Jenna Weir and Leila Rose Gross will be joining the show as Young Elsa and Young Anna, respectively, replacing Ayla Schwartz and Mattea Conforti! Both girls will be making their Broadway debut!
Not sure when their first show will be. Jenna’s past credits include the Matilda tour.
Sondheimite, I think you made a lot of valid arguments, some of which I agreed with. However, you lost me with your last comment. You can say that you don't like the number of shows Patti is missing, but it's completely disrespectful to say she's not working as hard as others in her field. You've made it pretty clear you don't like the show, which is fine, but just because you don't like it does not mean the actors in the show don't work as hard as others on Broadw
Totally forgot to post this but congratulations and welcome to Ben Bogen who made his Broadway debut yesterday, October 23, in the ensemble of Frozen! Ben will in the company through December 16 and will also be covering Olaf and Weselton.
He may be filling in for Austin Lesch but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Also if anyone missed it, both Mattea Conforti and Ayla Schwartz will be playing their final performance on November 11
Certainly didn't think this was the direction the thread was going to take . However, I agree with most of you they have missed more shows then maybe they should have.
I don't think I'm as upset as others maybe because I really like this show and this cast. I'm also the kind of person who likes to see understudies so I'm not too upset when someone calls out.

My count might be a little bit off but I believe Patti's missed about 40 shows, and Caissie's missed less than 30 shows. Let me know if you want me to be more specific. I can tell you more!

To clarify: Nobody should be throwing Caissie’s name under the bus. I’ve kept pretty good track of who’s gone on since previews started and Caissie has not missed that many shows. The longest periods of time she has gone without doing a show were either for vacation or her recent throat infection. Patti on the other hand has missed a number of shows. I know she has been public with her struggle with mental health, specifically anxiety and depression, but I don’t know how that plays into her
Forgot to post this but I got lucky and won the ticket lottery on Thursday! Jacob Smith gave a lovely performance in his debut stint as Kristoff. Very different from Jelani and Noah but fit the character very well. As always, Aisha Jackson gives a ravishing performance. Every time she was on stage, it just made me want to smile. She's so radiant and you can really tell she loves what she does.

There's no way of telling for sure, but the odds are slightly in your favor right now as they both don't have any (announced) scheduled absences for Friday.
If I had to guess I could say with greater certainty that Caissie will be there, as all her absences this week were for personal days, and were already scheduled. Patti is a wild card.
Forgot to post this but today, October 17 at 1pm, as previously announced, Jacob Smith and Alyssa Fox went on as Kristoff and Elsa, respectively, joined by Aisha Jackson as Anna! Travis Patton was on for Bishop and Alicia Albright on as Bulda. Robin Masella and Spencer Clark covered for roles in the ensemble.
Looking to grab a ticket to one of Jacob Smith's Kristoff shows this week since I still haven't seen him. Is anyone else going?

Could be that this is just the start of a new marketing campaign for a potential off-Broadway or pre-Broadway tryout. I doubt it would mean straight to Broadway.
I heard Ingrid say awhile that she was writing a musical but never gave any additional information. Does anyone happen to know anything about the show she's writing?

Laura Benanti to replace Lauren Ambrose in MY FAIR LADY Oct 14

I feel guilty even asking this sort of question but I need to know. I splurge on tickets to see Laura in the show. She’s the sole reason I’m going — had it been someone else replacing I would have just gotten tickets to another show. However, if she’s not at the performance I attend I would be interested in exchanging/refunding my tickets so I would be able to see her in the role. I’ve never done this sort of thing before so could someone give me some guidance on how I would go about doing this/
. However, I agree with most of you they have missed more shows then maybe they should have.
