Following this weekend's scoop that Tony-nominee Peter Gallagher had fallen ill, causing a last-minute cancellation of Roundabout's ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY on Saturday night, BroadwayWorld has confirmed that the actor remains under the weather, and his understudy, James Moye, will take the stage this week for a short series of performances.

As “Cookie,” the charming, mischievous troublemaker-with-a-heart in the national tour of Broadway's Nice Work If You Can Get It, Reed Campbell has a sweet deal: he gets to do work he loves and travel the country at the same time. Touring, Reed admits, is physically demanding, and taking on the role for which original Broadway cast member, Michael McGrath won a 2012 Tony award, gave him pause, but he loves the Nice Work cast and creative team, that are “so cohesive, kind and energetic,” all important qualities for taking a production of this scale on the road.
