If Nancy goes on, I will mame every effort to see her. I've seen Glenn twice, will be a third time, but I would love to see what she does with it. 

I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.

Same here. I've been lucky enough to see Glenn a few times in this production, and I'm grateful to see her amazing performance every time. But I totally wouldn't mind seeing Nancy, who is 45 now, so it does not seem like a far reach for the role.

Ouch, on Mother's Day too. Can't imagine all the upset people who had tickets for today.

Kudos to her, but I can totally hear the illness in her voice, and not only Glenn, but a few other people also sounded under the weather."

It surprises me that someone in a role of this nature would go on, knowing that they are ill, because the character is required to get quite up-close-and-personal with Joe Gillis. I would think there'd be concern about her spreading it to Joe, who would then spread it to Betty, who would then spread it to Artie, and so on.

Personally, I would love the chance to see Nancy Anderson as Norma....just saying.

Fascinated to hear reports of anyone that was there about how the scene was at the theater. What a terrible day to have this happen, as I'm sure the audience was filled with mothers and their families expecting to see Glenn Close.

I would imagine many audience members would've rather the show been canceled and seen another show altogether than see her understudy perform in what's ultimately a severely mediocre production. That's just my thoughts, though...

I have to agree. Seeing this show without Glenn would be so disappointing, as talented as Nancy is of course. Are they letting people who stay return for free?

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

I got to catch it, and there was a longer than usual line for boxoffice exchange/refund, I suppose.

But Nancy is great and she gives a very different interpretation, which I really appreciate! The audience is very supportive and responsive- applaud as loud as when Glenn was in the role at the end of every Norma song.

On the other hand, Michael seems to have a pretty serious foot injury. He limped heavily throughout the whole 2.5 hr. Probably b/c it's already an understudy as Norma, they would not get another understudy to go on for Joe.

Considering she's never missed a show before, why wouldn't it be "a longer than usual line"?

Of cause there would. I'm not surprised. I just hope Glenn has a speedy recovery!
