Mean girls understudies?

According to the playbill,it says "understudies never subatitute for the listed performers unless ~~blah blah"

and I saw Mean girls last saturday night show(2 days ago), Damian and Aaron were understudies.

...and Sunday was same!!

Is there any rule for casting? coz I'm a foreign visitor, not have much time to stay in NY, and hope to see Grey Henson Demian.

I also asked casting at the ticket box, and they said they update the casting board just 1h before performance...

Anyway, does anyone have new information about casting? (especially Grey Henson? - vacation or sth??)

Grey was just on vacation last week and will be back on Tuesday and Kyle seems to have just taken a few personal days and should also be back on Tuesday. As far as understudies in the show, they aren't allowed to say when they're on but have been giving vague mentions in their Instagram stories and Tweets indicating things like "Today would be a GROOL day to try the lottery" among other things.

Following the cast on social media is definitely a good bet on finding out about people being in and out. I do know Barrett will be out the first week in September but beyond that I haven't heard of anyone else having a planned vacation.

It looked like she was filming something at least one day last week.

I have tickets for 9/5! Who is first cover for Janis? Tee Boyich?

(Barrett is great, but I want to see Tee since I heard about her Broadway debut story)

^Last I heard Tee was doing Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday with Gianna doing the latter half of the week.

^ With Tee not being an original cover for Janice, I'm assuming when that track got added onto her contract during Previews after her emergency performances, it probably shifted around the use of the Janice understudies.

Exactly. Janis was added to her standby responsibilities after she went on in previews. It seems like she is always the first to go on for Cady, and usually Janis. So far the only role she hasn't go on for is the Adult Woman.

She was supposed to be a standby for Alana and Zoe on the Dear Evan Hansen tour but left that for Mean Girls! Thank God she did because she was an amazing Regina the other day."

Wow, good for her! Great move. I wonder why they never had an original Regina standby? Also, Tee has only been on as the Gretchen standby once or twice, right? Looks like even though she was the standby, she was never the default cover. (I'm sure there's a TON that goes on behind the scenes and contractually, but since we don't know those details, it's fun to piece together how this works!)

During "Apex Predator," one of the ensemble members steps forward to talk about Regina being the prettiest girl in school, and then says, "I'm like, 'okay, white people.'"

With De La Rosa being a woman of color, did this line get changed?"

Nope they didn’t change this line! The only line they changed for her was when Gretchen says “her natural hair color isn’t blonde it’s dark blonde.” With De La Rosa they changed the line to “She says she’s part Cherokee but she’s really Dutch on her mother’s side.”

Hahahaha! Love the new line.

I think you're right! I totally forgot. Anyway, she was a wonderful Regina and I hope she gets bumped up to principal after Taylor leaves.

I would love for Ashley to cover Cady she would be amazing in that part! I think they'll have Tee cover Karen as I don't see her as Regina.
