It was announced on Broadway understudies earlier that Kiira Schmidt was going on tonight as Reno Sweeney. Not sure if this was her first time in the role, as the usual understudy, Tari Kelly recently left the production. Did anyone see Kiira? If so, how was she? Thanks.

I hadn't realized she left FOLLIES. She basically stole "Buddy's Blues."

Yes, she more or less went from Follies to Anything Goes when Kristen Beth Williams left to do Nice Work. Anything Goes has four former Follies cast members.
