I didn't think it was up there w/ Evita, Christine, etc. difficulty wise."

Literally since the show opened there has been an alt Satine, Ashley Loren was the very first

When Jojo was performing Satine, I definitely remember them having it well-publicized that the standby would perform once a week. I can't remember if it was the same Tuesday night show that Ashley performed when she was the standby, but it was definitely publicized.

Sutton Ross said: "When the show first started before Covid, Karen did not have a standby taking over once a week. After Covid it was necessary to have one for obvious reasons. WhenSolea Pfeiffer was Satine, the standby was on for her about severaltimes a week for a couple months there. She performed more than Solea in her own part by the time she left."

When Solea was in the lead, was the alternate Oyoyo or Hailee? Having some trouble remembering

It definitely started under Karen, because I explicitly remember going to NYC for a Tuesday night performance to catch Ashley mere days before Cuomo and DeBlasio shut down the city (and it required travel planning, so it wasn't just luck of the draw for that night). So it may have started a couple months into the original, pre-COVID run?

Karen uses they/them pronouns
