Posted: 6/13/06 at 10:16amWho is it? Or who are the people who cover her role? I was also curious of any of them went on yet.

The understudies for Sutton Foster are Andrea Chamberlain (a swing) and Angela Pupello (an ensemble member). As for if they went on yet, I don't think they have. (Kinya hora.)*

Posted: 6/13/06 at 10:40amFrankly, even though Sutton was nominated, it isn't that big deal of a role that someone else couldn't just as easily do it once she masters the handstands and splits.

Posted: 6/13/06 at 12:38pmSutton is getting married/ going on her honeymoon in September, so I believe Angela Pupello will be going on during her absence.

Posted: 6/13/06 at 12:57pmI was told the plan is for Angela to go on one week, and Andrea to go on the 2nd week.

Posted: 9/21/06 at 8:59amCaught Angela as Janet yesterday and she was fantastic. Very different body type from Sutton, but she handled everything with aplomb. A solid striking performance.

Posted: 9/21/06 at 1:33pmI saw Angela Pupello yesterday (Wed. matinee). She totally nailed it. I saw Sutton do the role a few weeks ago. Angela added an element of comedy to the part that was really refreshing. They are very different, so it's almost apples and oranges. But I have to say that Angela added more to the show, whereas Sutton was just Sutton.

Perhaps, but we love Sutton as "just Sutton".
