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?

Posted: 4/17/09 at 12:32pmThis is kinda off-topic but I would've loved to see Morgan Weed go on as Natalie when she was understudying in Next to Normal.

Isn't Ann Harada understudying for Roz as well?
It's not particularly unlikely, but I'd love to see her take on the role.

Posted: 4/17/09 at 12:50pmWell it's not on Broadway anymore but in Grey Gardens I loved it when Maureen Moore went on.

Emma Zaks as Dainty June.
Actually... nah. I wouldn't have gone to see her, but I'd be really curious how she was if she ever got to go on.

Posted: 4/17/09 at 1:21pmI don't know if she's an understudy for the role, but I'd love to see Marla Mindelle go on as Nellie Forbush.

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.

Posted: 4/17/09 at 5:04pmAnn Harada was the first thing that came to mind when I read the title of this thread!

Posted: 4/17/09 at 5:25pmLisa Howard is the other Violet understudy - I think that's gotta be the best understudy pair in years.

Haven Burton as Fiona in Shrek.
Marcus Paul James as Collins in Rent, I saw this one and it was the best performance in Rent I have ever seen.
Marcus Paul James as Benny in In The Heights.

Posted: 4/17/09 at 7:12pmI saw Janet as Nina and Haven as Maureen. Haven was spectacular, Janet was a little bland.

Posted: 4/17/09 at 7:50pmI agree that Ann Harada and Lisa Howard are awesome understudies that I would love to see!

Yep! She was just a sophomore when she did it, and gave one of the standout performances in the show.
Lilli Cooper (of SA) and Molly Ranson (of A:OC) were in it, too.

Posted: 4/18/09 at 2:43amAaron Tveit in RENT - I just can't picture him at all in it.
#24re: Unlikely understudies you would LOVE to see go on.
Posted: 4/18/09 at 9:09amI 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.
