I was looking through the photos from the Anastasia Gypsy Robe ceremony, and I realized that Jennifer Smith both didn't get the robe, and was photographed on crutches at the event.
Does anyone know what happened to her/if that is why the honor went to the next most seasoned member, Shina Ann Morris? I'm assuming that is the reason but I'm surprised that I didn't see any talk about it last year.
No, you can be the recipient more then once. Many actors have. I know Jeremy Davis, who received the robe for Frozen, also got it for the Cats revival, for example.
For example, for American Idiot, Lorin Latarro should have gotten the robe but she passed before thr ceremony since she's received it a number of times before and the next season ensmeble member, Andrew Call, received it.
Jennifer Smith had gotten hurt during previews of Anastasia and I remember when watching the video of the ceremony that Jennifer had given her blessing to passing on the robe to Shina.

I figured it was a situation like that! Do you happen to have a link to that video? I would love to take a look.
This isn't the video I watched but it's the full Gypsy Ceremony from the opening of Anastasia and around 6:30 is when Katie is about to bestow the robe on Shina and explains "with the blessing of Jennifer Smith":
