Posted: 7/7/09 at 2:52amThanks ahead of time for your review. i hope you have fun whoever you get. I have a feeling it will be Trent with David B tomorrow. checked the calendar for this month ticket aviability only 8 days with limted aviability and the rest extreme limted aviability. Feels like a soldout summer.

Question:
Why is David now the only listed Michael in the program? I thought this was a shared role as well?
Also, I thought that folks here talked about Tommy not being listed as a "Billy" only as an understudy but as part of the rotation.
Both of these came from the playbill I rec'd from the 7/3 matinee.
PSST....I saw David as my 2nd Billy....I like him every bit as much as Trent (my first Billy) and possibly a bit more.
And no one is "breaking up a family". Santino is leaving of his own free will to pursue another role. It's a business, it happens.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I too will be seeing the Show tomorrow evening. I'll try and say something about Will and the Dad replacement as well. I'm looking very forward to it. I'm curious if the show will lose any emotion for me with two of the star performers absent. Although, I'm a big Will Chase fan, so I'm excited for that anyway. Crossing my fingers for my favorite Billy!

Tommy is not an understudy Billy. He is an alternate as are David A, Kiril and Trent. Tommy is also an understudy Tall Boy but after Trent's recent appearances maybe he should be classed as one as well :)
David B is the only Michael as Frank has now left. Keean is an understudy.

Posted: 7/7/09 at 10:40amI second that BillyWhiz, its funny how often this debate comes up. Though, I suppose playbill billings have been changing so much the last couple months... Its bound to cause confusion. And now that the show is starting to cast replacements, I'm sure it will continue.

"Tommy is not an understudy Billy. He is an alternate as are David A, Kiril and Trent.'
While he is in the regular rotation, contractually he is an understudy.

Fosse....perhaps that is what I was thinking of....but how can they get away with out. Surely, he must be getting paid the same as the other Billys.
He is not LISTED as an understudy in the program....so I would think Equity would be all over this. (I'm just looking for explanations!)

Fosse76 - I bow to someone with far more knowledge than me.
I wonder what will happen when one of the 3 original Billys leave? Will the new Billy become the understudy?

Tonight Bologna and Alvarez and of course Will Chase as Tony. Greg is here! A lot of people said he wouldn't be here tonight. Will is phenomenal almost as if he's been playing the role forever... And ugh! so gorgeous. Will's tone wasn't as intense as Santino's which is a good thing. We all know that Tony is not supposed to be a likable character and Will knows that but he doesn't exaggerate in the most dramatic scenes. He's acting seems more natural. He's accent is very convincing as well. He was flawless in solidarity. I kept watching him the whole time and his dancing in that number was great.

Does anyone know who Kiril's crush is? A girl I work with told me they saw him last friday having dinner with a girl at Blockheads on what appeared to be "a date." They said he dressed up and everything! I know in the past on this thread people had mentioned Trent having a crush, I just wonder if this is something people had heard with Kiril?

Posted: 7/8/09 at 4:50pm...wow. That's not creepy or anything.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Posted: 7/9/09 at 8:11pmYou can only predict if you pay attention to the pattern of the week. Which is not necessarily consistent. The producers are pretty adamant that they don't want a Billy Following.
