For some reason the real love thread won't work so I will make another. Who is tonight and what other understudies are there?

Wed eve: Trent/David B.
Sorry, don't have the info for all the u/s, but I doubt anything's changed.

Leah was on as Mrs. W at the evening show. I don't remember the rest, I only glanced on my way by.
And hang on, when did you win the discus?

Hey! I was just curious, for all of you that have seen the show a bunch of times, have you gone to the SD every time, or at least several times, and if so have any of the cast members ever recognized you? My sister and I only went twice and Erin Whyland already recognized us!

I didn't ask about strush, a friend had gotten ahold of two orch tickets, but I would imagine so. There were definitely still some unsold PVs in the mezz that I could see.

Anyone have any clues as to who I would be seeing at Saturday's matinee?
And I noticed Hadyn has been out for an extended length of time...and since the old thread is not working, I can't seem to research why. Is she injured or ill?

Does anybody know when the Billys' current contracts are up? I thought I heard April but can't remember. Thanks.

NJgirl, the rotation that seemed to be in place up until last week would probably have you seeing Trent on Saturday afternoon, but things got unpredictable at the end of the week, so who knows?
I was going to try to get there on Saturday, too, but I mangled my glasses beyond repair and wouldn't be able to see a thing even if I went. :[ So maybe next week.
But that reminds me: is there student rush some weeks and not others? And what exactly is the student rush? ~$40 for a seat in the rear mezzanine, or am I confused?

Student rush is basically whatever 81.50 range seats they have left over two hours before curtain on Tues/Wed/Thurs shows. Generally most seats are in the rear mezz, sections 2, 3, and 4, though I've ended up in the partial view front mezz sections before too. It just depends on how the show is selling, and whether or not they have tickets left over on those days.
The rotation's been really wacky lately with Tommy covering Tall Boy some nights and Frank being out and all, so it really is anyone's guess.

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but what is SD?
I'm not sure when the contracts of the Billy's are up, but I do know that the next kids who will play Billy have already been chosen. I know that one of the boys lives in Bay City, Michigan, but that's about it (I heard it from the teacher who's going to teach him tap).

I think the boys will be here at least until the Tonys.

Thanks for the replies. I had a feeling I wouldn't know until I got to the Imperial on Saturday.

Oh, yeah I'm sorry I didn't clarify - by SD I was indeed referring to the stage door

If Alex is, and Frank is still with the show when he joins...
they're going to look a lot alike on stage.

Tommy again? Very neat for him, but I hope everything's okay with David...

What is wrong with David? I feel bad, I hope he gets better soon! Does anyone have any predictions for the rest of the week expecially Saturday night?

Tommy has to be exhausted. It seems like he's on in some capacity every five minutes.
And hang on, when did you win the discus?

Saw the 3/31 performance (our first time) and loved every minute of it. I wasn't prepared to be so thrilled and delighted with this show. I've seen 9 to 5 in Los Angeles, and Billy Elliot is much much better.

Glad to hear you liked it, Huey's Pop, especially since you already can compare it to 9 to 5 :)
