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.

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.

My daughters were disappointed that Ben was not there but said Colton was very good and loved the show !!

I have a ticket for June 13. First show after the Tony awards. I think he will be there.

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.

Methinks Ben will bring his buddy Tony with him.
Just sayin

Good thing Tony ballots are due today!
All joking aside, glad to hear he's taking the time off he needs to heal.

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

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?

This is Alice Ripley in n2n all over again. The role is going to destroy his voice. Be careful Ben!
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

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.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Me, too. Maybe he wasn't really trying to act it in that venue? I kind of wish I hadn't seen this clip. Guess I'll find out on Sunday.

According to Telecharge, Ben will be out tomorrow, Sunday, 6/25/17, at 3:00 p.m. I'm assuming this is because of the special performance at 8:00 p.m. to benefit The Actors Fund.
