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.

I'm seeing the matinee tomorrow with C is for Company, I'll post here if there are any understudies.

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.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

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!
