Where can we find out if Craig is off tonight? Keep an eye on the West End Understudies Twitter feed. Still nothing. Girl take the night off and get some rest if you’re still sick! There is a two show day tomorrow and I think the audience would prefer one strong vocalist for the whole show than an incapacitated star for a whole, or half a show. Maybe speaking just for myself though 😂 |

I've just messaged West End Understudies Twitter as I've just checked at the theatre.
Jennifer on for Bobbie tonight, Grant Neal on for David, Jamie Pruden on for Jenny.

Yay. Knew it’d be likely! Can’t wait to see how she is.

I honestly think Jennifer is better than Rosalie. She is a much stronger and more emotional singer (although probably could use a tiny bit of extra rehearsal - even though I can tell she has really thought extensively about these songs and acting scenes). She might not quite feel as warm and loving as Rosalie but there is an emotional edge to many of the scenes that Rosalie didn’t have either, in my opinion.

After failing to get a ‘Come From Away’ rush today, I lucked out on a rush for this!
My 2nd time, so good to be in a better seat this time!
Thought Jennifer was fantastic but yes I very much missed ‘Tick Tock’!!
Fantastic yet again however!!

Third time for me tonight and like a good scotch this show has gotten even better with age. Patti is having more fun with Joanne and “Ladies Who Lunch” stopped the show to rapturous applause.
Only been to matinee performances previously but the very full house tonight seemed to be more alive and responsive than the audience last December.
Sat in Stalls row E, I much preferred the view to that of row B previously.
Jennifer plays a different Bobbie to Rosalie, slightly more resentful of her company’s suggestive efforts, particularly in the club scene. Her performances of the songs were strong if maybe slightly flat at times but a really enjoyable, slightly different interpretation of the role.
Official word from staff is the Tick-Tock is omitted because there aren’t enough females in the ensemble to perform it properly. This figures as the ensemble during Another Hundred People does indeed consist mostly of males.
Goddamn I love this show. Still noticing little gems of glory throughout, Harry’s “What the F..” being one.

I’m not one to do that normally but I had to make an exception because I think for Jennifer’s sake some record of his doing the show is nice. In any case, no idea who that person is but looking at their posts I think they need to find some happiness in their life. Jesus.

They just don't have the stamina these days. Is Patti the only lead who hasn't missed a show yet? That's 69 year old Patti LuPone. 8 shows a week and never spilt a drop. Amateurs. Official word from staff is the Tick-Tock is omitted because there aren’t enough females in the ensemble to perform it properly. This figures as the ensemble during Another Hundred People does indeed consist mostly of males. Ooooh, what do I win? What do I win?? Is it a night in with Jonny B and The Fleesh plus an evening stalking Andrew Lloyd Webber with La LuPone? |

I've seen on twitter from audience members, the show ended tonight after You Can Drive a Person Crazy. Jennifer ran off during the song and the show didn't continue after the guys finished the song.

Oh my goodness. I hope they all get better soon.
What’s the protocol when this happens? Do people get their money back? Tickets to another performance?

It's happened to me twice - once at a tiny fringe show and once at a big arena concert and both times there was the option of full refund or ticket for another night. |

Oh my! I hope they get well soon.
As for the audience, I'm sure they'll get offered a refund.
