Very interesting. I presume there are understudies--although the internet off-B'way. database doesn't list them. Is it just too difficult for someone to step into this play at the last minute without more rehearsal with the rest of the cast?

This production does not have understudies. Understudies are only required when an Off Broadway, non-profit production is to play for over six weeks. This production, closing this weekend, just hits the six week mark. Had it extended, understudies would have been hired.

Tx for the nugget. No wonder they were lost at Lost Lake yesterday!

Also very interesting, thank you. I'd been under the impression that understudies weren't required during previews only.(Maybe that's Broadway?)Never knew about the 6 week rule and I wonder now if shows are often scheduled for that length of run at least partly for this reason. Of course, in tonight's instance, it's costing the company to not have the understudy, although possibly only for non-subscribers, and less than it would have cost to have paid for at least two understudies.
