Karen Mav taking over interval... What's the problem this time? Seriously I can see huge issues with reliability of performers going forward, and I don't blame that on the performers! |

Seems like the audience get 2 lotteries at this show. One for front row tickets and another for who is on stage.

Candace Furbert was on as Lorell last night. She's the 1st cover Effie after all the alternates

How long before we have more "technical difficulties" at the Savoy I wonder. This thread is shaping up nicely  |

I'm glad Candace got on as Lorell because, even though she is 1st cover Effie, she probably won't be able to go on as Effie due to there being 3 alternates in the way! |

Seems a severe case of In The Heights-itis going round. Kidding. Although, they don't have any former cast members to call on if they were to fall short at any point.

Stage manager came on and said 'Amber has been taken ill during the interval' - no further explanation This is why one should always attend a press night or the very last preview for a major musical Once they have opened they start fiddling about all over the place |

Karen Mav on again today as Effie.
They should really give Amber 2 shows off a week and TELL the audience what days she won't be on then she can relax on 2 shows a week (like Bev in TB)
Also if she had two shows off then both Karen and Ruth could play the role once a week instead of once a fortnight

Starting to sound like Ruth has been dropped, surely? |

I do feel for Ruth. She should've been on my now. That's why I couldn't see point in bringing in a third alternate from America - will se even be able to perform? Effie has an understudy too but I'm glad she got to go on as Lorell yesterday as doesn't look like she'll get on as Effie? Honestly just give Amber an extra day off and allow BOTH alternates to perform each week. |

Does anyone know if Amber came back yesterday/today or is it still Karen?

I know it is upsetting when an understudy is on for a role you want to see the original performer play (Amber) but how is Karen in the role?
