Disgusting. You know who many Ethel Merman missed in 1,147 performances and three years of 'Annie'? TWO! "If I'm standin' upright, I go on!".

This Hollywood person has ALREADY missed two performances in previews. Everyone is so goddamned soft these days. There are no more troupers anymore on Broadway. How very sad that is.

I wonder if people are asking for their $ back?

A couple of people in this thread are being quite sanctimonious. Not everyone has the Merm's constitution. The woman must be genuinely ill. I'm sure she realizes how important this role is.

Anyway, since we're discussing disappointments, I was disappointed to click on this thread only to find that it wasn't a protest against Michelle "The Other Destiny's Child, No, Not That One" Williams' being cast in Jesus Christ Superstar.

Michelle could be sick.

just so people are aware Michelle was out with the same bug that made Alan miss a performance or two the other week. nasty stuff.

Williams was out last night indeed. I got to see the performance. Gross did well, a little tentative at times, but that's understandable. She does have a really good voice and by the time she got to CABARET, she did a marvelous job. The production is outstanding, and everyone is doing fantastic work. Danny Burstein and Linda Emond play their storyline with such tenderness, it's truly heartbreaking by the end (Emond is particularly fantastic). Cumming is marvelous. I was extremely disappointed not to see Williams, but Gross really did the part justice.

Sadephram-Happy for you or for Michelle?-there is a BIG difference.

Hi everyone, I am planning to get tickets for Cabaret for sometime in November or December. Does anyone know if Alan Cumming and Michelle Williams will still be in the show at that time? I figure they will be, but I just want to make sure there's no talk of contracts ending, vacations, etc. I really want to see Alan Cumming in this show!
Thanks in advance!

Alan is contracted through January.

Michelle is leaving in August.

Thanks! Good to know. I guess I won't be seeing Michelle Williams then...

Michelle was contracted through January, too...did something change?

[IdinaBellFoster]

Really? March-August seems like a much more believable commitment for a movie star of her size.

There was an article recently about her moving back to LA to pursue films. I'm guessing the lack of love for her performance may figure into this. (And she wants to go where the bucks are no doubt.)

Anyone heard when in August?

[east side story]

Posted: 6/6/14 at 11:58am

Not surprised. I said a while back that I did not see her sticking around through next winter with Cumming, even though reports said otherwise. Tony or no, I loved her performance.

As much as I loved Michelle's take, I really want to see what Andrea Goss does in this role.

[dreaming]

Posted: 6/6/14 at 1:38pm

Has it been announced that Goss will take over? (I thought they might try to get a name in-fall is a cruel season for theater.)

No, I just meant in the event Michelle had a scheduled absence, I would be more interested to see her understudy.
