King and I reviews?

I attended the understudy performance on Wednesday evening with 10 others and we all really loved the show. The theatre was chockas and I heard nothing but praise for the understudy cast - In the loos post show and in the bar at interval also....Nothing but raves.

Especially for the understudy King... I got tingles during the whipping scene and shed a tear at the death bed scene which I thought was played beautifully. The guy playing Lun Tha was also great....a voice like honey and he looked amazing whenever on stage with his shirt off!! The duets with Tup Tim were really beautiful....Totally believed that they were star crossed lovers and everything...

I can't believe that the lot of them have been given the sack due to three complaints. What a kick in the guts for all of them who have given up much of their time and put in so much effort....Not to mention the fact that they don't appear to have been given an opportunity to remedy any glitches that may have occurred on Wednesday night (Mostly technical type stuff from what I could tell.) It looks like an arbitrary decision has been made and the understudies brushed aside without a thoughtÂ….

Why isn't the director going in to bat for her understudy cast who gave so much of themselves during rehearsals and the performances? Does this not seem odd to anyone else?
