So if an understudy is on in [title of show], do they use the understudies name or still use the regular names for the characters? Also, anyone think that it may not be the same to see it on Broadway considering that it actually is on Broadway rather than still trying to get there?

The understudies use the names written in the script (ie. Jeff, Hunter, Susan, Heidi). Jeff and Hunter like to stress that the characters are different from the people.

Also, the press release seemed to indicate that they updated the book to include the journey from off-broadway to broadway.
