| Go to https://2st.com/ and select simulcast tickets. It costs $65 for one performance. I watched yesterday. Two understudies were in. I believe one of them was Kevin Kenerly (apologies if I got that wrong) and his speaking voice is the kind you want to hear read the phone book. I believe you have to watch it real time. I did. The play started at least 15 minutes late. (Is that true of many shows these days due to covid protocols?) A couple days ago someone compared it to a sitcom. That seems a little dismissive but I also was not as moved as Jesse Green was. Still, to watch a current Broadway show from home was nice, particularly during omicron and the play held my interest. And to discover a new actor I want to see in the future… well, all in all it was money well spent. |

| Is there any provision for refunds/rescheduling if, for example, both Uzo Adubo and Ron Cephas Jones were out. I can see that it might be technically difficult to refund the streaming payment, but perhaps a second performance could be made viewable in addition to that performance. If nothing else, it would provide an opportunity to appreciate the understudy. | |

| I’m sure you can reach out. They seem pretty accommodating. However to be clear, I really liked the understudy for Ron Cephas Jones and in no way felt like an understudy. He commanded the stage with his scenes. Admittedly I didn’t see Jones. But maybe I’ll give it another go. | |

| I plan to view the streaming option, but I really would like to see Edmund Donovan. | |

| I don't think so. But of course that's not a hard and fast rule. Plus, you're not asking for a refund; you'd just like to see a second performance. I have tickets for next Tuesday's simulcast. |

| None of the actors are above the title. I would agree that a refund is unlikely, but I'm hoping Second Stage might consider letting us see the show on a different day if our favorite performer was out. But I don't know if that's easy or hard for them to do. | |

| standingO, thanks for the info. Did you know that there were understudies beforehand? Understudies are fantastic, but I'd like to see Edmund Donovan and Ron Cephas Jones if I can. | |

| Yea, they put up two slates (one for each of two understudies) just before the show started. Although I kinda wish it came at the end as well. I had to look up the understudies online via ibdb. |
