I was wondering when/what performances is Tony back in for in TBV. Also, if anyone knows if it's harder to get tickets on those performances, that would be great.
I'm also interested in seeing Tony, hope they announce soon. I don't think tickets will be much harder to get than a regular night because they aren't really marketing him, and it doesn't seem many are that upset he isn't in right now anyways.
Yeah, I understand. I don't think he's in it right now at all, but if they stick to what they said I'm sure he'll return for some performances next month. Either way I hear the show is excellent, and everyone functions as an ensemble so well, he'll just be a plus!
"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
Mrs. Maisel will be filming well into June. I don’t think the date was ver announced, but Sasson Gabai (who played Tewfiq in the film) is said to be joining sometime over the summer.

But after the Tony Awards and Maisel wraps, he will be back in the show full time, no?
That is what I assumed, that he would be back when he is done filming. I don’t think anything was really announced either way. As I recall, the bit about Sasson Gabai was just a tweet and nothing concrete.
The article in Playbill announcing his hiatus only said: "Shalhoub... will return to the Ethel Barrymore stage in May for select performances, then sharing the role with Kashani as he wraps production on the Amazon series." Not seeing anything announced as far as what happens after the series wraps.
The show was shooting in France. That is why he had to leave. Now he's back but is only going to be in select performances for the future. I think that is what it means.
Telecharge:
*Dariush Kashani is taking over the lead role of Tewfiq in The Band’s Visit as Tony Shalhoub steps away to shoot a television show. Kashani will start in the role on March 1, as Shalhoub is leaving to film the second season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Shalhoub will return “to play select performances” beginning in May.
EllieRose2 said: "Then why did you ask about him returning full time if you already knew he would be around for select performances?"
Because they are two separate things? If he is going to be in select performance while shooting the series, that begs the question of what happens after the series wraps for the season. Not for me personally, I saw him in it, and it's not a show I see myself repeating again and again.
He is most likely returning so Tony voter and see the original cast (and increase his own Tony chances). I would assume tickets could be hard to get for these performances due to holding back lots of prime seats for the Tony voters and their guests.
I don't think he will come back to the role full time. Since he was the least interesting person in the show for me, I don't care if he's in it or not. Would be shocked if he got a nomination.

Why? Do you only foresee 2-3 nominees or do you think Margaritaville is going to take his nomination?
