lol!
All I meant by that earlier comment was in terms of Sophie-gate, the only prior case I know of where an understudy replaced a regular cast member on a cast album was when the regular cast member had had a heart attack (1776 OBC), and unless it is something drastic like that, I don't see why the understudy ever has to replace the main person on a cast album. As for Sophie on the cast album, I hope it's just a bonus track and not a replacement for Danielle. If they need any extra recording of Dorothy's part, they can wait until Danielle is better.
Again, though, I have absolutely nothing against Sophie. I'm glad she's doing well as the alternate. I just think the cast album should have the main person and not the alternate/understudy except in very extreme cases like the 1776 example.
