Asia Tour - 09/2020 - Resident Director/Choreographer; Swing (''cover Bombalurina, Cassandra, Coricopat, Demeter, Jennyanydots, Tantomile)

Rare covers
Since the tour only has seven swings - two onstage, and five booth - multiple illnesses or abseneces can quickly put a strain on the remaining cast and result in missing characters, split tracks, and unexpected covers. This has also led to some male roles being covered by women on occasino. Thalia, Caitlin, and Anina - the three swings who are already covering Tantomile - are also formally listed as covering Coricopat. (As of late February 2021, Coricopat is a relatively common cover for Thalia and Caitlin, but Anina has not yet covered hm.) This frees Aaron Lynch up to cover Alonzo or Admetus, or Taylor Scanlan to cover any of his six cover tracks.

As resident director and choreographer, however, Thalia has had to step into the breach for even rarer covers. On 15 November 2020, with both Jal and Kade missing, Taylor covered Carbucketty and Thalia covered George to provide another tom kitten.
