I happened to see Matilda in London last summer (It was amazing.) I purchased the cast recording on iTunes, but it never said which actress was chosen to sing the role of Matilda on the recording. I also heard that all four actresses appear on the cd. If anyone has a lyric book, does it state which actress sings which song?

Falsettos - the whole show Wedding Singer - Today You Are a Man, George's Prayer Hairspray - Velma's Revenge

She's Gone (Side Show) which is pretty impossible to sing 8 shows a week.

*"You Have To Be There" - Kristina. I have been enthralled with his song, ever since I first hear Alice sing it on Raw At Town Hall. I have several versions, and NEVER tire of it. *"I'd Give My Life For You" - Miss Saigon *"The Gods Love Nubia" - AIDA *"Finale B" - RENT *"One Day More" - Les Miz *"Fathers and Sons" - Working *"In Whatever Time We Have" - Children of Eden *"Muddy Water" "River in the Rain" "Worlds Apart"- Big River *"Being Alive" - Company *"Gethsemane" - JCS

Interested in this, although I think Kristen Bell would be better suited as Heather 1. Christian Campbell and JD? He's a little too nice for that character. Jenna Leigh Green, I assume is the Shannon Dohorty Heather..?

I think it's absurd that everyone on this site talks so much crap about Broadway performers. I thought this was a sight to honor performers, and learn about the latest info. This is why I visit the site, but hardly leave any comments or feedback. People spend their entire day bashing each other, and other performers. Does anyone on this site like any performers at all, or is this site simply a way to pass your droll work day? To those of you who are here to appreciate, more power to you. For ...

YES! One of my favorite ALW scores! Bring back Ruthie Henshall for Rose!

The only other person on Earth I can think of to play Diana, other than Ripley, is Toni Collette.

To Mazzie's defense she belted and growled her way through "I Hate Men," in Kiss Me Kate, and then took over for Aldonza, and belted and growled through her numbers in Man of La Mancha...so we'll see.

Ever since I heard the Carrie cd several years ago, I was thinking only Alice Ripley can sing the crazy score like Betty Buckley can! And Jenn as Carrie is a great choice, although Carrie is supposed to be chubby.

Alice Ripley as Mrs. White. After hearing her sing and act "Epiphany" as Sweeney. She's perfect. She can sing soprano AND scream the score every night. Betty Buckley's Margaret will be hard to live up to, but Alice is the only one raw enough, that I can think of...

"Anything But Lonely" - Ann Crumb (Aspects of Love) "Why" - Raul Esparza (Tick Tick Boom) "Gethsemane" - Steve Balasmo (JCS) "Dance of the Robe" - Heather Headley (AIDA) "Meadowlark" - Patti LuPone (Baker's Wife)

I like Reinking, but not as Rosie. Her Spanish Rose was nowhere near as effective as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdOn4FvpWpE

I agree with it being a major success off broadway! I saw it 10/10/09 and it was a high octane, dynamite of a show! Wow, the energy and adrenaline that is needed to get through that show is intense. I was surprised at the use of some songs from "21st Century Breakdown" and some new songs as well. (Does anyone have a complete songlist, as they didn't post it in the program.) John, Matt and Tony were excellent in their roles.

Sharon Brown, who's African American, played Lucy in the 1st National Tour of Jekyll and Hyde. She also played Narrator in the 1980s production of Joseph on Broadway. http://www.angelfire.com/musicals/performers/SharonBrown.html Her name escapes me, but there was an African American woman who played Madame Thenardier in Les Miz. Norm Lewis playing Javert in Les Miz. Joan Amidalla, an Asian American, played Fantine in Les Miz for years. Daphne Rubin Vega played Magenta in Rocky Horror and Fant...

It's the real deal. I've had my copy for near 10 years now. Meredith Braun's version of "On My Own" is my favorite of any that have been recorded.

Sean Hayes, Roger Bart or give John Tartaglia a chance to headline.

This was her first show in NYC and, the show where she broke her foot. More info and pics. http://www.angelfire.com/musicals/lizaminnelli/bestfoot.html

Musical: Tonya Pinkins - Caroline or Change Kristin Chenoweth - Wicked Michael Cerveris - Sweeney Todd Raul Esparza - Company Play: Chita Rivera - House of Bernarda Alba

There's also Joseph and Jekyll Jekyll is AMAZING. Lucy and Emma are REALLY good. Check it out.
