I'm not sure why the OP finds this "shocking". It's not like Brightman suddenly became an A-list movie star in the six months since he left the show.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

How often do you hear of an OBC member rejoining the show after less than 6 months, only to appear in it for half a month? It's not like they couldn't rotate the understudies in those two week.

Neither have any of the other Tony Award winners or nominees from last season.
I'm not surprised by this because I knew it was happening.
I would be shocked if an announcement was made this morning that Lin, Cynthia, Christopher, Danielle, etc were going back to their shows effective tomorrow
"
It would be "shocking" if Cynthia and Danielle went back into their show tomorrow...since it's closed.
Obviously we know you have a personal connection to this show and perhaps you think I was mocking Brightman (I wasn't at all), so you responded flippantly. I just find it odd that we're acting like it was just announced that Hugh Jackman is jumping into a Broadway show and not the guy who was playing the part every night until recently.

All that means is that he has two weeks free and he's doing them a favor. It's not that different from Michael C. Hall jumping back into HEDWIG for a week when John Cameron Mitchell hurt himself.

^James Monroe Iglehart did it just last weekend for Aladdin. NYC + NYC suburb living Elphabas and Christine Daes do it from time to time. It's not that uncommon. I'm sure we'll start hearing similar stories for other long running demanding shows (aka Hamilton) as well.

And one of the local Matildas filled in when all 3 of the little maggots got sick at once.
Ken Watanabe filled in for Hoon Lee, but he was scheduled to takeover anyway.
That explains why the marquee outside the Jacobs now says "Bandstand."
Thanks for telling me. It was driving me crazy trying to figure out what was happening there. "
Well then, why on earth would you post about "Cynthia" or "Danielle" (and it's great that you're on a first name basis with all of these folk) coming back? Seems like kind of a silly comment, no?
I haven't made it to SOR yet... (have wanted to, just haven't found the time and my Sunset obsession has been getting in the way) but this might push me to move things around. I was sorry to have missed Brightman who I heard was amazing in this.
I wonder if Alex is planning on joining SOR on tour?
