How do you know who the understudies in the tour are?

It will generally state so in the Playbill.

Oh and Lynne darling, don't treat me like I'm an idiot.

Megan Hilty! I saw her as G(a)linda in WICKED and I was blown away. Another one of those Carnegie Melon "robots," but I absolutely adored her. I definitely think we'll be seeing more of her in years to come.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Jennifer Hope Wills and/or Michelle Federer in something new somewhere down the line. I saw Jennifer in Wonderful Town and I think she was the shows saving grace. And Michelle Federer, well come on!

Heather Villaescusa (she might want to get a stage name....).

Saw her at Don't Tell Mama the Sunday of the Blizzard--she was a knockout! Strong, beautiful voice, sweet and funny banter and a rockin' body. (And honey, I'm like a 15 on Kinsey; this girl is HOT)

Megan Lewis from Forbidden Broadway. Great characters. Great voice.

Kerry L. Washington, Merle Dandridge and Caryn lyn Manuel were all wonderful from Rent.

I must second Kristy Cates. Love her.

Also, Michael Arden is not well known. He is obsessed over by people who have seen BARE or PIPPIN. Aside from Big River, that is. Believe me, as much as I obsess too, not a soul outside of a fairly tight group of people like us know who the heck he is. Sorry Michael.

Also, Jessica Grove is fantastic.

BDWAY11, You're whole list. I can't wait to see SJB on tour with Wicked. Jenna Leigh Green is phenomenal. Like it's said, the whole flippin' cast of BARE. Shoshana Bean is gonna shoot to the top. And Sara Gettelfinger is amazing!

Gosh, I love "underground" Broadway obsessions.

Kevin Earley. He's been on Broadway but mostly regional so far. I spoke to him briefly a couple of months ago and told him I'd seen him in 6 different productions, and that he was going to be BIG! I take it he played Malcolm Gets' character's lover in the recent staged reading of My New Brain which (damn it!) I missed. Always looking forward to seeing him in new things.

Sumofallthings? I don't treat anyone that way but if you take offense to something, it may be your issue not mine.

I am fairly sure I am not your darling.

Yeah , Yeah, I know she had Dance of the Vampires, but that didn't last too long. I am so ready for Mandy Gonzalez to become a Broadway regular! She's done a few shows and is absolutely amazing. If West Side Story is being revived, I'd love to see her as Maria. Her vocal range is incredible, and her stylistic versatility is, in many cases, unheard of. She definitely boasts some strong acting chops as well. Hopefully her big break is just around the corner!

Bye!
