I've gotten word from a friend that Taylor is going on tonight...weird since he isn't supposed to start yet! If anyone is there tonight please post about how he does!

I saw a post on Instagram that says there’s a playbill insert with his name.

Kind of self-explanatory, no?

It's a soft opening.

I meant does it mean that he is staying in the show, I’m seeing it on Saturday

so is he starting a week early?

[bwayluver??]

Posted: 1/30/18 at 9:24pm

That’s what I’m wondering

There are reports that he is splitting the week with Noah however I haven’t heard that from any official source and even if it is true I dunno what performances that would mean he would be on for.

So Taylor is doing 3 shows, Noah 3 & Michael his normal 2?

According to Playbill Taylor will go on January 31 and February 1 evening shows and the February 3 matinee.

It's not like he's popping in once a week and disappearing.

I wonder why though

From the looks of it, Michael Lee Brown was on for Jared. If the other young male standby was sick and Noah Galvin was out, there would not have been enough people to cover all the roles without Trensch.

Interesting. Well, for anyone interested, there are still some great/amazing $199 seats available on Telecharge for all of those shows.

I still find it odd that, originally, it was officially announced that Taylor would take over in mid-January (I know it's not mid-January, it's late January, but January nonetheless) , and Noah himself said that he was in the show until January 28, here:

Is it possible that this week's strange schedule was planned, and was not a last-minute change?

Oh that’s possible!

Producers have a tendency not to give a crap about last performances.  I remember that right before the tour of Spring Awakening went out, some of the current b'way cast was in it and they were pulling them like crazy for tour rehearsals.  (Might have only been Blake Bashoff, but not sure.)

For those curious, Noah is on as Evan today. Not sure about tonight.

There's no set schedule as for who's doing what show as Noah called what's going on this week "Evan Roulette"

That seemed more like a joke to me
