| I saw Nathan Lane’s understudy in The Producers the very first performance Lane missed. I don’t recall the gentleman’s name but he was clearly underprepared, not really right for the role, and could barely conceal his terror. Happily, Matthew Broderick, Candy Huffman, Gary Beach and Brad Oscar generously carried him through the show and by the end, the audience was forgiving and very much on his side. I don’t know if he continued as Lane’s understudy, but I rather doubt it. | |

| I'm not sure when Lane first missed, but it could have been John Treacy Egan ( I've seen him in the paat in a regional production and loved him), Kevin Login or Mark Lotito. Brad Oscar was the standby even he was there. It others if it was later. | |

| Ray Wills was the other Bialystock understudy when the show opened so I would guess it was him. | |

| Yes, I believe it was Mr. Wills. I recall that it was over the Memorial Day weekend … the show had opened about six or seven weeks earlier. | |
