Does anyone know if Alan's first show of Spamalot is today? If so, had anyone gone and can give a review on his performance?

When Azarria returns, most or all of the original cast may be gone

Hank Azaria is, I believe, returning around Thanksgiving. Tim Curry, David Hyde Pierce and probably the featured players are contracted through December 21st.

Someone on "the other board" said John Bolton was on tonight. Apparently Alan doesn't start until tomorrow. (?) The person posting also said Sara was out again.

John Bolton was GREAT as Azaria/Tudyk's understudy. I had seen Azaria perform the role in previews and love him and I was VERY impressed with John's performance. The audience loved him.
VERY different than the response for Sara's understudy.
Also, he threw in this great line as the Knight of Ni.. I don't remember it fully but something like- "I'm not the guy from the Simpsons, he's gone for a while" and Curry and Hyde-Pierce were cracking up.. everyone was laughing for a while. It was priceless.
Ps. Why would Alan not be in on his first day? Could he not be ready? Is that possible?

I'm seeing Spam again on July 19th and I'm bringing a friend with me and I hope that by then, Ramirez is in and Tudyk as well. My friend that's coming, I had first said that we might be seeing Robin Williams, but when I told him that it was Alan Tudyk, he was disappointed by it.

I had to google who Alan Tudyk was, but I realized who he is and I love that guy!:) I somehow missed out on the Hank's replacement thing, but I'm glad its in good hands.

Same, I am going July 20th and told my grandmom we might see Robin, and she got disappointed. Once I explained who Alan is, she got over it and enjoyed who they picked.

I was at the show last night (Wed) and Bolton was still filling in. I thought he did very well! I also saw him understudy for Tim Curry when I saw the show for the first time a few weeks ago. He did well then too, but I'm such a Curry fanatic I couldn't accept Bolton in the part. My own prejudice.

I was in the lobby of the Shubert Saturday, and Alan was on the cast list, Hank was not. The only understudy posted was Sara's, and they took that down while I was there.

I googled Alan and I still don't know who he is.

Don't worry, most people on this board don't know who he is, not to mention the "normal" people.

I went to the show today (Wednesday, 2:00) and Alan was in the role. He was absolutely superb, and fit the role very well. He is certainly an excellent actor. He was also very kind to me when I went looking for autographs after the show! He did a great job.

John Bolton stands by for Lancelot too? I saw him as King Arthur and he was excellent. From listening to Tim Curry on the CD, I think I prefer Bolton vocally, at least. And he's cuter. :)

My friend and I had front row seats for Saturday (I was in A101...yes, that A101) and Alan was superb. We came in missing Hank Azaria, and then my friend goes, Holy SH*T! It's Steve the Pirate! Needless to say, I loved the show, and meeting Alan was very cool.
