I've wanted to see this show since it opened in London. Last night, I got my chance. I was blown away. I LOVED IT!!!

Trent was Billy, and David was Michael. Understudies were in for both Mum and Grandma, but it was still great.

Best of all, my boyfriend, who brought me, LOVED it! He was stunned, which is great.

Who did you see as Mum? Seems strange that Kerry O'Malley should be out a few days after joining the cast.

They are putting Kerry as an understudy, I saw the board the other day and she was listed there. They did the same thing for Blake when he filled in for Thommie.

Exactly. So, I guess she wasn't an understudy, then, but they haven't had the Playbill changed yet.

Kerry has a sweet voice, but she and Haydn weren't *quite* up to speed with each other during "The Letter." They probably just haven't worked out all of the kinks yet.

Has Tessa Netting been in the show lately? Her twitter mentioned that she had a high fever and hates the "swine flu".

Does anyone know when Kate Henning's opening night is?

Just asking, no reason. Curious i guess. Did you like it? Is Kelly good?

Tessa has not been in the show but on Trent's website there are pictures of her at 6 flags and at a pool. She doesnt look sick to me so..

You can see you yourself though.

The roller coaster they are on, El Toro, is amazing. I was there yesterday, just felt like sharing. It happens to be higher than most of the other roller coasters there but I don't feel like correcting him on his website.

Thank God they made public. It took them awhile. I wonder if he is going to do three shows a week like he did with Mermaid. His photo from BWW seems alot more mature for Michael which is great, the others look like he can be small boy.

Trent will be Billy for another six months.

Broadwaygirl:

I LOVED it! It was my second time seeing it, the first time from the 41 dollar seats, and this time I was in Orchestra row E. It was insanely amazing how much it changed the show. While I loved it both times, seeing it from ten feet away, and the power of such scenes as the Letter, and Angry Dance is just incredible. I saw David A. and B. last time, and this time it was Tommy and Keean, so it was cool to see different people (although David A. did come out the stage door, so he must have been the standby Billy...anybody know what the things on his arms are for?). Trent was on as the Tall and Posh Boy (and it may have just been an off day for him, but he really didn't seem thrilled to be in the show as a different character...even at the stage door he was kinda "eh". The understudy for Grandma was on (I did see Carole last time, so I wasn't completely upset about that) and she was hysterical. Kerry was really good as Mum. It kind of seemed like she and Haydn hadn't had quite enough rehearsal time with their song yet, but it was still great.

I have to go to work now. Maybe more thoughts later.

Is there a reason Kiril has been out an entire week? Since last Wednesday, they've rotate just two Billys (Trent and Tommy). Any reason for that?

I can't be sure about Kiril, but when I saw it Saturday with Tommy as Billy and Trent as Tall/Posh boy, David also came out of the stage door, but he had a thing on each arm. I am not sure what they are called, those black things that some people get after they've had a cast on, or if they've sprained their arm...I am not sure if anyone has any idea what I am talking about...haha

Sure sounds like David A. has some kind of injury.
