| I have seen understudies go on in supporting roles and never would have known they were understudies. As pointed out, understudies for stars often lack that certain spark that makes the original performer a star. Only once do I remember being terribly disappointed in an understudie's performance and it affected my view of the play. I wished to go back and see the originals performance but alas, it was a limited run. She had gotten good reviews and may have been nominated for a Tony and other awards. On the other hand, I have seen a couple shows where I have been very disappointed in the original performer at least one of whom won a Tony for their performance. There is one nominee this year who while I don't think was bad, did not give in my possibly flawed estimation a nomination worthy performance. Maybe I should have seen the understudy. ;) |
