has the Playbill been changed to reflect this?? Tom Nelis as Anton Schell & possibly someone new for Nelis' character of Rudi?? The Rudi u/s is Ken Krugman, but he also covers four other roles.

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 suspect there is more than a "shred"."

You suspect incorrectly.

I saw the matinee yesterday, and the playbill hasn't been changed to reflect Nelis becoming Anton, there was just a small square piece of paper announcing he was playing the role at that performance. He was wonderful and his voice is beautiful. My well-wishes go out to Roger Rees, whatever he may be dealing with.

Saw the matinee yesterday. Nelis was wonderful and sang beautifully. Kudos to him, and wishing Roger Rees good things.

WHY aren't people seeing this show? It might be dark and it might be weird, but it's hardly depressing. I actually think it's extremely moving and, oddly, life affirming. After the young lovers start the refrain of "You, You, You" towards the end of the forest musical sequence (as Claire and Anton hold each other and dance), and their voices stop and the current Claire and Anton-- an octave lower and far less "pretty"-- finish the refrain, I get a little bit of a lump in my throat. It's my favorite moment of this theater season, I think.

I took advantage of the $19.75 discount, too! I know selling tickets to a show for twenty bucks isn't going to make anyone rich, but why aren't people flocking and taking advantage of this opportunity? It's a masterclass in theater.

Chita should win the Tony for this. She won't win, but she should. It seems impossible, but she's become even better since April. So has the show. Go see it NOW!

The first post of this thread is a bit awkward in hindsight...

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

I thought so, too, though not nearly as insensitive as some of the more cynical comments in the thread, suggesting the show fired him.

Moments like these can really show much these threads can lose perspective and forget we're talking about people's lives. And sometimes, life and death.

This thread should probably just be deleted.
