I heard a rumor that Gavin is going to get a massive migraine in his dressing room on Saturday but will only perform the matinee Act 2 and only Act 1 of the evening performance.
That's what I heard.

Have you seen Steel as Berger? It was a train wreck.

Posted: 11/5/09 at 12:28pmI can't vouch for Will's understudy as I've never seen him, but I saw Paris Remillard as Claude once and he was great. I also hear that Jay Johnson is really good as well, so at least with Gavin you have nothing to worry about.

Posted: 11/5/09 at 10:08pmAccording to Will's swolen ankle's Twitter account, the ankle is hoping to be able to give Will the support he needs to do at least two shows this weekend. Which shows, the ankle was unable to say due to the 140 character limit.

It was just a blah performance. I felt he did not command the stage as well as Will. Whenever he wasn't saying a line, he was totally lost in the background. His acting was fine (seemed as if he was trying to be almost completely different at times, and then a minute later he was copying Will), but his singing was almost impossible to hear.
