Should I see N2N tomorrow if J. Robert Spencer is out? (first time)

Broadwayunderstudies has him listed as out for both shows tomorrow. I have never seen the show so I don't know if I will lose much of the "original cast" experience if I go and he is not there. I would rather see him in the role since he is nominated, but my friend won't be in town beyond tomorrow...

Should I wait?

Yeah. Even if his understudy (sorry I can't think of his name right now) isn't AS good as Bobby since he doesn't go on that often and since this is his first time performing the role on Broadway (right?), the show itself and other performances are still worth it. Plus, you might want to go back a second time after you see it tomorrow and you'll get to see Bobby anyway. If Alice or Aaron were out, on the other hand, I probably wouldn't want to see the show though, especially if it was my first time. No offense to the other performers.

I wonder what his chemistry is like with Alice in the rest of the cast.

He won't win the Tony.

If you know him well enough to call him Bobby, wait.

Just got back from seeing N2N's matinee. I had never seen the show before nor really listened to any of the tracks from the show. Michael Berry, as well all know, went on for "Dan" He was wonderful. Going in, having no bias and really no knowledge of the way the character is supposed to be portrayed, I thought he was especially touching and had a great set of pipes. He even looks more like Aaron Tveit, than J Robert Spencer. Although I didn't really think the show was "out of this world" or uber unique, I thought everyone in the cast gave incredible performances. Like, seriously. Everyone was damn good! I definitely left the theater feeling moved and enjoyed. My two favorites in the cast were Michael Berry and Louis Hobson (amazing acting and impeccable voice.) I also think that at times, Aaron is too good to be true. Talent and looks? Ugh.

Saw the matinee today too. I had no bias going in either and I really, really enjoyed Michael's performance.Definitely a stand-out for me as well.

Sometimes understudies can be just as good or maybe better

We saw Victor Victoria when Andrews was out. Her US was Anne Runalfdson. Having seen Andrews on the DVD, Runalfson was just as good as Andrews.

Definitely NOT the case with LBB's frequent understudy in Legally Blonde, but definitely the case with Mr. Berry in N2N. He was a delight!

Glad to hear Michael was good!
