There was six total cast members out last night. All swings were on and some doing split tracks. So Nicholaw being brought on was to save the show this weekend.

I went to the matinee yesterday, Casey was on of course as he and all the swings are all weekend. I went back specifically just to see him, and it was a real treat. There were a number of people in the orchestra who seem to know what was going on, the mezz and balcony not so much. Casey got a nice reception on his first entrance as Spats, and played the role just fine. It was just nice to see him in the show, I only flagged one slight line stumble but he was otherwise flawless. The highlight for me was watching him dance and tap the final chase sequence, he was eating that choreography alive, and seemed to be having a really great time doing it, especially the laundry bin moment.  Also spats final line... 

 

 Spats final line

"You are all terrific dancers" was met with huge applause as it usually is, but it had a little more appreciation on it because it was coming from Casey to the cast and everyone loved it. 

I do wonder if they will hire more swings, because this can't be a long term solution if multiple principal cast members are out again. Anyone have thoughts on that?

Apparently CASEY was on Spats again last night and will be on again for both shows today. Anyone know what happened to Mark Lotito? Casey Garvin covered his whole weekend not too long ago and it seems he’s been out for a while

Was Borle back last night? Odd for Nicholaw to still be going on.

This show needs to hire a few more swings ASAP .

I said this on the previous page, but Mark Lotito limped out of the stage door after the evening performance I attended on March 15th. He has not been back since- I hope he’s okay!

Borle was out last night and also out at today's matinee. Quite a few people are posting & complaining about it on Reddit. I don't know if Adam Heller is back but given Nicholaw is still going on, I would assume Heller is also still out as well. 

Adrianna Hicks did a live on Sunday and she mentioned the understudy for Heller's Mulligan was doing a split track. It sounds like without Nicholaw, they just can't do the show. 

Yeah they sure need to add more swings.

Borle was out last night but is supposed to be back tonight. Nicholaw may or may not be in tonight, too. Depends on who else is out.

Adrianna is singing the national anthem this afternoon at Yankee Stadium, on Opening Day.

Borle was out again last night. But I didn't see anything if Nicholaw was on as Spats still.

And she sounded fabulous. Beautiful rendition.

Heller was on last night and Casey Garvin was on for Spats.

Does anyone know if Borle was in the show last night?  I am in NY next week and want to see him in the role.  Seems like he's been out a lot.  Anyone have any updates?

thank you

He is still out. Box office says they don't know when he will be back.

It's odd that nobody is disclosing why Borle is out. Hasn't he been out since last Thursday?

Perhaps because it’s personal?

Matthew Lopez, who co-wrote the book, posted that he was going on for Borle for one night only. I wonder how he was.

it was an April Fool's joke. KJ Hippensteel was on for both shows yesterday.

Posted: 4/2/23 at 2:27pm

Based on how this show has been faring, I wouldn’t doubt he’d go on. Too on the nose to be a good April Fool’s joke. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not a drill: Casey Garvin going on for Joe/Josephine in both shows today, per his Instagram story!! (He also noted “*subject to change at any time” lol)

[ACL2006]

Oh, I hope KJ Hippensteel is okay. He's been playing the role for two weeks.

Damn. Seeing this tonight. Hopefully Casey is better in this than when he went on as Stuart in Doubtfire.

Overall enjoyed the show. J Harrison Ghee and Kevin del Aguila stole the show for me. Casey was indeed on as Joe/Josephine and KJ was in the ensemble (isn’t there some rule about when someone plays a principal role for more than two weeks? I assume that’s why Casey was on). Casey was fine. Wouldn’t have necessarily known he was an understudy or that it was his second time on. I could definitely see Christian’s fingerprints all over the role and would like to see him in it sometime.
