I would assume the only performance he might make it back for is Sunday, maybe Saturday too, but it makes sense he’d want to conserve his energy & recover as much as he can for his last show/s. Hopefully he makes a recovery!
He came to the theatre, went in the stage door and he was planning on going on. Than right before they announced Alex W was going on. Legit his name was printed in the program that he was going on. I don’t know what happened. I asked Alex W at stage door if he was going to play Scorpius again this weekend and he said who knows. He did say Anthony is super sick. So I don’t know. I’m curious if he will even make it for the last performance.
I saw the show yesterday and had a feeling given the comments in this thread that Anthony would be out (which he was) but Alex was a fantastic Scorpius and the role is in his very capable hands.
I got to see the full original cast back in May so I was lucky enough to see Anthony but if you are seeing the show this weekend and you get to see Alex you’re in for a wonderful treat.
I’m surprised to see Anthony was out yesterday. I was at the True West stage door last night (literally right next to the Lyric) and Anthony passed the stage door. So he at least had to be AT the theatre last night, which is even stranger.
I don’t think it’s that strange, if it were me I’d want to spend time with the cast/at the theater if I knew I would never have the experience again. I’m sure he wants to be up there during his last week of the show, especially given the dynamic the OBC seems to have with each other. I mean they really are each other’s family away from family! I feel bad speculating so much- honestly he’s just a normal dude who got sick/burnt out lol. But I also understand the feeling of seeing an OBC & the disappointment when you don’t see the cast you want
. Hopefully he does another Broadway play one day.
