I love stories like this:

but also wonder - what happened to the other Satines? Covid again?

Looks like Solea was back in the show last night, per her Instagram story.

Moulin has had a lot of people out the past few weeks.

In a situation like this, does Nicci get paid for a week or just a prorated one performance check? I wonder if she was asked to be on standby this whole week.

I’m hoping she looped her agent in and they negotiated something amazing for her, based on the amount of money and goodwill she saved the production.

Solea and Brody Grant should compete to see who’s missed more performances.

Nicci is covering the role of Arabia this week. She also went on Sunday as well. They must have offered her a short-term contract to cover the two roles.
