I believe Benjamin Eakeley was on tonight. Any one know if this was this his first time in the role?

Patti was out only one performance, I believe, and I don't think Michael has missed any.

Gemignani

I noticed that Tuesday night Patti was coughing a bit and blowing her nose a few times before she stood up. Looks like the beginnings of a cold.

Report back!

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

I saw it Wednesday night and everyone was on. However, LuPone said at the stage door that she was suffering from a cold, although I couldn't tell on stage.

Everyone was in on Thursday night. The only problem I noticed with LuPone was one slight voice break. So if she has a cold she had it firmly under control that night.

Poor Patti. She had a cold on Xmas eve too so she's either got a long bad one or two consecutive ones. That stinks! At least she still puts on a good performance!
