Astoria Bagg has just landed her debut role in a Broadway play. Well, it's not a role per se—she'll be the female understudy in Twilight at Tiffany's, a new mashup of the classic Truman Capote novella and film and the Twilight franchise.
But with an undermining, Tony-winning mother (played by Alison Fraser), a director with very specific ideas that don't involve understudies (Henning Hegland), and a preposterous script, will she sail away on a moon river? Or will the whole thing just bite?
Starring series co-creator Elisabeth Gray, Understudies features cameos from a host of stage and screen favorites, including Richard Kind as a world-famous vampire impersonator, Tony winner Elisabeth Ashley as Astoria's grandmother, and Aaron Costa Ganis as the show's male understudy.
