In my performing career, I spent so much time understudying - it's a very difficult and ultimaly very rewarding spot to hold in a show. At first, when I was younger, it would make me mad to get that spot and not the lead (if I felt I was right for it) but then I worked with a director who made me aware that, to him at least, understudies worked harder than anyone else, and that if he cast me in that position, it meant he thought very highly of my talents, my abilities, and my work ethic. From then on, I was thrilled to get understudy parts, and though I often didn't get the chance to show my stuff, when I DID, it ws a feeling unlike anything else in the world.
I give great Kudos to anyone in this business who gets a chance to be an understudy. It means you're relied upon to be able to fill the lead's shoes - and that's a heavy responsibility when you're also playing character parts and/or in the chorus.
Applause, to all you fine understudies out there!
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"
Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!
