Dear Lord. Let a real life hard working theater actress play the part.

... to zero effect.
(I'm assuming you're alluding to Uma, Isabella.)
Mira Sorvino
you guys should have Leigh Zimmerman! True beauty & star and shone brighter than the sun onstage in the Ldn show! After Lee/Lane left, she totally stole the show for me! When Lee/Lane were still there, she was in equal quality with them.

I always thought Kristen Johnson (Sally on 3rd Rock from the Sun) could play the part.
Don't know if she sings, though.

yeah i was talking about Uma. lovely actress, horrible singer.
I vote Jenny Lynn Suckling... or is it officially Jenny Lynn Spencer (since she's married to Jersey Boys' Bobby Spencer? She'd be great.
If you're looking for a "big" name, I liked Christina Applegate in Charity a lot (even though I know not everyone did).
Just get a hard-working struggling actress looking for a break. Stop the insane pop-star Stunt-Casting.
How about Susanne Somers? I hear she's looking for a vehicle to make her triumphant return to Broadway in...

Brooke Shields?
I really do think Christine Aguleria would make an amazing Ulla. If she could pick up that acent it would be to die for. Her vocals are increible and I can only imagine how mind blowing her "Don't think twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!" would be.

I'm not sure what Ulla character encompasses but you be the judge how about Diana Degarmo. She's Penny in Hairspray, did summer tour as Brooklyn in Brooklyn the Musical. She also did Maria in WSS and of course had to learn a Puerto Rican Accent and sing in it.
Felicia Finley would be perfect.
I'm with Corine on this one.
"Sarah Gettelfinger would be fabulous."
*Sara
I agree! Sara would be amazing!
I spent some quality time with Felicia Finley at Broadway on Broadway and she told me she is a first class flirt.
She is hysterical and all of the men were eating out of her hand.
She would be a natural.
