Ah - may well have been him then. I just assumed George. Certainly wasn't Osmond anyway.

Jason only did the one show in Birmingham, George did all the others, I assume he was off and putting Llandyll on as Vince would've resulted in a very unbalanced ensemble (despite the powers that be clearly not considering this when they cut the ensemble originally)

I always find it slightly disrespectful when it isn't announced or a notice put up that an understudy may be on. Last week at B'ham Rep in Jane Eyre, Melanie Marshall wasn't on one night and her understudy Dami Olukoya was on. As there was no photo of Dami in the program, a lot of people would not have known it was her, as she is a fair bit younger than Melanie a few of us in the audience were talking and saying "We don't think that's Melanie" at the interval.
It was only a couple of days later when I was at theatre again to see The Whip Hand in the Door, I saw Dami walking through the concourse and said "Nice performance the other night". She said "Thanks, oh you must have seen the night I was on" that it was confirmed I'd seen her perform.

Just to bump my own thread up a bit, does anyone know the understudy lists for any shows opened in the last 6 months or new casts ? It can be London/Tour/Regional. It's always interesting to keep track and to maybe get the chance to see people we may not know about in other roles.

Jonathan actually left Wicked at cast change, so Scott Sutcliffe is the cover for Boq.

The quite short understudy list Groan Ups (hopefully it's a short enough run that they won't have to get in extra covers like they did for both TPTGW & TCAABR during their original cast runs!)
Katie, Miss Murray/Chemise - Holly Sumpton Moon - Chrystal Dockery Alastair, Simon - George Haynes Spencer, Mr White/Paul - Paul Brown

Does anyone have the understudy list for the current cast of Girl From The North Country? I’d also be interested to see the understudy list from the current production of Curtains which was on in London and is also touring the UK.
