i've seen lots of people on these boards asking if principals are out in a show they have tickets to. i haven't seen another thread yet that lists if people are out so i thought i'd start one. if there already is one, i apologize...

now on to MY question

i have a ticket to 'legally blonde' tonight - does anyone know if any of the principals (especially orfeh, LBB, or annaleigh ashford) are out tonight??

thanks!

They are cancelling the show tonight and showing the Hairpsray Sing Along print instead.

Why does your subject header say "any show" when clearly, you do specify one show in your question?

I think this is meant to be an all inclusive principals thread.

I would like to know if anyone knows when Leslie Kritzer will be out of A Catered Affair.

Michael Rupert (Professor Callahan) will be out of the show all weekend.

As I posted on Mary Poppins love thread, Daniel Jenkins (Mr. Banks) may be out tonight (he was out last night).

Laura will be out tonight and probably tomorrow as well. The box office said "for personal reasons" today when I stopped by tolook for tickets this weekend.

Just to let you know, in the event of Ms. Bundy's absence, Annaleigh plays the role of Elle.

My niece attends Grant Elementary School in Dumon, NJ. Does anyone know if the principal is out?

He is. A today's educational institution the roles normally played by Principal Thomas will be played by HDThoreau2.

Kringas, Leslie will be missing the performance of "Catered Affair" every second to last odd Thursday of the month. Hope that helps!!

I just called the Palace Box Office and according to them, there are no understudies on that she knows of.

Can someone actually clarify if this is true or not?

Yeah, same here. I would love to catch Annaleigh and if Laura's out, she would definitely be on tonight since Becky is on vacation all week.

That's funny, I heard Chico was going to be out tonight "for personal reasons." I was hoping to catch his understudy tonight, but does anyone know if Teddy or Booboo is going on for him? Because I'd go to see Booboo, but I've heard Teddy is a real son of a bitch.

Just past the Winter Garden earlier today. Barbra Streisand is out tonight at FUNNY GIRL. Don't know if Lainie Kazan is doing tonight's show or the 2nd understudy.

Gwen Verdon is on vacation at SWEET CHARITY, so Helen Gallagher has been filling in for her all week.

Shelley Bruce is doing tonight's performance and tomorrow's matinee in ANNIE. Andrea McArdle will be back for tomorrow night's performance (per the Alvin Theatre box office).

Several others are also out. Weird.

the only major understudy was kevin pariseau as professor callahan (truthfully i didn't like him all that much...but that's just my opinion).
everyone else was on and the show was WONDERFUL as usual
