Your show closes in two weeks." His role was the only major understudy I had during my trip of eight shows."
this usally happens when a show flops, some cast members have paid vacation days built into the contract, he is clearly taking his while he can"
Per the AEA Production Contract, actors accrue 1 week of paid vacation per 6 months of employment. Obviously they have not reached the 6 month point --- so you are incorrect.
The understudy also had a kind of muscular body, where MJ does not. I know looks and a great physique aren't always a for sure deal breaker with the ladies, but unfortunately that is what many, many women and alot of gays go for, regardless of how the person treats them. I was just saying, many times when I see a show, the understudy has a similar look and build to the main person. In this instance, they were quite the opposite to me.
