A friend in the ensemble said the cast was informed tonight that Patina is out until further notice.
































Totally kidding :) . Best wishes to Patina, hope she gets well soon.

don't scare us like that. I'm hoping this doesn't hurt her Tony chances.

Patti LuPone FANatic,

By Ben, they mean Ben Vareen, the actor who originated the role of Lead Player in the original production of Pippin.

Shouldn't hurt her chances - remember Sada? She was out quite a bit.

It could, if TONY voters are coming to see her and they an under rehearsed understudy. ..

It was a treat to see Stephanie Pope slither on tonight for "Glory." To have Ms. Pope execute "Manson Trio" as her first number...well, it was chilling. A superb Fosse stylist, and a Leading Player who will only get better with more performances under her belt.

She wears a belt?

I hope this doesn't effect her Tony chances! The only problem now though, is that if someone else does win, there will be some people saying it was because Patina must have been out when the Voters came (which I guess we will never know if that would be the reason in my entirely hypothetical situation)

Did I catch her last performance when she was well? I went on 5/1, in the evening. Then, RIGHT thereafter, it would seem, she's been taken ill... Sending happy thoughts.

^ Are you implying that you made her ill???

Hopefully it won't be like last year when Josh Young had so much trouble with his allergies and bronchitis. Going to the matinee today. I'm hoping that she's feeling better.

So I guess we were lucky to see Patina do the full matinee yesterday. I did notice a few cracks and weaknesses in the voice early on, but her energy level throughout the performance was amazing -- particularly now knowing how sick she must have been.

Anyone know if Miller is going on today Sunday at 3?
Anyone know how easy they are being with refunds?

After seeing that ugly short girl in Passion I can't pay to see anymore understudys this season!

I was thinking about watching pippin yesterday, so stopped by the box office in the morning. Since I knew patina had been out for two perfs, I asked the box office if they would refund my ticket if she was out again, and he said no.

I have tickets (purchased months ago) for today's matinee. Praying she's in. Will report back.

[btales]

Posted: 5/5/13 at 1:23pm

She is out for today's 3:00 matinee

Posted: 5/5/13 at 1:25pm

[LuminousBeing]

Posted: 5/5/13 at 1:27pm

AAAARGH!!! Paid full price just to see her!

[Kbradstein]

try changing the date for your tickets at the box office or by phone if your dead-set on seeing her.

Is Stephanie going on or are they putting Molly on?

Posted: 5/5/13 at 1:34pm

Wow I hope she gets better soon! I bet it frustrates her to not go on.
