I'm glad she was there for the 100th performance. I'm also glad she was in this production, but do wish she'd kept her opinion to herself regarding Lauren Ambrose's performance schedule. I'll always be a fan, and would have loved to see this show, but can't complain. I was lucky to see her in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf many years ago.

I hope her understudy, Blair Ross, gets to replace her. Not only was she great in the Side Show revisal (where she was incredibly memorable as Auntie), she was also wonderful as Mrs. Higgins WHEN DIANA RIGG CALLED OUT IN MAY.

I saw Blair Ross as Mrs. Higgins and didn't care for her performance. I don't know her heritage but I didn't believe her as British for a minute.

That was in the musical for 22 years and allegedly was bullied by management to force him to quit. And those two phantom actors were forces out a few years ago. So staying with a show for entire run isn’t always an option.

Not to be pedantic over what's obviously a joke, but since the initial booking period was only through July 8, she technically has stayed through the entire initially announced run (and beyond).
