Sometime this past week, during "City of the Damned," Esper was drinking from the beer can but then he realized that he was up next to sing so he spit out the water before doing his lines.
Um... The 'back ups' for this show are probably the hardest working and most active swings/understudies on Broadway. You have to realize that besides like two weeks of previews, there have been only two or three shows where there wasn't any understudy or swing on. Sydney, Kobak, and Omar have to know about eight different tracks. Corbin and Aspen have to know four. One time, Kobak came on in the middle of the show for Brian and then had to switch during the show with Omar to Declan's track. Not everyone can be swings; they have one of the hardest jobs in theatre and they don't get enough credit for it.
