I read that the original original Millie was replaced out-of-town by Sutton Foster. Who was the original and why was she replaced?

Posted: 11/6/06 at 3:50pmSo weird! I was just thinking about this. They interviewed Michael Mayer on Downstage Center (XM Radio), and he was discussing the original Millie, but wouldn't give names.
