Spamalot Reports for 10-23-08

Report from HCorbett10:

From Jess:

REPORT FROM THE FRONT LINES!!!!

CLAY'S LEAVING THE SHOW AND HE'S HAVING AN UNDERSTUDY FOR ACT 2.

HE CAN'T CONTINUE

From Rosebud42:

I was just talking to NYMom4clay on the phone during the intermission. She's there tonight, and she said that during the first half Clay seemed fine. Then, as I was talking to her they made the announcement that he didn't feel well enough to continue and that someone else would take his place for the 2nd half.

Poor darlin'.

From amoreDio:

Someone said they thought they saw Jaymes there in the 7th row center. If it was Jaymes....that seat remained empty after the intermission was over.

Per Annieq9 at the Clayboard:

Clayfan1000 and I were there tonight too and I agree with the post above and with you Zakus. We also stayed until the end to support the cast. We were in the fifth row and some people actually filled a couple of seats in the front rows A101 and A102 and B101 during the second act that were not filled during act I. It was strange those seats weren't filled during the first act because the orchestra and mezzanine were full. Someone must have been sick or something.??

The front row was not empty during the second act.

We gave all of the cast some love and support. That young man had a tough job filling in for Clay with so many of us there to see Clay. He was ok and did a fine job but he was no Clay, poor guy.

We saw no fights,, no exodus of people and no E! entertainment.

The peasant of the day was in row C101. It was a man who was really excited about being the peasant. People were congratulating him on doing a great job and he loved it!
