Though they seldom get the same recognition as the performers they cover, understudies, standbys, and others who jump in when a principal is out are a vital part of any Broadway production. This panel will feature current and former cast members from the Tony, Grammy, and Olivier Award-winning Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen who all started their journeys with the show as covers before later taking on lead roles full-time. Our panelists will share what it takes to be prepared to go on at a moment’s notice and how their experiences waiting in the wings prepared them to step into the spotlight.
