According to a tweet by David Light, last night's show in Boston was the final one for Music Director/Conductor Sue Draus, Ballet Girl Olivia Wang and (temporarily) Max Baud. The first two are permanently leaving the Tour, while Max is going on a medical Leave of Absence for surgery and will return to the show upon his recovery. Ensemble member and Older Billy u/s Chris Howard will play that role full time for the next eight weeks (See tweets by Max and Chris).

Happy Trails to Sue and Olivia!! And best wishes for successful surgery and a speedy recovery for Max!!

I am sure that the Tour being in Boston this past month has sped up her training!

I saw Yanna's and Maria's debut tonight - they had their roles down pat! My companion said she would never have known they are new to their roles. Nice to see some new younger girls mix it up with the older ones. A very good start!
