Love is what we do! - THE WEDDING SINGER appreciation thread. — Page 23

There's usually always two understudies, in case one of them is unable to perform. For example, Nicolette Hart is the first cover understudy for Linda, but going by what other's have said (I'd have to check my playbill to make sure), Ashley Amber Haase is also a Linda understudy. And I believe Nicolette is the second understudy for Holly - should Cara not be able to perform, she would go on. This is just like how David Josefsberg is the first cover for Sammy, but Matthew Stocke is also a Sammy understudy.

Also, I was able to go backstage Memorial Day weekend...I brought my father, step mother, and step sister to the show for the first time, and it was my stepsister's first Broadway show ever, so I had a mutual friend of mine and an ensemble member's work it so he could bring us backstage. My stepsister was in AWE when he came out and came over to say hello, and said he could bring us backstage if we wanted. She still hasn't stopped talking about it.

As far as I'm aware, Kevin is the only u/s for Robbie. I don't have a current Playbill, so I'm not 100% on that, but based on the info from the one I do have when Matt was still the u/s Robbie, he was the only one. But now that Kevin's listed as being the u/s, I think Matt is first u/s for Glen and second u/s for Sammy. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong if you have a more current Playbill..

You're right, Matt is still listed as being a Robbie u/s, but he's second cover for that and first u/s for Glen as I assumed.

Haha, cavalier or not, Matt was the only Robbie u/s before Kevin was bumped up!

^I'm sorry, I dont have the lyrics- but I just realized something. Its really funny that Awesome wasn't in the movie, cause it totally seems like an adam sandler-esk song! haha. Though, its also a very VERY stephen lynch song hmmm... I wonder if lynch had any part in the writing of that one... hehehe

sorry, I'm being really random lol

hehehe, I KNEW it!! it was too him for him not to have had a part in it and that tis why it is such a funny song, of course. hehe

I saw the show for the first time tonight, and I thought it was a lot of fun! Understudies were on for Linda and Debbie. Stephen Lynch was very impressive, and also very nice. I must say that I liked Amy Spanger and Kevin Cahoon as well.

jlc6314, Was Laura out? This friend of mine went to see it and told me he thinks Laura was out. But he doesn't know any of the actors, except for Stephen.

Actually, no understudy for Debbie. It was Ashley and she kis the original. I thought it was odd how she was on the understudy board playing the role she originated. Is the playbill different now, with someone else listed as Debbie?

I could swear Kevin was first for Robbie and Glen and second for George.

I really have no idea, obviously. Maybe someone should ask. :p

Ashley was out on Sunday, and it was not noted anywhere. Not on the board, no playbill insert, nothing.

wow, i love "right on time" but on the version i heard i couldnt inderstand a lot. that would be amazing if someone had the lyrics!! i dont think i would want to see the opening number without ashley as debbie cause she is sooo AMAZING at it! who else can practically hold a split the way she does it a good 30 sec?

and thanks for the words to "awesome" but didnt laura at some point sing "like the prize in my happy meal". and didnt she also sing "and if you wanted a pet shed buy you a..possom"? i swear ive heard those before, i guess they just changed them, ha ha.

ha ha, yea, thats what i figured. thanks!

and, no offense, but i hope you get bored, lol.

"Wonder" is on the demo,it's sung by Amy(I think...)but I never heard of "Eight Men".

I want to hear "Right on time" soooo badly!!!
