Day two hundred and seventy four of posting every six queen

Lori McLare as Katherine Howard

[sixcostumerefs]

I don't understand what a rehearsal swing is or why they're needed. Can you explain that to me?

The very, very short explanation is that they’re actors who join rehearsals to learn the show and don’t immediately go onboard with the cast, but are prepared to do so later if they’re needed due to injury/illness/etc. Ships typically try to minimize the number of people who need to be onboard to try and limit the number of resources required - housing, food, dressing room space, etc all has to be provided by cruise ships for their employees. Since space and resources is limited, the number of actors they bring onboard also had to be. But only being able to have one onboard cover for each role also puts them at risk of not having enough coverage. If there's just a temporary issue that will be resolved with a week or two, they usually just cancel shows until they have enough actors. Of course you know from personal experience that that happened quite a bit with the first casts coming back from Covid lockdowns - they had some Covid outbreaks and between that illness and the initial longer quarantine periods, there were quite a few shows that got cancelled. Six usually only performs 3-4 shows per week and cruise attendees pay for the cruise rather than the specific show, so it is disappointing but won't be a major issue for them. If there's a significant longer-term issue, like an actor getting a major injury that requires them to leave the ship, they're in a tough spot. That's where the rehearsal swings come in - if any are available, one of them can jump on board to replace that actor (although it's not always as straightforward as a 1-1 substitution). That rehearsal alt allows them to have someone on hand who already knows the show and can quickly join and get into the swing of things with minimal rehearsal. All around it's much easier (and much more cost-effective) than having to re-cast the role, sign the contracts, fly someone in for fittings, teach them the whole show, and have them tech it.

With Six, a rehearsal alt has only gone onboard in that capacity once. In Bliss 1.0, Alicia (Howard) had to leave the ship about halfway through the run. Bryony Duncan (B/S/H alt) took over as principal Howard. They brought in Lori McLare (rehearsal alt A/C/H) as an understudy Howard, but since she didn't know B/S they actually had Bryony continue to understudy B/S while acting as principal Howard, and Lori just understudied Howard. And to make alllll of that more complicated...Caitlin Tipping (Seymour) had to temporarily leave the show for a few weeks, but Bryony was now Howard and Amy Bridges (rehearsal B/S/P) had already joined Breakaway 1.0 as Seymour, so neither of them could replace/join. They actually wound up having Natalie Pilkington add Seymour as her fourth cover, to act as a temporary replacement. At that point they still had alt costumes so she was just able to wear her black Parr variation with no issue. (Noting here that all of this was more complicated than that, but for the sake of keeping things as condensed as possible this is the simpler version)

It does seem like it would have made the most sense for Lori to take over as principal Howard and Bryony to just continue as B/S/H (and maybe take over as S instead). Not sure why that didn't happen. Might have been a costume thing.

Anyway. That's the very shortened version of what their basic, as-advertised role is and the one time we've seen that happen! There is more complexity to it than that, and I did just write up a longer post on some of that here if you're curious! But I hope that's helpful as a Rehearsal Swings 101!

How do Rehearsal Swings work? Have they ever actually been invited onto the ships before?

Rehearsal swings rehearse three roles with the cast, but don't go on the ship. If an onboard swing is unable to continue as a swing for any reason (including replacing a principal) a rehearsal swing would then be asked to join the production. They do not have to if that's the case; they're free to pursue other contracts and offers even while the production is running that they were a swing for. They can also be given an offer to join a different NCS production of that show as a principal or swing. The rehearsal swing system provides some additional coverage in case it's needed but limits the number of actors who need lodgings, food, etc on the ship (cheaper for NCS). For costumes we know that the rehearsal swings are measured in advance and seem to have embellished boots ready to go. They likely have either a mock up completed or a potential stock costume set aside. (note that as the NCS costume system has changed, the system for rehearsal alt costumes have also changed and that I'm specifying the new 2021/22 principal costumes for alts system here) Most cruise productions have rehearsal swings and being invited onboard definitely isn't unheard of. With Six specifically it's only been done once: - In late 2019/early 2020, Alicia Corrales-Connor left the Bliss 1.0 cast - Bryony Duncan, who had formerly been the swing for B/S/H, became the replacement principal Howard - Lori McLare, a rehearsal swing, joined the ship. However, she had covered A/C/H previously and didn't know B/S. - Natalie Pilkington, the other swing, started covering Seymour and actually took over the role as a temporary replacement. - Bryony, even while acting as principal Howard, continued to cover Boleyn (with the idea that if she needed to go on for B Lori could cover H) - In this scenario Bryony wore Alicia's costume and Lori wore Bryony's.
