Does Barbara Cook do matinees? Is anyone in the cast known to take matinees off?

Well I saw the show on a Saturday Matt and everyone was there. (Two months ago).

I'm sorry to hear that you had to sit through that production, The Other One.

Yep, seeing Vanessa Williams and Barbara Cook, and a (generally) great supporting cast perform some of the best songs ever written for theatre, while hearing some (at times) insightful commentary from the man himself - from the second row centre, for about $50, was one of the biggest regrets of my life.

No sympathy needed for me, fellow yankee fan. I am glad I saw SOS. I liked it much more than the previous Sondheim reviews and found it insightful and moving. Two or three numbers were not so hot, but many were golden. I rarely buy OCRs anymore, but I will buy this one.

The house seemed full, the audience very appreciative.

Seeing this on Sunday afternoon. I'm very excited.
