| I have heard a number of times over the years about understudies, including for leading roles, wearing the same costumes as the regular performer, whether they really fit the understudy well or not. And I do mean on Broadway. I would guess it's not always the case, and you'd think in a case like that role in Nine, they would have wanted to make sure the understudy looked great in the costume, but I guess it's not always felt to be worth the expense. |
