I like Bob Gaynor in everything. He's a better singer and actor than most of the stars for whom he subs. For the life of me, I don't know why he doesn't land more leads.

Betsy Joslyn was wonderful as Paula in The Goodbye Girl. Better than Bernadette in many ways (I saw both).

Shouldn't the title of this thread be "WHO is your favorite understudy or standby"?

Somehow, I haven't seen too many understudys in major roles, and I've seen many shows more than once...
I did love Megan Sikora in Wicked, much better than the normal Glinda.
I did like Bob Gaynor in Taboo, did a tremendous Ich Bin Kunst.
There a couple I did not like, but that's another thread.

For me, it was always Vance Avery for the Emcee. The show has long since closed, but...he was incredible.
