That was me. I apologize if it's a misunderstanding. I should have waited before posting to make sure it was 100% going to happen. My university is buzzing and everyone is talking about it but I haven't talked to Katie personally yet.

Oh, and she was supposed to graduate in December, so my university will probably work something out if it is true.

She's your close friend, but you haven't talked to her?
ok, you really should have specified that this was a rumor you heard around your school. If it turns out to not be true, you really did your friend a disservice.
If she's a musical theater major, I think she deserves the degree even if she misses a few classes - since she's missing them to take the lead in a Broadway show.
whoops

It's not just a rumor, the department head told me and posted it on the callboard. I thought that made it okay to tell people (apparently not...you guys are making me have second thoughts), so please don't jump on me.
Musicnmath, she just signed the contract this afternoon. Katie and I aren't as close as that, but we are friends.
And good point, Raithnait. :)

chinkie, did you feel that way before you heard about PIAZZA? Or do you only want to see the original cast? How do you know this girl won't be just as good? Obviously the creative team believes she is.
Perhaps she was-GASP-the best person to audition for the role.

I'm. Not. Following. Best person who auditioned? Since when does that win someone a part?

Thanks guys. I think she's pretty amazing, but I'm biased. :)
What roles has she played in college?

At SHSU, she's played Liesl in The Sound of Music, Mother in Ragtime, and she was in Smokey Joe's Cafe. I might be skipping something.
i wouldnt mind seeing it with someone with these characteristics. we could have on our hands someone like an ashely brown!
Alright, the gig is up. It's actually me. I am replacing Kelli O'Hara, b/c of our striking resemblance and my beautiful soprano.
"chinkie, did you feel that way before you heard about PIAZZA? Or do you only want to see the original cast? How do you know this girl won't be just as good? Obviously the creative team believes she is."
...sorry...whoops read this thread too fast/wrong without reading the article. I thought it was about replacing kelli in the pajama game, my mistake. After realizing that this is about piazza I don't care. I'm sure this girl will be fine if she is cast.
LittleFish can I have your autograph?
You're going to have to send a self-addressed stamped envelope to the Lincoln Center Stage Door.
Does that mean I'll just get a headshot or can I have a letter responding to me as well?
And do you come out after matinees?
And can I be your very first fan and start you a website?
I'm Fish's assistant. Send a 9x12 envelope with $5 cash and you can get a signed headshot. No letters.
She does not come out after matinees unless you have cookies.
Her website is already being handled.
Oatmeal raisin cookies to be exact.
Excuse me miss "assistant" you are no longer needed. I assure you I can handle it from here on in.
It's Fish's decision. She's the one who hired me in the first place.
I don't believe you can match my credentials.
