Wait, hold up, has Josie not always had the short hair?! She looks amazing with it!  Have a look at the production pics on the website and you'll see. I like both looks actually. She had the long hair too when she was on as Abuela. I assumed it was a wig because it was after the Oliviers where she had the short blonde look. (When I saw Josie as Abuela, they used Eve's picture for the awning - it just about worked. It really won't work now with Norma as the picture looks so much like her and nothing like Josie.) |

It looks like Sam was back earlier. Were Lily and Joe back too? Very odd that they were all given a lot of the same time off. I mean, they coped, but they wouldn't have been able to if one man had gone sick on Tuesday night and they only had one 'spare' woman.

Joe has been off sick just like Lily (not sure if either are back) so not a case of giving all of them the same time off.

I hope Lily gets back soon. I'm proper anti-Joe now. Haha.

I hope Lily gets back soon. I'm proper anti-Joe now. Haha. Poor Joe! Haha. He's my favourite Benny out of all I've seen (Broadway and London). I just love his take on the role - bit cocky but likable. And that voice! But then I think the whole current London cast is so talented and it's great everyone has their favourites.  |

It seems Sarah Naudi was Nina last night.
I didn't realise they were both sick as they both went on holiday around the same time.

Yes, Sarah was Nina. I believe Joe was back though.
Johnny is playing Sonny until Sunday. David Badella will still be off this week so hopefully we will get another update next week. Wishing him and his family well. I believe Spin is still Piragua Guy meaning Reiss is Grafiti Pete while Michael is injured.

First of all, I want to thank this board for making me aware of this show.
Saw it last night (Sunday the 15th) and the subs/replacements were:
Sarah Naudi - Nina
Vas Constanti - Kevin
Johnny Bishop - Sonny
Spin - Graffiti Pete
Michael Cortez - Piragua Guy
Courtney-Mae Briggs - Carla
Terrific show! The performances, singing, dancing, etc., were all top notch. The only issue I had with the piece had nothing to do with this production, but rather with the material. I found the book to be rather wonky: First a lot of small, loosely-connected character scenes, and then three almost-simultaneous BIG game-changing events. I just didn't feel the show earned the emotions it was trying to evoke in the second act.
None of this prevented me from being extremely impressed & thoroughly enjoying it, but it was just enough to keep the musical itself from being in my top rank.

I see that ATG Tickets are no longer selling tickets for In The Heights. The official ticket agent is now "KX Tickets" sold through their own website. They also look like they've pulled the show from TodayTix.
Anyone know what's happened. Must have been a recent change?
Also, any good sources to prebook decent seats at a discount for my next visit? I was relying on the ATG Tickets site with their standard promo codes, as well as some good deals thrown up by the dynamic pricing, but that's all disappeared now with the site change.

I have brought my In the Heights tickets from LoveTheatre... it has been discounting at 42% off for the past few months now. |

I asked TodayTix and they said they should have tickets available again soon. No idea how reliable that info is though.
Edit: The show is back on sale at TodayTix now. :-)

Would love to see Jocasta as Daniela but can't make it those days. I love Philippa though so am never disappointed to see her!
Sam hasn't been back long.

I'm going on Saturday. Have seen neither Michael's Usnavi nor Jocasta's Daniela. Looking forward to this.

Last minute change because Jocasta has to do Camilla for the next few days meaning that 2nd cover Sarah Naudi now has to play Daniela and Courtney is on as Carla until Sunday!  |

I was going to say it was a risk. Is Norma or Josie off?

From tonight's castboard, I finally remembered to take a photo of it: Usnavi - Michael Cortez Nina - Gabriela Garcia Daniela - Sarah Naudi Kevin - Vas Constanti Camila - Jocasta Almgil Piragua Guy - Spin Carla - Courtney-Mae Briggs I thought Cortez was pretty good as Usnavi, and Gabriela Garcia was really great at Nina - very good singing and excellent acting. I thought Sarah Naudi was good as Daniela, though probably less good than Philippa was when I saw her, I thought her comic timing was impeccable. I did think the show suffered a bit from so many people being off - 13 in total again. Particularly the Blackout scene feels small, and the finale. I wish they just had a couple more covers/swings. But loved it once again |

Wow it's amazing how they get by with so many cast missing all the time. I saw they had a show last week with only one Ensemble (Reiss).
