When is Mr. Grey coming back?

I understand that Joel Gray has taken a medical leave from the show but when will he be back? I am going the 29th.

---

I've heard he is going to be out for the next month

---

He has chronic bronchitis.

Ha. Now to try and block that image out of my head. Speaking of Mr. Grey, has he EVER come out to sign autographs since he has done WICKED? Everytime i was there he didnt come out, people around me were like 'wheres joel' very disappointed when they realized he slipped out w/o signing.

"the man is like 72...give hima break "

Well if you read my post I am not the one complaining that he doenst come out. I simply asked if he ever does. Everytime i went he hasnt come out and i was wondering if he ever does. It is a shame that people who are huge fans of Joel Grey dont get a chance to meet him and congratulate him on his performance. If he doesnt come out thats ok, but if he DOESNT they should at least tell the people outside waiting 'joel doesnt come out' so they dont have to stand in that mosh pit of 15 yr olds trying to get a picture with Kristin for no reason.
