Tuesday, August 4th: Gaelen Gilliland will be on as Margaret in 9 TO 5.
Hmmm, I wonder why the Broadway Understudies site has her on for Margaret today.

Maybe Stephanie got sick or something.

It did sound like Stephanie was loosing her voice when I saw the matinee on Sunday. Her speaking voice was especially raspy.
I'll take the wind and soar.

She was supposed to be tonight as Margaret. This is a last minute change. Either Karen Murphy won't be out tonight, or Tory Ross will take over as Margaret. Karen was being swung out so she isn't sick.
ps I haven't updated the site yet :)

bybubble- I think that you meant that Karen Murphy won't be out, not Kathy.
I would love to see Tory as Margaret.

According to Tory Ross, Karen will be in tonight (She was just going to be swung out). Tory will also be in her normal track.

Stupid question.....what does "swung out" mean?

It means that a swing goes on for someone, so that the actor being swung out can watch the show (usually to watch roles that they understudy).

Ugh, I really wish I saw this earlier. I would have loved to see her. I saw the show Sunday and didn't think Stephanie sounded any different then usual.

I hope Stephanie is back tomorrow...I'm supposed to try lottery for tomorrow night's show.

"Gaelen has been on three times as Judy. Allison and Megan haven't missed a single show yet."
Well Judy is by far the most vocally challenging role. Allison barely has to sing, it's sort of a speaking song. And Megan has a mellow first act song and then a some what big song in act 2. But Steph has a huge 11 o'clock number.

Plus Stephanie is just prone to getting hurt. Nothing wrong with that...I know many people who get hurt/sick all the time.

If she goes on again on Wednesday, I will post as soon as I find out.

Although I'm sure Gaelen is wonderful, I hope Stephanie gets better soon! I have tickets for Weds night and was really looking forward to seeing her performance.

I hope Gaelen's show went well. SJB is the kind of performer I would terrified to u/s for, esp in a role she's originating.

Of the three females, yes. In the grand scheme of things, "vocally challenging" ain't a phrase I'd use to describe this score.

I'd relish being SJB's understudy in any show; a guarantee that you'd go on and be seen!
