I've noticed that Michael Park's been out of the show a lot lately. I think Asa was on for him last night again. I know that Michael wasn't on the Tony telecast either. Anyone know if he's doing alright?
We saw the matinee on June 3, in which there was nothing out of the ordinary about his performance. Curiously, however, he was the first to exit the stage door after a security guard joked with the crowd that they should make a lot of noise whenever someone came out. Mr. Park opened the door, glanced around and said something like "That's not enough noise", and then departed the theatre without doing the gauntlet at all.

Aside from him potentially taking a well-earned vacation or booking some other short-term project, which are equally reasonable, why start by assuming something is wrong?

If he was on vacation or a short term project, would it not be much more likely to see him out for a week or two straight, instead of spotty on and off?

Why? He could be shooting a TV episode and they needed his character in scenes they are shooting on Tuesday, Wednesday afternoon and Friday?
Beyond that, he is an ensemble member in a show, so it's not like they need to make announcements whenever he or anyone else is out, and... if they are out, it doesn't mean there is cause for great concern wondering whether they are okay.
