Interesting that the production is willing to give Amber the time off she desires for her family. Good on all of them.

Does an alternate always have a set schedule?
Lana Gordon is amazing! Would love to see her in this once we know her schedule.
Lana Gordon is a true triple-threat, one of my favorite Velmas, and so excited if I get to see her or Amber.
Highly likely she will have a set schedule - which makes sense to able to give Amber's family more stability/time.
I hope they announce which days she'll be out so the audience can schedule accordingly. I hope they do this for all alternates going forward for shows.
when LaBoheme played Broadway there were 3 sets of leads and they had a schedule of which was on for each performance so I would think it could work the same
Can we guess? Tues night & Wed matinee would give her a long weekend. Or Sun & Tues?

Do they usually announce those sorts of things?

I would assume yes? But I’m not too familiar with alternates. The only one of recent I can think of is TINA and the schedule is listed on their website. Lana Gordon starts next week 10/11 so I would check the website in the next few days for updates.

Each show is certainly different in their approach, but typically I've only seen them announce when there is a headliner for a show (i.e. Donna Murphy filling in for Better on scheduled times)

DEH announced the schedule for Ben Platt and Michael Lee Brown. I don't see any schedule for Jordan Fisher on the website but since the show won't reopen for a while it may not be decided.

just made this account to ask about this as well! where would we be able to check for a schedule if they did release it, the hadestown website? i absolutely love the entirety of hadestown, but andre and amber are two cast members who would be a really important part of my experience! im a huge fan of amber's work, so i hope i can get to go on a day that shes there.

I have a ticket to Patrick Page's return show. Selfishly, I hope Amber goes on for that performance, because I love their dynamic as Hades and Persephone. Additionally, Patrick LOVES doing the show with Amber. Their chemistry is amazing. But at the same time, I really would love to see Lana. If she announces her scheduled dates I might try to nab a ticket to see her as well. I imagine she'll be on the same day each week. Maybe a two-show day matinee? Maybe Sunday and Tuesday to give Amber a long weekend, with Monday being the dark day?

Unless she takes off Friday, Saturday and Sunday? I don't see her missing Tuesdays but who knows?
