Anyone heard that they're only doing a concert version of the show tonight? (Sat) Some one on Reddit says that's what he's getting , but no other info.

Update: No Corbin, No trio. They performed 5 songs, refunds given.
Sounds like illness run amok, not enough understudies to cover.

Something else notable in the LSOH universe, Roger Corman passed away today at the age of 98.

Oh, I guess the thread got posted twice. Here’s what I wrote in the other one:
I was there tonight— apparently, there were too many cast illnesses and not enough coverage. At first, they gave us the option of getting a refund or staying and watching the “concert version” of the show. We stayed, and before they let us in the house, they informed us that everyone would be getting refunds. At about 8:30, they came out, did “Grow For Me,” “Somewhere That’s Green,” “Dentist,” “Mushnik & Son,” “Feed Me” (with the puppeteer using the “Ya Never Know” size Audrey II) and “Suddenly Seymour.” Jinkx, James Carpinello, Jeff Sears (on for Corbin Bleu), Stephen DeRosa, puppeteer Weston Chandler Long and an offstage Aaron Arnell Harrington as Audrey II were the only cast members; no urchins. It was a fun experience, Jinkx stayed and took photos with everyone individually inside the theater .

Quibbler - thanks for reposting, I hadn't noticed the thread posted twice... I'll try to get them to delete!

Very gracious of Jinkx to stay and basically give the whole audience a meet and greet.

That's insanity that that many people were out last night. Are their performances today going on?
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I also heard (not verified) that Corbin had at least the matinee as a scheduled performance off.

Yeah, she just offered it up. It was funny because at first she sat onstage by one of the counters and said “just come on up!” and, immediately, the stage managers swooped in and were like, “we can’t do that!” So, she just sat on the lip of the stage and everyone filed down to her. One of the house managers took the pictures. It was very generous.
