Dear Evan Hansen Vacation Covers

[ElphabaGoodman]

Not sure if there's already been a thread on the vacation covers in this show, but in addition to Lisa Brescia who recently joined the cast (and went on for Jennifer Laura Thompson last week), Bradley Dean and Mallory Bechtel joined the cast this week, covering Michael Park and Laura Dreyfuss.

Do vacation covers still get paid when they aren't needed? 

[ElphabaGoodman]

Yes, it's essentially the same as an offstage standby.

If Mallory was needed, would she actually go on for Zoe, or would she go on for Alana? When Kristolyn was on vacation, Olivia covered her the whole week except for one show when Laura missed. She switched to Zoe, and the vacation swing covered Alana. Since it's actually Laura who's scheduled out this week, would Mallory go on for Zoe and Olivia for Alana if Kristolyn had to miss? It just seems like Alana is a much easier role to prep.

If Mallory is only covering Zoe, I don't think she would go on for Alana, even though it is an easier role. Also, where is the announcement that Mallory joined the cast? I couldn't find it on any of her social media though I may have missed it

Olivia went on as Zoe last night. I don't know anything about the rest of the schedule.
