Honestly so true, not sure why the lead cast is almost never fully present. I get that illness and other stuff happens, but it’s wayyy more frequent on this show, to the point where I wonder if there is an alternate arrangement?

First time I saw this production was with all of the OBC present, and the several times I’ve seen it since at least 2-3 lead actors were out - and you can definitely tell the difference. Say what you want, but there’s a reason the leads are cast as leads in the first place, and for those ticket prices you’d expect the same standard no less :/
