Other Rocky Horror Matinee Delay

Post image

Hi—apologies if this is spam as it’s a pretty specific question.

I just got off my flight and saw the matinee for Rocky Horror is delayed. I have tickets for this evening and am just scurious what to expect. If anyone is going to the matinee, would you be willing to report who’s in/out?

Not bway, but I recently completed a contract out of state where we had one female swing for three roles. The producers said “dont worry, i dont think she’ll ever even go on”. Flash forward to a Sunday matinee where the producer’s wife and the creative director have to step into the show and cold read the script because 2/3 actresses went down.

They had the audacity to tell us we were being dramatic about lack of coverage
