Hij wordt de alternate, de vaste vervanger, voor hoofdrolspeler Henk Poort... Is de officiële term niet understudy? Lambo 7 mei 2007 21:59 (CEST)

• Het zijn allebei officiële termen. "Understudy" wordt als ook als algemene term voor vervanger gebruikt, maar heeft de specifieke betekenis van een vervanger die normaal gesproken een andere rol in dezelfde musical vertolkt. Een "alternate" is een vervanger die alleen meedoet in bepaalde voorstellingen voor een bepaalde rol. Ik ken de precieze gang van zaken bij Rembrandt niet, maar alternate zou heel goed de correcte term kunnen zijn. Onderstaande uitleg is te vinden op een Engelse pagina met veelgestelde vragen over musicals.

Q. Can somebody explain to me what the difference is between an alternate, a standby and an understudy?

ALTERNATE - Appears in a given role for certain performances. Typically, a principal performer will do 6 shows, leaving the alternate with the other two in an 8 show week. Alternates often do matinee performances and/or the evening performance directly before or after the day off. They sometimes also fill in as an understudy for that role, particularly for a scheduled absence by the principal performer. This is a rather new category of performer. This arrangement is made for very vocally demanding roles, and is still a bit unusual. I believe it was begun for Sarah Brightman in POTO. It is done (in at least some companies) for the role of Kim in MISS SAIGON as well.

STANDBY - An understudy who has no other job in the show. Narrowly defined as someone who does not appear in the show and covers only one role. More broadly, someone who covers one OR MORE roles, but doesn't perform in the show. Typically, this is done for major roles or major stars. Some companies call all understudies standbys.

UNDERSTUDY - A catch all term, but narrowly defined as someone who covers one or more roles in a show while simultaneously appearing in that show. (Usually in a chorus position).

While we're at it:

COVER - A synonym for STANDBY or UNDERSTUDY, although usually used in reference to someone who plays one role and "covers" another.

SWING - An understudy who typically doesn't play a role in the show, but covers one or more chorus positions. SWINGS often cover many roles. Typically, when an understudy who is in the chorus goes on for a principal performer or takes a vacation, the SWING will cover the resulting empty spot in the chorus. Some performers who DO appear in the show "swing" a number of other roles. Sometimes, they can do this while still playing their own role. Usually not. This can lead to quite a dominoe effect at times.

It is not unusual for a SWING who is not usually in the show to also be a DANCE CAPTAIN for the company - the person in charge of maintaining the show's choreography, and often teaching choreography to new replacements and helping with understudy and clean up rehearsals. Since they must be very strong dancers and versatile performers to cover so many roles, and because they by necessity need to know so much of the choreography anyway, and because they often have the advantage of being able to sit outside the show and watch when they are not on, they are naturals for this position.

Our own Kate Dowe is a SWING and DANCE CAPTAIN for the National Tour of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. [JEA]
