I`m kinda lost here. What is the difference between a standby and an understudy? I notice when I go to broadway musicals,they have both? What are the differences and which one is used more? Thanks.

I believe that a standby is used more often.

Thread currently on the off-topic board, approx same question and quite informitive


So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space
