"I think it's WAY too soon for any Tour Cast announcements at this point"

Word. I'm just HIGLY excited. To be honest, I am not worried about the tour cast. Hair's creative team is very good at picking the best of the best.


ETA: Happy 700th!!

can anyone comment on the view from SRO? Is it really far away, and do you get a full view of the stage? Thanks!

Is he out today because of his neck still???

I hope he's there friday...

That's what I'm guessing. His Twitter has a message up that sounded like that was the issue. (I hate Twitter, but it's good since people usually either update Twitter or Facebook. Broadway Understudes posted that Jay was on for Gavin) I've had a stiff neck before and sometimes it's a couple of days before you can move it again. It sucks. I hope he feels better soon.

As much as I love Will Swenson, I'm thinking I really want to see Steel as Berger while he's on vacay. Steel is kinda awesome.

I'm suffering from a horrid stiff neck currently. Have been all week. I'm scared to death to drive...I can't imagine the pain to dance.

Poor Gavin.

Hopefully he'll get well soon. Stiffness is a very common problem for Broadway performers and they (usually) recover quickly. Hopefully it will be the same for Gav.

Feel better Gavin!

[TheGentleGiant88]

Hopefully he's relaxing and getting massages and stuff so he can be better for the rest of the weekend. I'm sure Jay is amazing...understudies are always brilliant...but I'm coming from CA to see Gavin!!! But I can't let it ruin the show for me if he's not there. I have faith that he'll be better for friday night!!!!

What I found so awesome was they have a masseuse backstage. I saw that on the tour Will Swenson did with Broadway.com. I'm sure lots of shows do that, but that's the first I've heard of it. Kinda cool. I'm sure they need it badly.

[TheGentleGiant88]

Posted: 7/8/09 at 9:59pm

Oh yeah I thought that was totally cool, too! I'm sure all the shows right now need it...doing all that movement for 8 shows a week! crazy! anyways...i'm praying that he gets better soon and comes back to the show. it sucks having a stiff neck. it's the worst!

I saw Hair for the first time today and absolutely loved it. Jay was great as Claude. Gavin Creel sat on the stairs in the mezz for the show, right by where I was sitting and told my friend that he would be perfroming in tonights show.

Is anyone going to the restaurant week performance today?

[CSonBroadway]

Posted: 7/9/09 at 11:30am

They kind of announced a little too sudden.

[Leia947]

Posted: 7/9/09 at 11:43am

I have to work *sighs* Man, this being an adult and having a job thing takes away from the fun stuff! LOL

[AndAllThatJazz22]

Posted: 7/9/09 at 12:17pm

Why can't I be close to the city?

[AntonEgo]

Posted: 7/9/09 at 12:28pm

I can't go either. If anyone goes, please report back.

[CSonBroadway]

Posted: 7/9/09 at 12:34pm

Even I live in NJ and it is still hard sometimes to get into the city on time.

[Leia947]

Posted: 7/9/09 at 12:50pm

Me too, CSonBroadway! I'm originally from Brooklyn, but now I live about 40 minutes or so outside the city. I'm close to the bus and train, but sometimes I prefer to drive.
If I can ever find a good job in NYC, I'm tempted to move there. I'm more of a city girl than a suburbanite.

[CSonBroadway]

Posted: 7/9/09 at 12:51pm

Same! After I leave the city and arrive back in stupid suburbia, I want to go right back to the city.

[AndAllThatJazz22]

Posted: 7/9/09 at 12:53pm

Suburbia would seem like NYC compared to where I live. There are parts of my town where kids literally hang out at Wal-Mart. I am not even joking.

[Leia947]

Posted: 7/9/09 at 12:55pm

Lord, Jazzy, I'm sooo sorry. Wal-Mart. Ew.

Okay, CSonBroadway, let's go hunt down some jobs and share an apartment! I'm sure we can find a way to share the $50,000 a month it'll cost us! LMAO

Seriously though. I totally am gonna move there one day. I may be 50 before I do, but I'm going to.
