That’d be Erik Bates, the understudy. He’s fun!

We saw the show in LA last night and it was fab! Tommy Devito’s part was played bt the stand-in who did a good job. The audience couldn’t get enough. We went after and met the cast and it was such a thrill. I’m now figuring out how to get tickets and go to Sacremento because I’m not done seeing this fantastic play!

I heard about this unfortunate accident through my son this weekend. I hope that everything is fine with Erich and that Jackie is taking care of him so that he’ll be 100% when he comes back on Tuesday.

It’s just similar to when Rick Faugno was on for Chris Jones at the Curran Theatre earlier this year. Luckily for him, Michael Ingersoll made the save by directing him away, and he avoided injury due to the malfunctioning lift door.

I’m just glad that Sacramento does not have the lift system, so that those types of incidents will be avoided there and the 1st Nat’l Tour Cast will be safe when performing.

Best wishes to Erich and hope to see him back in NorCal next month!

Hello Mr. Rosenberg,

Thank so much for updating us on Erich’s condition. I just heard it yesterday on our way to the evening performance and was horrified for the accident that befell him on Friday. Anyway, at the stage door after the show, we learned from Rick Faugno that Erich will be back on Tuesday. Hooray ! ! !
We’ll be seeing him again. He is the family’s favorite for Bob Gaudio’s role.

I am so sorry to hear about Erich’s fall! He captivated us the minute he stepped on stage as did the rest of the cast…all were phenominal here in Los Angeles! I will be disappointed if I don’t get to see him at this weeks performance…but will be wishing him a speedy and fast recovery and have no doubt that we will be seeing alot more of this adorable, comedic and talented performer.
