Understudies. When I went to a show I used to get really upset when there were understudies on. Though after seeing many understudies I have learned, a lot of them ROCK!!! Many of them are better than the person they are understuding for are!!! Take Kristen Lee Kelly for instance, G-d is this girl good!!!! She rocks the house! I saw her understudy for the role of Maureen in Rent, and let me tell you I cannot imagine ANYONE being a better Maureen. From this paragraph I conclude understudies RULE (most of them anyways...)!!!!! Since this is a Rent page I will now list all the understudies for Rent: Mark Cohen (Anthony Rapp): Gillis Chiasson and Norbert Leo Butz (aka DA BUTZ) Roger Davis (Adam Pascal): Gillis Chiasson and Norbet Leo Butz (aka DA BUTZ) Mimi Marquez (Marcy Harriel): Yassmin Alers (this girl ROCKS!!) and Norbert Leo Butz (hey it could happen!!)
