Unlikely Understudies you would LOVE to see go on.

Posted: 4/17/09 at 12:28pm

I was just reading over the 9to5 cast list and I saw that Ann Harada is one of the understudies for Violet, while I doubt she is likely to ever go on, I personally would love to see her do it.

Anyone else got something similar?

I would have loved to see Kenita Miller go on as Clio/Kira in Xanadu.

Antonique Smith as Maureen, or T.V. Carpio as Mimi, when Rent was still around.

Marcus Paul James as Benny in In the Heights.

I was also dying to see one of the Rose u/s, but never did.

There's a bunch of u/s in Hair that I would love to see, but hopefully it'll happen.

Oh, and I would love to see it if a Billy was forced to go on as Michael. It happened in London!

"I would have loved to see Kenita Miller go on as Clio/Kira in Xanadu"
"Asmeret Gherbermicheal (I know I butchered that one) as Brooke Wyndam"

I SAW THEM!!!! They were both absolutely fantastic, especially Kenita Miller in Xanadu. Was the only time I saw the show too and I just loved her voice.

I saw Aaron Tveit in RENT, the first time I ever saw the show. It was the non-eq tour with Constantine Maroulis and Jaime Lee Kirchner. Aaron played Steve and had one of the best, if not the best "Will I?" solo ever. I can't remember how often he went on as Mark or Roger.
