I believe today is the first show where we’ll see both a David understudy (Pierre Marais) and Michael understudy (Mason Olshavsky) together in the same performance, which is exciting!

I know after Ali’s initial vacation announcement, there was speculation that Hank Santos might also go on for him. With Pierre announcing he will be on for Ali from today through October 11, it looks like that will not be the case and it made me curious.

For those more familiar with Broadway as a whole or follow the cast closely on social media, what factors determine which understudy gets called to go on when a show has multiple covers for a lead role? For example, I don’t believe Colin Trudell, the other Michael understudy, has ever gone on. And for Ali’s vacation, would it just be “easier” for the cast and crew to have one understudy perform throughout his absence vs. switching between two understudies?

I had not planned to see this show but got a balcony ticket last minute for a matinee. The voices were incredible and so I got the cast recording and then fell in love with the music. Just saw a second performance and now it is all I can think about. LJ singing in mid air was just outstanding among many other reasons. Honestly , for a show I never intended to see it seems to have shown up at the exact right moment in my life.

Hi everyone! I’m going to be in NYC this week and I’m hoping to see Lost Boys while there. I saw a few seats in the front row of the balcony (on the far sides) and back row of orchestra but both are labelled as partial view. Just wondering what I might be missing if I’m sitting there? Hoping to get some feedback on seating so I can try to get decent seats on a budget! Thanks for anything you can share! Aiming to go to the show next Sunday at 7:30 if you want to see what seats are still available.
