For productions with swings & understudies
Swing & understudy tracking built into your schedule
Most scheduling tools pretend every role is interchangeable. Rox Teddy understands principals, swings, and understudies—and the cascading covers that happen when someone calls out.
Built for the way you actually work
The problem
When a principal calls out, you spend an hour figuring out the domino chain.
Rox Teddy
Mark the principal out and Rox Teddy promotes the highest-priority cover into their role, then backfills the cover's original role—repeating until the cast is whole.
The problem
Swings are buried at the bottom of every roster and never get the right call.
Rox Teddy
Swings are first-class roles with priority, seniority, and skill matching—so the right swing gets the call, not the first one to text back.
The problem
You can't reconstruct who played which track on which night for payroll.
Rox Teddy
Every performance keeps a versioned cast history. Royalties, hazard pay, and Equity reports come straight from the record.
What you get
Cascading cover logic
Multi-layer swing chains: A covers B, B covers C, and Rox Teddy walks the chain on call-outs.
Cover priority & seniority
Set swing priority per role; ties break on seniority and reliability.
Principals, swings & understudies
Model the production the way it actually runs—not as a flat list of shifts.
AI-assisted casting
Auto-build each night's cast taking covers, availability, and recent appearances into account.
Affected-cast notifications
When the cast changes, only the affected performers are notified—no spam.
Per-performance cast history
Versioned record of who performed which track on which night, exportable to payroll.
How it works
Map your covers
Define which swings cover which principals, and their priority order.
Mark a call-out
One click marks a principal out; Rox Teddy walks the cascade automatically.
Notify & record
Affected performers get a single notification; the per-performance record is updated.
