Aladdin Understudies

Today was a half day. It ended at 11:30, but not for me and everybody that wasn't in the ensemble for Aladdin Jr. There were a few problems at rehearsal. One of our the guards, Timmy, wasn't there, but there are multiple guards. Another problem was that the person playing the Sultan wasn't here; but Storm, who plays Razoul, was there to fill in. That brought up another problem. Who would be Razoul? Storm's friend, Jake P., was there to fill in for him when the Sultan and Razoul were in the same scene. There was ONE MORE problem. Jake Flaherty, who plays Aladdin, wasn't there! I asked if I could fill in for Aladdin and the music director (the director wasn't there) said yes. When we got to "A Whole New World" though, there was another problem. The Aladdin part goes down an octave and I can't sing that low. So, Jake P. filled in for Jake F. when I couldn't, but I did Aladdin when we were at the finale.
