Reports are that she is excellent.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Her understudy is terrific! I saw her as well as Holliday's cover, and the only downside is that the chemistry between Celie and Shug isn't really there. I thought maybe it was because it was my first time seeing this production, but my boyfriend saw the original cast and said the same thing.
That was it, though. Everyone up there killed it and it was a wonderful night of theatre. Also, shout out to Martha for being such a friendly & helpful usher, who was on TOP of several people trying to snap photos throughout the performance. I was shocked to notice it was mostly older folks.
I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.

curious if anyone saw the show on Thursday(11/17). Rema Webb was on as Shug. Anyone know if they went back to the original staging for Push Da Button?

I really hope this doesn't mean she's leaving. I have tickets for Dec 9th.

Hmmm... definitely strange. The 3rd is a two-show Saturday, so maybe she was suggesting that there's a greater chance of her being in on a Friday night show...? Unnecessarily cryptic, though, for sure.

Doubtful. She has two dates she's scheduled to be out of towards the end if December, so I'd assume she's with the show until Jan. 8.

I know, that's why I bought tickets feeling confident that she would still be with the show. Hopefully, I'm just being paranoid and nothing has changed. The monkey with his hand over his mouth emoji made it feel like there was unannounced news.

True, but in telling her Twitter fan - who has tickets for Dec. 3 - that she should consider Dec. 2 instead, Erivo does seem to imply at least that she will not be performing Dec. 3. And Dec. 3 isn't one of the dates she's scheduled to be out. So, it appears something is going on that is not reflected in the information Telecharge is giving -- and which is likely to be particularly problematic for me, as I have a ticket to see the show on Dec. 3 and relied on the dates Telecharge indicated (understanding, of course, that unforseen circumstances could lead to Erivo's absence. But if she is currently planning not to perform then, I think the theatre should make that information known now to current and prospective ticketholders).

Well what if they're filming or something on the 2nd? And she's encouraging that person on Twitter to come to the filming...

Well, there you go -
"Heads up I will not be on stage @BwayColorPurple on the 3rd and 4th December, due to prior engagements. Sorry for any inconvenience."

I wonder why these dates aren't listed on Telecharge's list of dates?
And why Holliday suddenly added a week off to her schedule?

Probably just came up and Telecharge hasn't updated. The dates on Telecharge have been there for quite awhile.
It was kind of her to let the people know, who tweeted they were attending on the 3rd.
