well, that's from last night, BUT it could also be true for tonight as well. mary is out all week on her vacation and cheyenne might be tired or doing something damn yankees related.

Andre was on for Cheyenne when I went Saturday afternoon, but I was also there yesterday afternoon and Cheyenne was in but Mary was out (Annie was on) as was Kenita (Kate Loprest was on). When I walked by last night around 6:45 on my way to In the Heights, there was no board up at all, so I don't know but it seems they're all over the place this week.
And hang on, when did you win the discus?

I was just saying recently how in the almost 40 times I've seen the show, I've never seen Mary or Tony out. I also haven't seen Ryan go on in forever! Maybe I'll try to get in sometime this week.

Does Curtis start on July 1st? I've got a ticket for another show on July 5th evening, but if Curtis is in place, I may go to the Xanadu matinee.

Mmmmmm -- I'm seeing Liaisons Saturday afternoon -- maybe I should check out Xanadu for Saturday night (assuming I can get a ticket). I thought Kyle was fine as Thalia and there's no limit to the number of times I'm willing to see Cheyenne!!!

i believe curtis' first was tonight, as this morning going to work, his name was already on the understudy board. (i guess they're not putting out for a Curtis Playbill).
i'm sure it was a blast!
i'm going this weekend, saturday and sunday afternoons, to see curtis and patti murin both on as sonny and kira. if you haven't seen patti as kira, you're missing out!

Saw the show this afternoon. Patti & Curtis were adorable. They sounded great together. Curtis was my first Sonny so it was good to see him again. It was my second time seeing Patti as Kira/Clio and she was really, really great! During Jackie's ad-lib, she comes up to the guy sitting next to me who had Chinese characters on his shirt and said "What's on here like Chinese writing or something...is it a menu.?" Oh gosh I died. Curtis's mic went out before the "Dude we speak in unison.." line and Mary came out after he had started "The Fall" and handed him a hand mic to which he thanked her for. The whole cast was fantastic and the house was nearly sold out. Ryan said that they weren't expecting it to be so full.
Good times. If you can go see Patti & Curtis together. They are great!
Curtis also said that its not definite that he's going back to his original roles when Cheyenne comes back.

Apparently I'm the only one today who noticed the new Tony Roberts line to Curtis? "Last time I saw a guy that looked like you, he was trying to sell me a nickel bag. I still don't know what is..." I was the one on stage who cracked up before he even finished the like, it so threw me off guard!
Is it weird to totally fall in love with a show all over again? The show, while in great shape post-Tonys, got an extra boost today with Curtis and Patti as Sonny and Kira. With due respect to Kerry and Cheyenne, there was an entirely new energy to the show today. Maybe it was the (wonderfully) full house, maybe because the cast really felt like it was putting out its fullest energy to support Curtis and Patti (and Kate and Ryan), maybe it was Curtis' finale shorts...but it was a fantastic afternoon.
Patti and Curtis' strengths, besides the skating ability, is in all the little moments they create for their characters, and their different take on their jokes and giving the throwaway lines some uumph! Finally, I wasn't the only one laughing on "She's one foxy lady." and "A few actually humiliating..." And they sing and dance great. And yes, there were some extra cutesy moments between them, but it made it all the more special. And the audience was eating them up!
Special kudos to Kate and Ryan, who did a great job as always - but it's always nice to see such a different combination of faces on stage, gives the show a whole new energy.
