Deciding to see this while I still had the chance was the right move.
Aaron Krohn, Adam Godley's understudy, was on for him last night and gave an absolutely terrific performance. I don't know if he has gone on with regularity throughout the run, but the performance was seamless.
Musical understudies have deservedly been getting a lot of attention lately. In a play like this, with three actors carrying a three hour play, the demands are as strong if not stronger. No one gets an off-stage break.
I was sorry to see I would be missing Mr. Godley when I entered the theatre. I was thrilled to have seen Mr. Krohn when I left. |
