it's quite possible her u/s will be going on. That would be 5 days of rehearsals for her u/s, so I see no reason why either Cearcy or Iman won't be ready by Friday night.

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.

It sounds to me that the producers have determined that either Audra will be well enough to perform Friday night or the understudy will be prepared to go on, so that either way the Friday night performance can proceed. I suspect that whether it will be Audra or the understudy will be a last minute decision.

it's a shame with their hiatus coming up that they couldn't add in a performance or two. They'll only play tomorrow night & two shows on Saturday. They should of been able to add a performance next Friday, April 1, at least.

They DID add a performance for next Friday. It said so in the release.

If that's the case then why would they want to be open the entire summer when Audra will be in London doing lady day?

Because they'll have someone to replace her by then, Jorge. A name.

because they are getting another name to replace her for that hiatus as has been discussed her for several months

We have tickets for the April 2 matinee. I very much hope Audra is better by then, she's the main reason we're going.

Very thoroughly researched article by John Jeremiah Sullivan in the NY times this morning on the long journey to the stage of Shuffle Along and black performers and performance in general. A must read.

None of that is new, it's just the NYT posting it late.

I have a friend at the show tonight and they've got the new Playbills in case anyone's curious.

Audra is in fact back tonight, not noticing any effects of her illness fortunately. First act clocked in at 1:25 so perhaps further trimming has occurred although there is no song list in these dreadful new Playbills.

VERY interesting that there is not song list in the new Playbills... As much as I disliked the the show that I saw at the second preview, I will forever be grateful for my Playbill that I received.

I disliked the show as well. It is down to 2:55, but I think the book was the major problem for me, some great dance numbers, but collectively I could not wait for it to end. Hope they can do some significant rework during the off week as there is too much wasted talent here.

The added April 1st performance is no longer showing up on Telecharge for me - any ideas why?
