Does Audra have an alternate?

Does Audra McDonald have an alternate for matinee performances of "Porgy and Bess." I want to see the matinee on Saturday, and wasn't sure if Audra does 8 shows a week. I remember when Porgy and Bess announced a run, there was talk of Audra only doing 6 shows a week.

I look forward to an America which will steadily raise the standards of artistic accomplishment and which will steadily enlarge cultural opportunities for all of our citizens. - JFK

She does all performances.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Audra trained in classical voice at Juilliard. She does not need an alternate. This is what young performers who aspire to being on Broadway don't understand. This girl's got training. And she knows how to use it.

Audra did have an alternate for Marie Christine. I know because I saw the alternate-who was very good, actually. But, as pointed out earlier in the thread, she does not have one for this.
