Oh, crap. I have too expensive tickets for this Sunday. I'll cry if he's out. Hope he's ok, though. The night before the Tony voting deadline is unfortunate timing to have to miss.

If it makes you feel any better Colton is really good in the role. I saw him tonight and was impressed by how good he was. I believe you can exchange tickets via telecharge if you want to chance a different day to see Ben. Its definitely worth seeing him for sure

Sucks that Ben was out for the final Tony-eligible performance. Hope he's doing okay.

He was in for the Matinee, apparently, so hopefully he just needed the night to rest.

There was no matinee. Just the Thursday night show.

I know, but they're stubhub tickets with a face value way, way below what I paid for them and about half what comparable tickets are selling for now at the box office, so any exchange for comparable seats is going to make the cost of these tickets comparable to the first five rows for Barbra. I was banking on Ben not missing anything until after the Tonys.

His first show after winning the Tony? I certainly hope so, unless they want a very problematic situation at the Music Box.

Good thing Tony ballots are due today!

All joking aside, glad to hear he's taking the time off he needs to heal.

Ugh that sucks. Unfortunately Ben is sick again and getting a lot of (unwarranted) hate for it. He posted this on his twitter. Poor kid is on extreme vocal rest again and may be out till Sunday

Where is he getting hate? Every response I've seen is positive and understanding.

Today they are. Yesterday he was getting a TON of flack for being out. Just like he did Passover weekend when he missed his first performance

When you heavily campaign for a Tony and are the face of a musical, you're gonna get "hate" from overly eager theatre-goers. I'm sure his Tony award will make up for it.

Perhaps they should implement an alternate schedule?

But that doesn't matter, because we're all here. And with all of our differences we have one thing in common. We're all gay.

This is Alice Ripley in n2n all over again. The role is going to destroy his voice. Be careful Ben!

I often post here on my phone, so please excuse issues with grammar, paragraphing and spelling :).

Yikes, I'm curious how he actually is in the show because I didn't like that at all.

He's 23 and healthy. This won't destroy his voice. Soooo dramatic. He is signed until November, he will be just fine.

^What I was thinking....let's not get overly dramatic.
