I think you're right! Lea started following her on IG and Hannah is now following Chess and Lea. Good catch."
Hannah is a fantastic choice! Thrilled about this possibility!

On the bright side, this interview is a master class for journalists in how to keep your composure when dealing with an antagonistic interviewee."

It certainly doesn’t count as a “what if” but one the very earliest recordings of Defying Gravity was performed by Liz Callaway all the way back in 2001. I don’t think she did any workshops, but in the 90s if this had come to f

Didn't she sing Sally Bowles at some point? I don't think that's it though, as he said it wasn't currently running.

She might be a bit young, but she’d be a great Desiree in Night Music

OuttaTowner said: "Perhaps just coincidence, but Dujonna’s recent IG posts clearly indicate that she’s in NYC."
I’m assuming she is already stateside as she has a smaller supporting role in Snow White. Unlike other weirdly nitpicky naysayers on this board, I think Dujonna’s performance is the heart of Two Strangers…and it would be at a major loss without her or Sam.

Agree. The vocal warmth isn't there. Neither is the great build.
I hope she can fix it.

Would any brave soul be willing to explain how they’ve managed to lighten up the ending/how the ending has changed?

SMASH was weekly TV series with one-hour episodes, so they decided they needed more storylines than just a show trying to make it to Broadway. TV show got panned because those episodes was like the show was try
