If a standby is on vacation/sick/unable to perform, THEN the understudy is called in. An understudy might seem to go on more often because people might just call standbys an understudy. Or they might go on more often, but a standby is first in line to perform the role. Make sense?
Me and Cat's word(s) of the day!
Varietized and instrict!
Varietized - Adjective form of "variety"
Example: Your food choice is not very varietized.
Instrict - Verb. To implement and/or enforce something
Example: Today the school instricted a new rule.
For the record...she left out the good part of the sentence!
I demand to know the good part.
Whats the magic word, Gimme mcspoiledstien?!?!
i'll give you a hint!
Now those are the magic words Dre!!!...I believe we aqre alll quite unanimously in love with it, and in pst discussions many have compared it to air...

Pleeeeaaaase, Cat. *bats eyelashes*
L5Y? Flippin' amazing, that's what I think!
sorry, i understand the whole explanation of swing and standbys, but, in the DRS program, it only mentions the understudies's names. no mention of standbys. and, when Norb was out for the week that i saw the show, joe cassidy, the u/s, was subbing in for every performance, and he's not called the standby, because, u know, he's in the ensemble!
just wondering if only the REALLY popular shows that are usually sold out; like wicked and spamalot-have standbys for the main characters.
and logainne, i'm glad you got to meet greg! and it's amazing that you got to meet john! (he's so...quiet! i mean, he's amazing, but, usually at the end of a performance, he's looks so tired, and therefore is...quiet! lol.)
You! Jamie! I saw you left a comment on Liz's myspace.

Add me.
No, I haven't heard the Spitfire Grill. (Though, I think I've seen the movie..)
But yes. L5Y is amazing. Jason Robert Brown is a genius. I definitely recommend picking up the CD. And if you like it.. consider picking up Songs for a New World, another JRB masterpiece.
OMG, DRE! L5Y is AMAZING. aaaah, the music, the story, the ACTORS! EVERYTHING! i reeally wish that i knew about it before, because it is...just...well, a GOOD musical! :)
i have the songs, and can send them to you if you'd like. that way, u know..u'd save some money! just PM me.

Ahhhh. L5Y is amazing. I love it all. My two favorites are "Nobody Needs to Know" (It made me cryyyyy.) and "Climbing Uphill" (Jesus Christ, I suck, I suck, I suck, I suck...)
ilovedrsandNLB, if you were a Legend now, I'd be more scared than if you were a swing.
Traci and Jamie are now both my myspace friends! Hurrah!
Do you think Greg feels weird coming in the thread and seeing pictures of him half-naked and doing weird poses in random people's avatars?
In terms of Norbert/Cassidy, Norbert doesn't have a standby, which explains why when he's out, the understudy is out. I don't know why certain roles have standbys and some don't...but if there is a standby, he/she would be the first called to go on before an understudy.
lol, aigoo!
naw, he LOVES seeing himself halfnaked! lol, as he said on saturday, "you guys are naughty...I LOVE IT!" haha, gotta love the guy
yay! kerrie's my myspace buddy! anybody else have one?
and thanks for the standby info, dre. it's probably for john, right?
