How long does Broadway Salutes run? Will Alex Brightman, as its just-announced host, perform Dewey in School of Rock that evening (7 pm)? Just purchased full priced September 20 tickets for out-of-town guests after researching when Brightman is in. He usually plays Tuesdays and, as of last week, the box office had no record of a scheduled absence.
Understand Blum is good and I mean him no disrespect. But, honestly, Alex was so special and I raved...and spent so much time checking into all the options..darn. No info on SOR website.

I have tix for that night, too. Hope he's in. This is a show I had no interest in seeing until I saw their performance on the Tony Awards.

So, what would you have done had you arrived and he was out due to illness or something not scheduled? I understand buying tickets to see a certain performer, but there is never a real guarantee they will be performing. People have things come up, people get sick, etc. I understand in this case it's fairly specific because Alex does have dates he doesn't perform, but still - things do occur and events like this happen. I don't know whether he'll be performing that day, but like any performer - things happen.

I'll see Will Blum and I'm sure I'll enjoy his performance. That's the only date I can go, so I'll see whoever is there. But I would prefer to see Alex. And I know it's live theater and anything can happen, and that's fine.

Will Blum is fantastic. I've seen both Alex and Will and they're both great.

Tweety - I apologize, that was more of a direct question to the OP, not you.
