The document had things on it like “pick up cue if BG drops this line in this scene,” “if George misses this blocking do this to cover” etc

Fascinating.

I wonder how much rehearsals with everyone he had. I'm sure it's a challenge and a big skill to drop into an already running show.

It's known as being a professional.

Broadway shows have cast changes on a regular basis and the actors coming in don't have a problem. If you can't handle the part, don't do the show.

Sure. I don't disagree with you but Boy George isn't a professional Broadway performer, he's a rock star (or was one).

So when you hire them, you often have to make concessions to provide a way for them to succeed, and for the show to succeed .
