Is this a good day to see a show? Will the leads still perform on this day?
I believe the leads do perform in the matinees on Tony day, but, it could depend on what production you're seeing and of they are slated to perform at the Tony Awards.
We went to the Tony Awards rehearsal last year, saw VIOLET perform their song there, then saw the actual show at their matinee performance. I think only one person had an understudy but it wasn't one of the leads. But if you stagedoor, you may have a hard time because the cast might have to leave right away to get ready if they're slated to perform at the Tonys or are attending, etc. Joshua Henry was able to sign, the rest of the cast stayed at the theatre and didn't stage door (I don't think), and Sutton graciously said hello to everyone as she left the theatre.
