That happened on Tuesday when I saw The Band's Visit & Katrina Lenk was out. I have to admit she was a big reason as to why I bought a ticket. But her name wasn't above the marquee, we were already in our seats & we braved the lousy weather so I just stayed put. Still kind of bummed though.

mattyp, were you at The Band's Visit this past Tuesday (2 days ago)? I know Katrina Lenk had a scheduled week off at the end of January and also one in the fall. I had heard that her planned vacation in the fall was the first time she was out of the show at all.

I would be bummed if she was out as well. I don't know if shows are more demanding than they used to be, but in the past few years, I've noticed that the usual times when it's somewhat safe that the full cast will be there are not as true as they used to be (previews, the first couple of months after opening, Tony season).

Yes I was there 2 days ago.

I bought tickets a month or two ago. I was on Telecharge looking for the best availability but eventually went to the box office to buy the tickets. Didn't see anything about scheduled absences on the website & they definitely didn't mention anything at the box office. So I assume that was just an unplanned absence.

EDIT: Yeah. She tweeted yesterday at 5:30pm about getting influenza. Oh well. Wish I saw that yesterday but not sure if I would have been able to exchange. Hope she feels better though.

mattyp, thanks for clarifying. It's unfortunate, but it doesn't sound like it was avoidable.
