Great point — which adds a new level to the discussion of practice, performance, rehearsal, etc.  In the rehearsals for a Broadway show, (not a tryout or audition — which may be closer to Spring Training), the person is already selected for the part — so the rehearsal is going to be significantly connected the actual performance of the show.

More on this — it’s a very interesting point.
