Posted: 1/4/07 at 5:14pmI figured if anyone knew it would be someone here. Has Jessica Lee Goldyn ever gone on as Cassie yet? I heard from one person she was the first cover and another that she was the second. I know Nadine has been on, I'm just curious about Jessica.

I don't know the answer to the first half of your question but Jessica would have to be the second cover because her going on as Cassie causes a domino effect of someone else having to play Val.

they don't specify who is the first call or second in the program. In any program for that matter. It just lists understudy.
And a good rule of thumb for chorus line that liners are often SECOND cover bc it does indeed cause a donino effect on the line. It is easier for it to be a cut dancer.

Posted: 1/4/07 at 10:54pmShe hasn't performed Cassie yet. I would love to see her play the part though. Consider that Issenegger is also the main cover for Val, if she's out sick, Goldyn would then play Cassie and Pamela Fabello would play Val.

Posted: 1/6/07 at 9:22amThat makes sence. Thanks ACL. I hope she does get to play Cassie. I haven't seen the production myself, but from press reel clips and such I can see she's a great dancer.
