What happens when the show can’t go on? It does. In the case of “Wicked,” when Glinda or Dr. Dillamond goes on vacation, it’s the understudies, standbys and swings’ job to step in and not miss a beat. We go backstage to meet some of the unheralded heroes of “Wicked” in this all access edition of Working In The Theatre. (2014)
