But it's a valid point and a very real consideration. Until the income they lose exceeds the savings they get by not having understudies, nothing is going to change. Or option 2, AEA changes its rules so that understudies are required for shorter runs like at CSC (in which case they'll probably start programming only plays with very small casts so as to spend less than they would have with current size casts + understudies).

Understudies are not usually hired for off-Broadway until the show starts previews. At least, they are not under contract until then. So they would have been out of luck in this instance, anyway.
