I know Liza did but not sure about Lisa.

It's well known in the Broadway community that Lisa did all the matinee performances with Liza doing the evening performances. Per Liza's request, no Playbill inserts, lobby cast board crediting or any type of announcement was to be made. To this day, most think they saw Liza in the matinee performances when it was actually Lisa.

Sherie Rene Scott replaced Idina in Rent and Norbert Leo Butz replaced Adam Pascal. Maybe not forgotten, but I always thought it was a fun fact.
