mallardo, Ms. Spanger being cast may be the only thing that would get me back to see Drowsy. I really wish I'd liked it. I really wanted to. I should give it another chance.
Sara Gettelfinger would do a great job as well! I've only seen her in DRS, in which she was great, and I trust other people who say she's great in other things as well. :o)

Posted: 1/23/07 at 5:41amMaybe this will serve as Loretta Swit's comeback vehicle! I can only hope!

I think Amy Spanger is a little too long in the tooth.
Darcie Roberts is PERFECT but she isn't she doing Curtains?
I don't think Sarah Gettlefinger exudes the youth that Janet needs but maybe she just hasn't shown that side of herself.

Posted: 1/23/07 at 7:25amSara Gettelfinger is *perfect* casting. Really. She has it ALL! Comedic chops, voice, looks, legs, talent galore. She would be a riot.

Posted: 1/23/07 at 7:37amAmy Spanger too old? Please. How old is Jane Roberts - the actress who plays Janet - supposed to be? Recall that she was known as the "Oops Girl" - an actress whose so-called sexual energy was so great that she made men have "accidents". That description fits Amy better than it does Sutton - if I may dare to say so. And how old does Troy Britton Johnson, her fiance, seem to be? Amy is certainly a plausible match for him.

Posted: 1/23/07 at 7:39amI saw this thread last night before I went to bed and the first person that popped into my head was Amy Spanger.

#34re: New Janet in Drowsy Chaperone!
Posted: 1/23/07 at 7:41amYeah, but with WEDDING SINGER on her recent pedigree, she's not exactly an easy sell to replace a Tony winner in a 5-time Tony winning show, regardless of talent.

Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 1/23/07 at 9:48amI love all the girls being mentioned, but would have to say that Nancy Anderson seems like the best choice. She is absolutely flawless. Her singing style is perfect for the role, she can dance, and she is incredibly funny. I would LOVE to see her do it.

And Sara "fired from GREY GARDENS" Gettelfinger is?
You really know how to mix things up, don't you.
Was Sara Gettelfinger FIRED from GREY GARDENS?
No. She was a cast member in the Off-Broadway production. She was not cast in the Broadway production. She was not FIRED from anything. She was simply miscast in the role.

No more absurd Foster than saying Amy Spanger can't do the show because she was in a flop musical.
Absurd.

'Sarah Gettlefinger, maybe... But eventually Susan would be awesome'
Well..unless the show runs for about 5 more years..Susan's already said she isn't considering anything that far away from home for that kind of commitment for about the next 5 years..
