Well us, nearly every newspaper article you read and even David Alvarez in a recent interview.

Anyway let's get back to the Chicago Billys.

Just one more quick question for dancinboi on the subject of an understudy for Equity compliance. The Broadwa/Chicago Billys are members of Equity then? Cause I know in London they are not members of Equity UK.

Presumably it's to do with equity compliance as well that they have an understudy Michael.

But the show is an Equity show, and therefore must abide by Equity rules.

That's a great photo - thanks for posting that, Ellen. After the bad day I had at work today, I needed a smile. . . .

All better now? Actually, there are two photos, but the first one is the cute one.

Pretty much any professional theatrical show in the US has Equity actors & stage managers, Union stage hands etc. Everything from Broadway to Regional theater and national tours.
It's a good thing actually. Provides great benefits and protection for the actors safety and working conditions. Anyway, enough of all that. Back to the Chicago show!!!

Here's a nice article from the Chicago Sun Times.

What's the understudy's name? How old is he? He's tiny!
