Bwayfan has it right! I asked Riza and she said the time just hasn't come yet but they are definitely trying to find a window for her to go on - the producers are really trying to rotate all their swings and understudies.

Yes producers love it even the main, billed, scheduled cast members go off. Of course they specially find a time for them to go on...

That’s not what they mean. IF the schedule performers call out, that’s when they rotate. It’s not like they ask the main cast members to take days off to give the understudies a chance.

Weren’t you not posting ever again? That was short-lived...

Why are there so many covers? im confused by the whole standby thing, cause wouldnt Tee always go on first since she is a standby?"
Tee has kind of explained this and basically said that it's a numbers game. Tee, as the standby, should probably be the first to go on, but they also have to make sure that they have their other tracks covered if something happens mid show. Mean Girls is really good about giving everyone a chance to go on in their covered/understudy roles, but since Tee covers 4 tracks they sometimes put someone else out to make sure that the rest of the principals are covered.
