Releasing a statement to say X won't be performing ZZZ performances for medical reasons is a breach of confidentiality, irrespective of whether you define the medical reasons. Please read what I put very carefully. I read it, and your statement is incorrect. |

Everyone is making assumptions. She may be ill. She may be caring for a dying family member. Neither she or the producers are required (nor in some circumstances would it be appropriate) to comment on the situation.

Taking the reins for cast 3? Might not last that long, business could well take a dive without star names at these prices...

I am sure Eddie and Jessie will come back into the show, when the box office needs a boost.

Didn't they say the exact opposite, or have I misunderstood? Releasing a statement to say X won't be performing ZZZ performances for medical reasons is a breach of confidentiality, irrespective of whether you define the medical reasons. But they said "It wouldn't have needed any statement as to the reasons behind the change". Nothing about medical anything. I understand your point had it been made, but it hadn't, and in fact the author of the post seems to be agreeing with your view, as do I. Are you sure you perhaps haven't misread the post? |

They have some nerve to advertise on FB that thousands of Tix are released from £30.
Just looked for a ticket in July.. yes JULY on a Monday or Tuesday night thinking I’d do a visit with Dalmatians at the OAT. Very very cheapest up in the nosebleeds is £70 and we don’t even know who will be in it.
Seriously, get stuffed.
Looked again at October. Same.

I never said she had to do ALL shows. My God, the way some people on this board put words in others’ mouths is insufferable. Consistently missing shows with no notice is a lot different than missing occasionally or taking a leave of absence. And yes, if I could no longer perform the functions of my job, I would resign or take a leave of absence until I could. Well if you aren't saying she had to do all shows then why do you have a problem with her for having an arrangement that she only does some, which seems from the pattern of shows she did in the last couple of months to have been the case? Clearly she could function to do the job part time so what is the problem with her doing so? If your ire is due to a lack of transparency then that is on the producers and has nothing to do with her doing some but not all of the shows. It is rather elitist to say you would resign if you couldnt work - clearly you are lucky enough to have enough money to do so, but not everyone is that fortunate, so that sort of attitude does nothing to help many people. And you claim you aren't saying she should have to do all shows or none, so I am rather confused as to why you also seem to be saying a leave of absence is the only other option. Why are you so against the idea that an employer might dare to make adjustments for an employee so that they can do part of their job even if they are not fit enough in some way to do it all? If an employer makes an adjustment, fine. If an employer makes an adjustment and that adjustment affects paying customers, it should be discussed. I've said this about ten thousand times in this thread and frankly don't feel like carrying on anymore talking in circles. Good day. |

If that's the case, that's surely a thing in the UK and not here because actors are announced as being on a "medical leave" or "out by doctor's orders" all the time. So, I apologize if I've misunderstood that. |

I think that this answers my question although I’m unsure how to book them. |

Why are you so against the idea that an employer might dare to make adjustments for an employee so that they can do part of their job even if they are not fit enough in some way to do it all? And no, I don't have much money in the bank right now and am struggling to make rent. So, no, it isn't elitism. It's just how I feel - that if I'm incapable of doing the job (not one day here and there, but multiple days in a working week), I should figure out why, take a leave, maybe even move over so someone who CAN do the job gets it done. I've said multiple times I think it's more on the producers, but to a certain point, it's also on her. I still think she's a sensational talent. But I think her attendance in this limited run was atrocious and makes me question her commitment and professionalism. I'm allowed to have that opinion. And you're allowed to have yours. Apologies also for the multiple posts. I got back after a bit and still am learning how all the notifications on this board work as it's very different than BroadwayWorld's state-side board. (AND FOR A MILLION GOOD REASONS. Seriously, the mods and the design of this board? Chef's kiss.) Enjoy the rest of your weekend! |

Couldn't all this be avoided by just making the understudy an alternate and putting up a notice that says 'At certain performances the role of Sally will be played by x'?
I've followed shows that used to do this without publishing a set schedule, and it just sets expectations. If the understudy is playing that many shows they basically are an alternate at that point anyway.

Row J is premium in every large house that I'm aware of. And you said you're looking for a ticket less that £75. |

Very very cheapest up in the nosebleeds is £70 and we don’t even know who will be in it. Seriously, get stuffed. Looked again at October. Same. The thirty pound tickets for the new cast were released when the new cast was announced. Like anything else they were in demand and sold quickly I imagine. When the next cast is announced the next set of thirty pound tickets for that booking period will be released. |

And they can bore off with that. The whole thing reeks of exploitation from the hiked up prices for the so called stars n the original run, to the hiked up prices for lesser (unknown) actors for this next run. And they want people to pay £70 for a sh*tty seat in July to see some unknown cast.
Nope.
