Here's a brief profile of Merwin Foard, who has the thankless job of Broadway standby, currently covering two roles (Nathan Lane's and one other) in The Addams Family. I saw Mr. Foard go on in place of Brian Stokes Mitchell in the 1999 Broadway revival of Kiss Me Kate and he was terrific. (So was Stokes. I saw both of them.) I also saw Foard in the non-standby role of Richard Henry Lee in the 1997 Broadway revival of 1776 and he stole the evening. Please, somebody…give this man a regular lead in something.
