I sure did. Her replacement was DULL. Sorry girl, but you aren't a Leslie Kritzer. She made that role. I'm glad she's onto bigger things, but it would have been nice for her to come back for the filming (I know, not possible, but still...)
I saw it leslie's last performance. She was better than her replacement. She didn't seem to have the same comedic timing or spark that Leslie did.

The entire time Tracy Jai was on I kept thinking how much I miss Leslie.
I couldn't find the list of everyone who performed on mtv, but none of the main delta nu girls were the main ones, were they?

I thought Tracy was okay but I really missed Leslie.
Annaleigh Ashford (Margot) was part of the OBC of Legally Blonde, but Leslie Kritzer and Dequina Moore both left the show, I believe.
While Leslie Kritzer certainly made Serena a standout role in a way that no one else could, I think Tracy Jai Edwards did a fine job in still getting the laughs the role requires (though her voice is noticeably less powerful.)
I thought Tracy Jai did a wonderful job, but the whole time I was just wanting Leslie.
But she did move on to something bigger and better for her, career wise.

I know a girl at my college who looks like Tracy. Thought I'd point that out.

Werd.
Not to mention, Tracy Jai has the requisite sex appeal that the role requires.
As much as I missed Leslie... Tracy Jai grew on me throughout the broadcast. I am happy that she did not go in and copy all Leslie's things.
Asmert really fell flat for me...she seemed to lack the sassyness of DeQunina.

tracy was great.the whole cast was
Leslie was fun in the show, but I actually didn't miss her a bit. Tracy Jai Edwards looked better for the part and got the laughs. Also didn't notice an inferior voice to Kritzer.
I am sorry but Tracy Jai Edwards is no Leslie Kritzer.
I wish everyone had a chance to see her !

Not me! I saw the show last week (live) and really enjoyed Tracy Jai! Leslie Kritzer annoys the heck out of me. Just my opinion...
Leslie Kritzer is going to be a leading lady on Broadway for years to come.
I reeeeaaallllyy missed Leslie in the beginning of Bend and Snap! I miss her sass! haha I'm just glad that Annaleigh was there. She's always been my favorite of the three. I was so excited when she got Wicked.
I miss Leslie Kritzer everyday. (Sometimes, I pretend we're long lost best friends. Is that weird?)
I missed Leslie a lot. A LOT. I wish she could've been in the broadcast.
I so wish I could've seen Leslie in this.
I love her, she kinda kicks ass.
True dat, Ahmelie.
Well just be glad Leslie Kritzer has moved onto something where she can actually show her talent.
^Word. I just wish they had filmed it before she left, then she could've gone to do A Catered Affair.
But I guess you can have everything :)
She's gonna be huuuge.
EDIT: You can't have everything.
I thought Tracy was wonderful and I really hope that she doesn't read this boards. You guys are awful.
Mad props to Leslie though. I still remember how good she was as Becky Two-Shoes in the natl. tour of Urinetown.
Why should a replacement try to be like her original girl?? Obviously Tracy isn't Leslie... so what? She did what she could with a stupid role. She was damn good. She is funny, gorgeous and talented. It's not her fault she isn't trying to be leslie..
