    It’s not for Adam Riegler, it’s for his understudy Matthew Gumley who will be leaving the show to do the Broadway run of Elf.

    Thanks for clearing that up, Jon! Glad to know Adam’s not leaving the show, but great news for Matthew.

  3. Jon says:

    No problem!

    That’s a sweet salary for an understudy ;~)

    I auditioned for it and i still have not received any word and i was wondering if anybody knew how soon casting directors usually get back to you for boadway shows?

    @ Jack, are you talking about callbacks? they were tues 9/7, so if you havent heard then unfortunately you were not called back. My son auditioned as well but was not called back. If you were at the callbacks, then im not sure how they handled it.
