Back from our two-show day and exhausted. The matinee was fantastic and that understudy did brilliantly - getting every laugh and rocking the house with her solo.
The second understudy, who only went on in the evening, just needed more rehearsal and time. I'd given her some notes yesterday, but she wasn't in the place where she could really make them work as well as they needed to work. She got through it (she was playing Sandy's role), and she was fine, but the character needed more fire - I must say, though, the other cast members notched it up so that nothing seemed amiss, which it really wasn't anyway.
