How long does Broadway Salutes run? Will Alex Brightman, as its just-announced host, perform Dewey in School of Rock that evening (7 pm)? Just purchased full priced September 20 tickets for out-of-town guests after researching when Brightman is in. He usually plays Tuesdays and, as of last week, the box office had no record of a scheduled absence.
Understand Blum is good and I mean him no disrespect. But, honestly, Alex was so special and I raved...and spent so much time checking into all the options..darn. No info on SOR website.
So, what would you have done had you arrived and he was out due to illness or something not scheduled? I understand buying tickets to see a certain performer, but there is never a real guarantee they will be performing. People have things come up, people get sick, etc. I understand in this case it's fairly specific because Alex does have dates he doesn't perform, but still - things do occur and events like this happen. I don't know whether he'll be performing that day, but like any performer - things happen.

I'll see Will Blum and I'm sure I'll enjoy his performance. That's the only date I can go, so I'll see whoever is there. But I would prefer to see Alex. And I know it's live theater and anything can happen, and that's fine.
