Well, John C. Reilly and Philip Seymour Hoffman switched the roles of Austin and Lee in TRUE WEST nightly and both got nominations.
Robert Cuciolli (sp?) had an alternate in JEKYLL and got a Tony nomination.

Posted: 6/8/08 at 9:26pmwell, this might not be what you meant, but Patti LuPone won a Tony for a role that had an alternate: Eva Peron. but they didn't split the role equally: Patti went on for the 6 evening shows, and Terri Klausner, her alternate, went on for Wednesday and Saturday matines.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 6/8/08 at 10:02pmVictoria Clark only performed 6 shows a week in Piazza (her alternate was Patti Coheneur), although that may have started after the Tonys.
I chose, and my world was shaken. So what?
The choice may have been mistaken. The choosing was not.

Posted: 6/8/08 at 10:08pmClark started a reduced schedule after quite some time, Patti, I think is the only 6 show nominee and winner.

Posted: 6/8/08 at 10:11pmPatti was the only winner, I believe, to perform 6 performances a week, but Lea Salonga had an alternate for Saturday matinees while in Miss Saigon.

nope, they cast an alternate during the London run because Elaine Paige was ruining her voice singing the show 8 performances a week. they were "smart" and cast an alternate for Patti's production to make sure the same thing didn't happen again.
