Posted: 11/20/13 at 9:42amI don't think he actually performed enough times for them to get a photographer in there.

Posted: 11/20/13 at 9:48amBierko does a really good Robert Preston imitation. Beyond that, I can't think of anything substantive to say about him.

Posted: 11/21/13 at 3:28pmOn a side note, the website now lists Natalie Venetia Belcon as Miss Phelps. Karen Alridge is still listed on Playbill though. Anyone else know what's going on with that?

As has been noted in some of the other press outlets, Chris Hoch was only contracted to play Trunchbull for the twelve weeks Craig Bierko was supposed to be on his medical leave. Though there's always a chance they could wind up opting to keep him, I've heard from various people involved with the show that they're actively searching for an outside replacement (a name, if they can get one).
I had no idea Natalie Venetia Belcon joined the cast. She's fantastic.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Yes she is. ^^
Kerry Ingram ..original Matilda from Stratford..tweeted that she is seeing Matilda on Broadway tonight (Saturday) . That must be be a thrill for everyone.
I wonder how different it will seem for her to watch from the audience. I hope someone takes some pictures. From her tweet, it sounds like Sophia is on tonight at Matilda.

playbill doesn't always update as fast as the website does.
When I saw Mormon, Michael Potts was Mafala, however the playbill, and for that matter the big cast list outside the theater still listed Stanley Wayne Mathis in the role.
