He was on Tuesday night as well. Alice didn't even know how long Kyle would be there so who knows how long he'll be filling in.


Also, Michael is going on as Dan tonight, tomorrow and Saturday afternoon.

Kyle is on tonight. Aaron will probably be on for the weekend.

So...where's Tim? Is he on vacation or something? Or is he sick as well?

heo1128, I saw Tim come out of the stage door on Tuesday night.

Blockhead, you mentioned that J. Robert Spencer will be out for all performances until the Saturday matinee. Is he supposed to be back for the evening show? Or is this not sure yet?

Seeing the Sunday evening show and I'm really looking forward to seeing him as Dan.

Elke, I don't know . I assume he'll be back but I'm not 100% sure.

Aaron has been filming Gossip Girl. Tim is neither on vacation nor sick.

And maybe I am naive and don't know how these things work, but when I picked my tickets up Thursday at 5:45 PM there were no subs on the board and the box office guy said "everyone is in this evening"....

Don't they know that Aaron is out filming "Gossip Girl"? And if Bobby is sick -isn't he iffy every day until he gets better??

I feel like it's sort of a "bait and switch" or do box office people get no information about subs??? I just don't know how these things work...

The box office staff doesn't know anything until stage management puts up the understudy board, 1 hour prior to curtain.

Michael and Kyle were both on tonight. I thought Michael was EXCELLENT.

You can't call the Booth theater box office it's a private number that is very difficult to obtain.
You could however try calling Telecharge's service line and sometimes they will call the box office and find out for you
their number is (212)239-6200

Could someone call the Telecharge number for my friend and I to find out if Aaron will be in or not tonight? We know that they probably won't be able to tell us, but it would be helpful to even know that.

And does anyone even know why Aaron is out?

Adamgreer, can you tell us a bit more about Michael Berry's performance? I am really curious about him. Seems good, but not sure...

First of all, he's very different from Bobby. If you go in expecting a clone of Bobby's (remarkable) performance, you'll be disappointed.

Berry's voice is a lot deeper, but it's gorgeous. The one song I didn't enjoy his voice in was the first I Am the One, where, because its so booming, it sounded like he was singing in a concert and not to Diana.

He makes some interesting acting choices. He doesn't break down like Bobby does, but is rather, more resigned to all of this happening. Almost like, he's been down this road with Diana many times before, and nothing surprises him. At the end of the I Am the One reprise, just as Gabe starts running off, Berry reaches his arm out to try and grab him, to pull him back. Very effective.

Of course, he's not as good as Bobby (who should be Tony winner Bobby Spencer), but he's excellent in his own right. I really, really, enjoyed him and would be happy to see him again.
