Amanda Flynn - although she never performed in front of an audience, she still performed at put-ins.

Does being a temp. lead count? If so, I think Emily Rozek and Laura Woyasz should kinda be considered temp. leads. They shared the time after Erin left and before Megan came back. And they were standby to each other. So what should we put or consider? Does it only count to be temp. lead if you do it for at least 1 month straight?
ForGood
Nov 19 2008, 01:57 AM
I consider them both standbys who were covering the role until Megan came back.

Melissa Fahn was also a San Francisco and Broadway understudy. I think she went on once in either Sf or Bway.

She was standby, and she went on once in June 07, I believe. 23rd or 26th.
Catalys
Nov 19 2008, 07:28 PM
^23rd June 07 evening. Dianne was standby from 30th April to 14th July 07 but Helen very rarely called out (I think she only had something like 6 or 7 shows off sick in 10 months) so Dianne only went on the once.

Thanks, but until someone who's familiar with the Tokyo production can verify who the leads/standbys/understudies are, I won't add them.

Sarah Earnshaw was an understudy, too, but never went on as a U/S, just as S/B.
ForGood
Nov 22 2008, 09:50 PM
That's why she's only listed as s/b.

The lists are for people who actually went on as Elphaba/Glinda and what they were at the time.

Allyce Martins is the other Australian tour understudy, and she made her last week midshow for Lucy Durack.
And we might want to mark Lucy as the Australian tour lead.

I feel like there are markedly more Glindas than Elphabas. The 1st and 2nd national tour go through Glinda understudies like nobody's business. Elphabas and their understudies and standbys seem to hold on for a while longer.
Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I misfiguring?

I have noticed too. The Broadway company has had the same Glinda understudies going on 4yrs now though. Maybe since there is a standby there?

Lucy Durack went on as Glinda in Singapore last night, due to Suzie Mathers' being sick. Maybe you should add her as Asia Tour standby, since she is there until Suzie is well.

Per ForGood's permission, I will be taking over the Elphaba and Glinda lists. I will make a new thread, but I just wanted to let everyone know that my thread (it will be called Glindas - The Definitive List 2.0) is the one to comment on, if a new Glinda goes on.
