Anyone seen understudies for AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY?

Just wondering if anyone had seen any understudies go on in AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY. I saw this past Wednesday's matinee and Deanna Dunagan (Violet Weston - the mother) was out. Her understudy did a fine job (can't imagine taking over that role) but I just wondered how the show would be different if Dunagan was there. Such a huge and commanding role - had to give her understudy credit for doing a nice job, but somehow I got the feeling that the show had a different feeling when Dunagan is there. Still was a fantastic piece of theatre.

Thoughts?

Dunagan is the only cast member who has been out.

Just last Wednesday

Walt not true. I saw August on 12/30 and Munson Hicks was on in the role of Beverly Weston...Dennis Letts was out for the evening. He did a fine job for what the role is...did not leave much of an impression on me. But he was still good.

I think Dunnagan and Morton are both amazing actresses in very different ways.

I feel like their 2 show days are so menatally exhausting.

Yankee, I feel the same way. Amy Morton gives a far superior, more in depth performance than Dunagan.

The entire cast is brilliant. Morton's Act Two closer though, is so insanely brilliant. Everyone I went with still quote this line... So powerful.
