I'm starting to get into musical theatre and it can get overwhelming sometimes so thank you for your explanation i really appreciate it ❤

I’m a swing but I am also playing in the ensemble so I am on stage but I’m an understudy for 4 lead roles 😭

[ellieannpicknell]

I’m afraid a swing isn’t offstage! They are normally in the ensemble and learn most of the tracks of the ensemble and understudy lead roles!

Your look, voice and expressions always remind me of Colin Firth...🔥
