This production has A-list understudies. I’m sure they’re off book. I have to assume there’s an Equity rule prohibiting them from performing without a put-in. But that wouldn’t prevent Mantello from filling the role.

With the limited run, it means I’ll miss it. Very disappointing, and very unprofessional.

For the record, I once got a phone call, flew to New York from Boston, and went on as a replacement that night. It can be done.

Interesting. Does anyone know if that is an Equity requirement? I can think of many times actors have gone on during previews without a put in. Who are these A-list understudies?
