Looks like Heather Headley will have an alternate, Gloria Onitiri. No mention of a schedule. Anyone heard anything? With Headley being a big draw for theatre fans, I suspect people will want to know
The producers of The Bodyguard cannot guarantee the appearance of any particular artist, which is always subject to illness and holidays. Heather Headley is expected to appear at all performances excluding Monday 12 & Monday 19 November, Tuesday 4 December 3:00pm, Monday 21 - Wednesday 23 January inclusive, Monday 18 – Saturday 23 March inclusive, and all Wednesday matinees.
Must be a standby situation rather than an alternate. Which makes sense if she will belt her face off with all these power ballads night after night. The role is probably very physical as well with some dancing ("Queen of the Night"?) and maybe fighting and chasing (it's a 'thriller', right?).
I thought the above said that she is not doing show XYZ vs Wednesday matinees? I'm actually quite happy about this. If it's a show I end up liking I wouldn't mind seeing another take on the lead role.
