Let's see... Les Miz is a long show. And it was a long time between my cues. One night a couple of months into the Palace run, I got really tired of listening to the score. It happens. One just gets sick and tired of the play. It's actually when I start to do my best work. When I'm bored, I stop "acting." UGH. She goes on to talk about how she missed her cue for her final entrance as Fantine. So, the answer to "at what point does an actor get completely bored", in Patti's case, would be "a couple of months into the run." And the answer to "what happens when the actor gets completely bored," in Patti's case, is "she zones out backstage and misses her entrance."
