Shoutout to the Come From Away Standby, Justin Philips
Went to the show last night. About 10 minutes into the show an announcer called the company off stage and the lights came back on. We were told that an actor was ill and they would try to resume the performance shortly.
About 10 minutes later the show resumed with the standby Justin Philips playing the role of Bob and others.
I know that it’s their job to be ready at any moment but it was still so incredible to see him get right into the show with almost no notice. He genuinely was my favorite performance of the entire cast which is saying a lot cause this cast was absolutely amazing.
So glad I finally got to see this show live, it was one of the best theater experiences I’ve had. And special shout out to Justin Philips for ensuring the show would go on !
