Nicole is out, Rashidra on for Norma tonight due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
Well, I’ll be. That bird really did it.

Will the theater do a refund or reschedule if Nicole is out?

Wow, unlucky audience. I hope Nicole is better soon.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Word is Nicole is sick and might be out the entire weekend.
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.

Yes to refund. Reschedule may depend on availability since there's not much time left in the run.

There is plenty of availability for the remainder of the run not sure what 'depending on availability' means?
They are still advertising Nicole for the two shows today. I'm guessing they will check in with Nicole and will soon change this if there is a problem.

People sometimes want to exchange for the same seats and complain when they can't get them because they're taken at another performance. It's not that hard.

Mmm that likely won't be an issue if you look at the upcoming seating charts for any performance everyone will be able to be reseated close to their original seats for future performances.

Nicole was on for today's matinee (Saturday 4/12) and sounded fine.
Third time seeing the show (once before in both London and NYC). While Nicole's name may draw people in, I left more convinced than ever that her performance isn't irreplaceable.
Tom Francis commanded the stage even more than I remember. Just a delight to watch.
Was seated in the last row of center mezzanine. Perfect sightlines. No need to pay premium prices to be up close unless that's your thing.

Was nice when I saw Sunset for my third time a month ago it was the first time I saw Tom getting a standing ovation for "Sunset Bvd" at the top of Act II - it was awesome and well deserved. I do wish they had tried to find someone to continue the show post- Nicole. I get how hard that might be and the added pressure it puts on the star, but this is such a tremendous production that it would be wonderful to see another leading lady put her spin on it.
