Last night I was bummed because I couldn't get to [tos]. I was sure that Benjamin would go on (he's never gone on, even at the Vineyard) to give Jeff another day of recovery.
I'm surprised Jeff did the show. I would have liked to have experienced Ben's version of Jeff.
actually, I'm pretty sure benjamin went on a few times at the vineyard. For both Jeff AND Hunter, I think.
Wow! I'm amazed that he went on...how did he do Die, Vampire when they all pick up Susan?? One MORE reason you gotta love these guys.
I was at the show last night and he did a FANTASTIC job. He is such a trooper. Obviously, he wasn't jumping around too much and if you looked close enough, he was definitely favoring his other leg. But all in all, he did great! It would've have been fun to see Benjamin, though - according to the cast, they weren't sure who'd be going on until almost 7.
Just another message wishing Jeffy a speedy recovery.
Jeff did go on last night, but they changed the blocking during Die, Vampire, Die, so that Heidi was the one at the bottom picking up Susan's feet. It was the only change to the blocking that I noticed.

Benjamin definitely went on at the Vineyard. I think the previous poster is correct and he went on for both Hunter and Jeff. I know one of them had their wisdom teeth out during the run. It's in the blog somewhere back during the Vineyard run about Benjamin and Courtney going on.
I had never heard that Benjamin went on at the Vineyard, so that info is good to know. I am sorry not to have seen him the many times I was there.
Courteny definitley went on for Heidi at the Vineyard.

Thank God Jeff is going on again! You don't know how bored I get seeing GYPSY every night of the week. Now I can see [tos] without any understudies.
