I don't THINK this has been posted before, I did a search but I could be wrong.
I was reading the other thread about the performers who always missed shows, so I wanted to know which performers almost or never missed one in their careers.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I heard somewhere that Tonya Pinkins never missed a show of Caroline, or Change...again, correct me if I'm wrong.

Hugh Panaro hardly ever misses a show. He performs sick all the time.

Speaking of Caroline or Change, Harrison Chad played every performance save for one, if I recall correctly. And even that one was in the last week of the show, as they wanted to give his understudy a chance to go on once.

Tonya Pinkins missed many many performances following the Tony Awards until the show closed. Her standby, a talented actress named Adriane Lenox, went on a few years later to win a Tony Award for DOUBT.

Michael McCarthy during the Sydney run of Les Miz. Never missed a show and was actually called back later in the run when everyone got sick and they ran out of Javerts.

Idina Menzel missed very few performances in Wicked. Actually, both of her successors have had stellar attendance records as well.

Heather Headley also had a very good record in Aida.

I'm not sure about his other shows, but Greg Jbara is very rarely out of DRS. He's had a couple of planned vacations, and some missed days to do things like QVC or a recording, but I think, I'm not positive, that he hasn't missed anymore than those days.
