If you opened up the 15-page-long Shuffle Along Previews thread, you'd see many people discussing the fact that Audra McDonald has been ill the last few days and also something about standbys being unrehearsed until opening night (which seems odd).

Most standbys are never ready before opening night, sometimes not till weeks into a shows run

Because all their focus is going to the actual actors playing the roles.   They can't really get understudies up to speed on things that are not set and are still being working out.  The same that rehearse the understudies are still needed at "regular" rehearsals.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
