Theatre-goers frustrated by absent stars
A new survey reports that theatre-goers are fed up with attending productions without the celebrity appearing. Big names, such as Martine McCutcheon in My Fair Lady and Dannii Minougue in Notre Dame de Paris, are failing to show due to illness and understudies are not acceptable to audiences which have paid high prices for tickets to see the stars, according to the survey by performing arts website,Whatsonstage. The survey of 2000 regular theatre-goers found that three-quarters were tired of having to put up with TV and pop stars' failure to perform and more than half wanted stars who missed over a month to be replaced.
