Ok so I was going through almost all of my old Playbills tonight. I discovered that I saw Christopher Sieber in Spamalot... huh.
I'm also IMMENSELY confused by my Spring Awakening playbills. I saw the show twice on Broadway, November 1, 2008 and January 2, 2009. My mom gave me her playbill from the January show, so I have three playbills from the two shows. The November one was an October playbill, and the January ones were January playbills.
They all list the four ensemble members as being Morgan Karr, Alice Lee, Eryn Murman, and Zach Reiner-Harris. No surprise there.
November lists Frances as the only swing. However, Jesse is listed as an understudy for Melchior, Georg, Hanschen, and Otto (not Ernst?). Both have their headshots in the program. Jenna is not listed as a swing or understudy, and her headshot's not in the program.
Program #1 from January 2 lists Frances, Jesse, and Jenna as swings. They are all understudying the roles I knew they understudied. All of their headshots are in the program.
Program #2 for January 2 is the same as the November program, except Jesse is listed as a swing.
I am so beyond confused! Jenna's last show was January 3, right? I don't understand why they would give two different playbills to two people who entered and were seated together.
o/t but I had no idea that Andrew Durand ever understudied Moritz. Did he go on?
Also, why did Jesse not understudy Ernst and Alice not understudy Martha? Did their voices not fit the parts?
Sorry, this is a lot of questions... but this is the questions thread, after all!

Jenna was out for a little while to film the Glee pilot. Her picture wasn't in the Playbill while she was gone. Andrew never went on for Moritz. I can't answer for sure about Jesse and Alice. I can guess though; Jesse was SO not an Ernst at all, and I'm not sure about Alice but I don't think Socha understudied Martha either and that's who she took over for.

Alice didn't understudy Martha for the exact reason Shannon just said, she took over for Socha who only understudied Wendla, Anna, and Thea. Which is a damn shame because Alice would have werked it out as Ilse and Martha.

Socha did understudy Martha. During rehearsal, they discovered her voice wasn't right for Dark I Know Well, so she never went on. But she did understudy it and was listed in the playbill.
Alice joined only understudying Wendla, Anna and Thea, since they already had two covers (Jenna and Eryn) for Martha. Alice only learned Ilse when Jenna left in case both Emma Hunton and Amanda Castanos called out.

Amanda understudied Ilse? I thought it was in case Emma and Eryn called out.

I think Pauly meant that Alice learned Ilse in case Amanda and Emma called because Eryn would go on for Amanda (since Alice didn't cover her) and Alice would go on for Ilse because Jenna had left.

Question: Where does Ilse come from in I Believe when the cast crawls over to the swing? Is it the piano because I saw her playing in the Mirror-Blue Night?

I'm pretty sure she does come from the piano.

I'm not that familiar with the Broadway cast covers, but I know Phoebe covered Wendla and Ilse, BCJ was a Moritz cover. Who were the other Broadway cast members who covered a bigger role when they already had a role?
Does anyone know why the same thing wasn't done more with the Tour Cast? Matt covers Melchior and that's it. All of the other roles are covered only by the ensemble members/swings.

Was it maybe because in the case of Phoebe and Brian, those were their covers in the off-Broadway production when they didn't have the extra ensemble members so they just kept it in the Broadway production as their covers as well?

Johnny B. Wright covered Melchior but never went on. I think that's it, though.

Matt Doyle covered Melchior. When Eryn played Anna for a few months, she covered Ilse and Wendla. Emily Kinney covered Wendla (but she never went on).

Oh that makes sense with the OBC cast members continuing to cover the role they covered off Broadway.
ETA: So Matt Doyle continued to cover Melchior when he was Hanschen and not ensemble?
But I still wonder why Matt Shingledecker is the only Tour cast member to cover another role when no other cast member does the same

He was a Melchior u/s on Broadway, so he already knows the role.

Yes, Matt Doyle continued to cover Melchior after he became Hanschen (though it took them rather a while to actually put him on as Melchior again!). Jesse and Matt were the only Melchior covers for the remainder of the run on Broadway.
Part of the difference between the coverage on Broadway and on the tour is that there were no swings or ensemble members on Broadway who covered all six male roles, the way Lucas does on tour.

To add to this, I think it says in my Playbill that Emily also covered Ilse and so did Caitlyn. I could be wrong though.

Emily was theoretically a Wendla cover (I don't think she ever even had a put-in). Neither Emily nor Caitlin were an Ilse cover.

Whaaaa? Does it seriously say that in your playbill? That definitely never happened.

Uh... no. I can guarantee you that you are misreading it.

I'd imagine that she meant that she thinks that's what she REMEMBERS it saying in her Playbill, not that she can't read well enough to tell if that's what it says or not.
Though, with this place, you never know....

Yea... the people here. Kidding kidding.
AND FOR THOSE WONDERING ABOUT UNDERSTUDIES FROM THE OBC... Jenn was originally the Wendla cover, but due to age, Krysta was forced to be a cover. And... she only went on 5 times, and then never again.
AND... none of the original Melchior covers ever went on. Fun fact.
