Stephanie was on vacation and said she would be back in the show on March 5...but it looks like Dee Roscioli was still in for the March 5 show.  Any idea of Stephanie's back for the shows on the 6th?

Jonathan Cohen, was everyone in the show last night?  I'm thinking about going this week and was wondering if anyone is on vacation.

Star/Lady/Babe/Sonny Bono/Georgia Holt/Bob Mackie - all the main roles were played by the normal cast. It doesn't appear anyone is on vacation.

Charlie Williams posted on his instagram that he is going on for Greg Allman. He made it seem like it is permanent.

Nothing about his posts made me think it was permanent...

He is on again tomorrow, though.

Is his story he said, "Im going on in my principal debut opposite some Tony nominees." It made me believe he might be taking over.

I take that as, “my debut in performing a principal role” not taking OVER the principal role - but we’ll see!
I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.

Does Block do all 8 shows? Seems like I read somewhere where she gets a show off.

Block does all 8 shows. No alternate.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Thank you ACL. I thought i read here somewhere that she had a night off but wasn't sure. Searched a number of threads and just decided to ask before I buy my ticket.

Having seen Block twice, I’m baffled how she can do that 8 times a week (twice on matinee days). She puts 200% on that stage. It’s not just singing but carrying Cher’s essence from the moment the show starts to her final curtain call bow. It’s a marathon she’s running. She’s the heart of the show and everything flows from her. She’s literally the ring leader of the show and it’s mindblowing. She merits that long-overdue Tony Award for this. She’s not just singing like and imitating Cher on that stage. There’s SO much more she’s giving.

I loved her performance. But it wouldn’t surprise me that after the tonys that she has an alternate performing once a week consistently. That performance track is crazy and vocally so demanding for 8 shows.

I'm upset that I'm too poor to see SJB in this performance.  Frankly, though this material does not appeal to me.  I read somewhere Rachel Bay Jones has got the nod for Diana in N2N beginning in DC.  That is the role I wanted to see her in.
