I was an understudy, twice, also. No glory, no glamour, no nuttin'. Of course, the first show I understudied I did get to go on, unscheduled. I had watched I LOVE LUCY that afternoon. I went on that night. Not saying anything more. The second show I understudied I had a set schedule of performances I knew I'd be covering in advance.
Admit it, Linnie, you read the thread, because that was precisely their defense. What gets me is that these people know the tracks and who went on for whom when better than any company manager ever could.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
