Already posted on the other thread, but she was amazing, a treat to watch take over the role.

haterobics, how was I supposed to know that this had been already mentioned in the other thread. That thread is clearly called "Jackie Burns-If/Then. So sorry.

Jenn was indeed amazing. She seemed so at ease. He a few line misshaps, but nothing major. Her chemistry with James and Anthony was spot on. Everyone seemed thrilled for her, genuinely thrilled. What a great actress and singer.

That's why I linked to the other thread... I'm not sure why you're getting so defensive. I sometimes forget that everything on here without a smiley face is a potential insult. 
<-- covered my bases this time.

Sorry, I just read it as being very sarcastic. My fault.

She was obviously good in the role. The sad part is once Idina leaves, so does the show. People will not see it simply because she is not in it no matter how good the show & replacement are.

I headed straight to that thread when I saw that Jenn would be on. I've never even seen (or heard most of) If/Then. But I was curious about the posts about her.

Idina and Jenn are good friends and I wouldn't be surprised if Idina, who is a mensch, let her do a show since Jackie is on vacation and it may be her only opportunity. It is what a good friend would do. Jenn has an incredible voice and i am sure she was sensational. She deserves to be a lead in another musical. .

I'd be shocked and appalled if Idina were to pull a stunt so unprofessional as that.
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

"It is what a good friend would do."
That is retarded and bad for business, so they didn't do that. Menzel has had a cold since last week, shortly after returning from the UK, and Burns was out for a family emergency of some sort. (Twitter)

I can see that happening if you're in the ensemble or something, but not if you're the only cast member above the title.

That's amazing! Was Jenn listed as a cover for this role or anything? I assumed that since she has a supporting role, she would never be going on for Idina. Wow!

There was a slip in the playbill and Jenn's name on the understudy board.

Jenn is the second cover for the role and she opts to list Ann as her only role in the show in the Playbill.

This inane reasoning comes up every single time a second understudy goes on in a role. It's more of some fan fantasy. Come on. These are professionals.

I wouldn't call it inane, or be shocked or appalled. I can think of 5 times that, that has happened off the top of my head. Didn't Orfeh publicly admit to it? It happens.

A worldwide Tony winning star is a lot different than Orfeh.

This is actually common practice in professional theatre, if both parties and the producers are in agreement. Sometimes the understudy going on will wave their understudy payment for the opportunity (if they want family or agents to see them perform)
