that Lane was above the title, they finally lamented and gave me a sheet of paper with instructions on how to past date.

Past date? It should have been a refund!

This shouldn't be allowed, it shows a complete lack of respect for the art of theatre and the actors who have given their lives to the craft.

There are 2 separate performances today: Saturday May 26, 2018. Part 1 at 1pm and Part 2 at 7pm. As mentioned above, each performance is treated separately.

You should call the Neil Simon Theatre directly prior to each performance to check on Nathan Lane as he could miss the 1pm matinee but perform the 7pm performance or vice versa, etc.

It shouldn’t be allowed? What an absurd notion. Some people go specifically to see a certain performer. Producers don’t have to allow it, but I don’f see anything wrong with it when they do.

Yeah, no. I paid money to see Nathan Lane. If Nathan Lane isn't performing, I want my money back.

It has nothing to do with anyone else.

You tell ‘em, sunset! This revival has been billed for its casting. And Lane is above the title. Audiences have every right to get a refund. Actors get sick, so who can blame Lane? But producers get insurance for reasons like this and refunds should be granted.

Meanwhile My Fair Lady offered refunds or exchanges when Lauren Ambrose was out...

It isn’t the first time people complain about the Neil Simon staff in here though, so it’s not really a surprise...

The Neil Simon staff is the worst customer service in the entirety of the United States of America. Rikers Island guards are more friendly.

Did you find anything out? My friends are going today and will be very upset if NL is AWOL

I must have caught them on a good day. When I had my trip cancelled a week or so ago, my Angels In America tickets were refunded by Ticketmaster, after box office approval. Granted, my 4 shows with Telecharge were refunded quicker. I am grateful to all of the box office staff at my six shows who approved my full refund. If not, I would have had a big loss.

We stopped by to get my husband’s lottery ticket and the clerk said “we haven’t heard for sure, but I think he will be back.”

I was talking to someone by the stage door and Nathan Lane walked by and entered. I say he is in.
