Colin's out today. He got vocal nodes while moonlighting as Mariah Carey’s backup singer, and he's seeing his otolaryngologist. Or he sprained an ankle during a performance with The Rockettes, and now he's in traction.
I'm not sure which. There are conflicting reports.
So Julia Pistell sits in for him.
And, fittingly, she'll look at the understudies, the standbys -- the backups.
This hour: The art of filling in.
