Thank God I checked this board before buying any tickets b/c I almost bought a ticket for that week. Any other vacations in August?

^Grey mentioned on a podcast he did the other day he'll be on vacation for a week in August, but did not specify when. I doubt they'd let him be away the same week as Taylor so it'll either be before or after Taylor's vacation.

Barrett was out this evening (7/6) and Tee was on as Janis.

Bumping as we are now a month out since the OP. As far as I know, Kerry is now the only principal to have not missed a performance. Figured I'd use this post to try to sort out which understudies have gone on for which roles.

CADY- As far as I have been told, Erika has only missed 1 (maybe 2) shows, and Tee went on for that(those) time(s). So Becca and Jonalyn have yet to play Cady.

REGINA- We know Taylor has only missed 2 shows thus far, but she has a vacation upcoming. Becca went on for those 2 shows. Jonalyn is the only other Regina understudy, and I expect we'll see Jonalyn get a turn in the role during Taylor's vacation in August.

GRETCHEN- As far as I know, Ashley has only missed 1 show, and it was right after the Tonys. Zurin went on. Ashley is known for great attendance, so I guess we'll have to see in due time if Tee or Riza will go on.

KAREN- I know Kate has missed a handful of shows, but I've only been told of Jonalyn going on. Can anyone confirm that Zurin (the only other listed understudy) has not gone on for Karen?

JANIS- So it appears that Tee, who wasn't even originally an understudy for Janis, has swung into that role multiple times now. I know Barrett's attendance hasn't been stellar, but has anyone else played Janis besides Tee? Riza and Gianna are also listed as understudies, but I've heard no word on them.

DAMIAN- My understanding is that Grey has only missed 1 or 2 shows, and that DeMarius covered that show or shows, meaning that we still have yet to see Brendon in the role.

AARON- I know Kyle just missed recently and Kevin covered but I thought he had missed other performances? Has Curtis gone on for Aaron at all?

MR. DUVALL- I have heard nothing as far as Rick's attendance but my guess is that he has missed at least 1 show. Does anyone know who covered for him? Myles? Brendon?

KEVIN- I believe Cheech has missed just 1 show and Nikhil covered him. Don't know when or if we'll see Chris Medlin in the role.

Also, if anyone has any ensemble attendance reports, that would be nice as well.

Erika has missed at least five or six shows, which Tee has done all of those and she would go on before Jonalyn and Becca because she's the standby.

The show just recently cast a Regina/Gretchen standby, so I'm not sure how that will impact Taylor's vacation and how much Jonalyn and Becca will go on, but I assume the standby would go on first.

Zurin has gone on for Gretchen, but not Karen yet. Tee is now a standby for Janis and has gone on several times for the role while Barrett has been out as has Gianna. The only cover who has yet go on for Janis is Riza.

Curtis has not gone on as Aaron yet at all - Kevin did all of the performances Kyle missed not too long ago. Rick missed a couple shows and Myles went gone on as Mr. Duvall and Nikhil did all of the performances that Cheech missed with Chris being on as Marwan [Nikhil's track].

Fairly certain Brendon Stimson did not go on for Mr. Duvall.

As far as I know, Kate has only missed one show (the day of the Drama League Awards) and Jonalyn went on.

ClumsyDude, do you know who the Gretchen/Regina standby is. Tee is currently listed as a standby for Gretchen.

You’re right, Brendon didn’t go on as Mr. Duvall. I got things mixed up because when Myles was on, Brendon and Iain split Myles track.

A friend of mine met her at some point during the long rush period for Pink Wednesday rush but I didn’t get a name. I believe Tee will still be standby for Gretchen as well; but I’m not sure, I just know this new girl will be a Regina/Gretchen standby.

Btw, they didn’t add a Regina/Gretchen standby, Ixchel Cueller just joined on as a vacation swing for the summer.

Elegance - Thank you for that. I was really hoping to see Tee as Gretchen at some point when she’s on so I’m glad that still will be possible.

Zurin has been on for Karen so everyone’s been on for Karen.

They did actually. And her name is Ashley De La Rosa. She is the new Regina/Gretchen Standby.

Yes, I learned this after a posted the original comment. Thanks!

Why does this show need this many Gretchen covers? Two standbys and two ensemble understudies? For a supporting role (that isn’t the craziest sing in the world)? I’m very confused by their system with standbys.

Just because I find it impressive due to the vocal necessities of the role, it's worth noting at the only shows Taylor missed were personal days home with her family. She's yet to miss due to illness.

Kerry Butler posted that she is the last cast member to not miss a performance.

I saw the show twice in July and both times Barrett wasn't on but her understudies were both equally fantastic. I did prefer Tee Boyich over Gianna Yannelli but they could equally hold their own. As with the rest of the cast, they were collectively amazing. I think this is my favourite cast currently on Broadway.

Taylor is out all week on vacation. I believe Becca and Jonalyn will be splitting the week. I don’t think they new standby has had her put in yet...but I could be wrong!

I’ve heard rumors Kerry Butler may be involved with Beetlejuice’s DC run. Think she may leave and come back if at all?
