Is there any schedule for "Come From Away" leads to have an understudy?

I am always blown away by Jenn Colella and would really like to see her.

Edited to add--- obviously I know understudies can happen any time.  But I just wanted to know if there is a specific schedule-- like she never does Sunday matinee, for example...

Thanks!!

There are very few parts on Broadway with an alternate (a  person on a set schedule to cover a leading role.) When Bette leaves Dolly, so will the alternate.

 

So unless she's on vacation, sick or takes a personal day, she (with everyone else in the cast) she'll be there.

Looks like Jenn Colella will be out next week, the 9th-14th. Julie Reiber & her husband have been mentioning her playing Beverley and others during that time.
