who is your favorite? so you even know the names of any? which swing or understudy could so take over the part every show?

my heart goes out to yasmin alers-that girl has worked her but off as mimi for a long time. she is beyong the point of deserving that role... my life will not be complete unless i can open a playbill and see 'yasmin alers-MIMI'

anyways... what are your thoughts?

Peter Lockyer is my favorite. He understudied Rodolfo in La Boheme on Broadway. I saw him in the role twice and he was absolutely brilliant. Now he's with the Phantom tour and he understudies the Phantom, Raoul, Piangi, and Andre. Wow. He's also the nicest guy in the world and the only actor who knows my name. I adore him.

Hah...Anyone know if Shoshana is single. She needs a nice Jewish boy to marry and I am quite willing to oblige. Her riff after "Mama, I'm a big girl now" was amazing and made me cream myslef everytime...oops...too much info.

I adore Barrett Foa (Avenue Q- Rod, Princeton, Trekkie, Nicky) and Dominique Roy (Rent- Mimi). They shouldn't be understudies, but STARS.
