Step-by-step explanation:
An understudy is a person who is prepared and ready to fill in for the lead actor. An understudy takes the place of the lead, in case the actor falls sick or is unable to perform at the last minute due to some unavoidable circumstances. When the understudy takes over, the theater manager announces the cast change prior to the performance. Understudies are required to be in the theater, or stay within a certain area of the theater, and be available on their cell phones, so that they can be called in an emergency. Understudies do not get the full benefit of a full rehearsal or rehearsals with the band. Also, they are expected to be faithful to the lead actor’s take on the character.
Dealing with the audience is a difficult challenge for an understudy. The audience comes to the theater expecting to see a famous name and may get disappointed. The understudy must work doubly hard to win over the audience. As an understudy, you may know 24 hours in advance about a scheduled performance. However, the producers do not allow you to announce it on social media. History is filled with examples of understudies getting recognized for their performances, and getting famous.
In films, there is no understudy. If the lead actor becomes ill or injured, the shoot is delayed until such time that the lead actor is able to perform again.
