Bravo Tartan, another Pulitzer-worthy article. Gerry Kline? Don Watsburg? Barbara McKenzee? Jeez.
I never had the chance to meet Perry while he was a student, but he went on as Henry last night at Next to Normal and was great. It's really interesting to hear how different his preparations for Gabe and Henry are, considering he must be prepared to step into either role at a moment's notice. The only thing I'm confused by is his status as an "understudy" while Diana and Dan have "standby"s. Usually an understudy's in the show and is prepared to take over a lead, while a standby doesn't perform at all. Does this imply Perry sings backup vocals offstage or something when he's not on as Gabe or Henry?
