In a show like this, with such high-profile actors, if one of them is out, you can get a refund.

Why not though. Understudies are often just as good and sometimes even better than the "big names". I suppose I could understand if one the them were perhaps your absolute FAVORITE actor....otherwise, I don't ever worry about WHO's playing the part.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I personally would never ask for a refund. I'd be upset if one of them were out, but experience has taught me that many understudies are better than the actual person playing that role. But in some cases people mostly want to see those actors performing the material, in which case I could understand wanting a refund.

I believe Gandolfini's standby has gone on once, when Gandolfini lost his voice in previews.

I'm pretty that preview performance was cancelled when Gandolfini was ill.
