I saw Peter Linz go on for Rick Lyon in Avenue Q and thought he was excellent. I did not feel like I was missing out on anything and the little details he threw into each character was simply amazing, considering the amount of concentration that sort of role must take.

I have a different opinion than booming baritone. I'm in no way saying that you are wrong, i just thought that Jennifer Westfeldt did a better job than Susan Derry. Thats all.
I saw understudy for someone in Dracula. I don't know who, but either way I didn't like the show.
When The Tale of the Allergist's Wife was on broadway I saw it twice and the first time there was an understudy for Tony Roberts. When I saw it the second time when Tony Roberts was in it, I realized that I like the understudy better. I still love Tony Roberts.
