Posted: 7/23/07 at 1:52pmWith Lupone, Ebersole, and MacDonald (as well as Disney's Belle)all closing on 7/29, what are we going to about the diva shortage?

Posted: 7/23/07 at 3:05pmThe thread is about DIVAS.. NOT disgraces.

Posted: 7/23/07 at 3:07pmWhat are you talking about? Laura Bell Bundy is diva enough for Broadway fo' sho'!

Posted: 7/23/07 at 3:19pmOh, cheer up, people! We've still got Julia Murney, if she qualifies, and do you really think it'll be that long till Patti and Audra are back on the scene?
#5re: 7/29 - Divas Clearing Out of Town?
Posted: 7/23/07 at 3:20pmNo more divas are being created. Production stopped after Audra McDonald. Broadway will be diva-less for a while. Broadway producers are no longer interested in creating divas-they want generic plug-ins for their musicals.

-Charlotte D
-Jennifer Hope Wills
-Fantasia
-Kerry Butler
-Tamyra Gray
-Megan Mullaly(sp?)
-Claire Danes
-Lea Salonga
-Marin Mazzie
Maybe not all of them are divas, but they are female Broadway/Hollywood/TV stars, that deserved to be mentioned.

I concur with previous statements. It's going to be such a boring season without the divas! I will eagerly await their return to the Great White Way but until then...who knows?
Oh and to those who think Sutton and the rest qualify as 'divas' please refer to Bettboy's post.

Well, maybe Patti will be coming back.

Posted: 7/23/07 at 3:32pmMuscle, the only divas on your list are Mazzie and Salonga.

Posted: 7/23/07 at 3:33pmI think we should all run into the streets Sunday night and yell "PATTI!" a la "STELLA!" in A Streetcar named Desire.

Posted: 7/23/07 at 3:33pmWell, perhaps Sutton Foster is a diva-in-training, but none of the other names mentioned qualify to join the club. Mullally may have the stuff, but she doesn't have the body of work.

Posted: 7/23/07 at 3:47pmI'm not sure if I think of Lea Salonga as a diva... I don't know why. I mean, she's well-respected and famous, but I don't know... And Patti can step easily and crush Marin Mazzie.

That is too funny for words. I've wondered about something. What would happen if by some cosmic collision.. that Madame LuPone and ALW suddenly found themselves in the same restaurant / room? I shudder at the thought. from RC in Austin, Texas

Thank God I get to see all them this weekend!(!!!!!!!)
But really, it's a tragedy.
#20re: 7/29 - Divas Clearing Out of Town?
Posted: 7/23/07 at 10:55pmHold on, could someone explain something to me? Gypsy, 110, and Grey Gardens are all slated to close on 7/29, correct? And, if Telecharge and City Center are correct, isn't it impossible to see all of them in the same day, like many people are saying they are? Or am I just missing something? Gypsy's show is at 7pm, 110 is at 2pm, and GG is at 3pm. I haven't seen Gypsy or 110, but I know 110 is about 2 and-a-half hours long, so...could someone please explain? I'm very confused. (Yes, I know that some people are saying weekend, which is different, and all three can be seen in a weekend, but I've seen some posters saying they're seening all of them in the same day.)

DIVAs in training:
Lea Michelle
(just ask her co-actors)
Laura Bell Bundy
(she's been training for quite a while)
Ashley Brown
(give her a chance, she could Diva out at any moment)
That Little MERMAID fish
( I hear she has a reputation already)
Sherie Renee
(In a good way, of course)
Leslie Kritzner:
(you go Bitch)
etc. etc. etc.

Posted: 7/24/07 at 12:26amI could def. see Leslie Kritzer diva-fying. She has the voice and the talent to back it up. The rest of them seem just like pretty faces. I'd love to see Ashely Brown do something really edgy/risque and really belt it. And I haven't heard the Lea Michelle rumors?

Thinking about this weekend makes me more sad than anyone can ever understand (well, maybe not with this crowd ). Losing CE, PL, & AM all at once is terrible, especially b/c of the three of them, I can only imagine Patti coming back anytime soon.
Ebersole is taking a break (I'm not making this up, it came right out of her mouth) & Audra's got her new TV show, which will surely be successful for a little bit... and she is going to be in an opera at the met, right? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
On the record: love all of the divas in the making (or at least most), but I'm still sad.
