Some news for fans of her, they have cast Ann as Christmas Eve in the production of Avenue Q here. I am very happy we get one of the original Broadway cast and Ann is very funny in the role.

Great! She was so brilliant in the role. Wonder what happened to Naoko Mori who already was announced to play Christmas Eve?

I didn't think they announced anyone for Christmas Eve. The site has always said to be confirmed when I checked. This was the last piece of casting to be announced.

This is good news. She was great when I saw the show last summer - she and Barrett were my favourite things about this, in my opinion, very poor musical.

I'm so happy for her!

I guess her husband and baby Elvis are going to be moving there too.

Stephanie isnt doing London. We are getting our own Kate/Lucy in the form of the ridiculously talented Julie Atherton. A great young actress who is a dab hand at the comedy and posses a powerhouse voice.

Ann is AMAZING! You will all love her.

...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

Ann is the ultimate Christmas Eve. I still laugh just thinking of her lines. I miss her on Broadway, but I'm glad London is going to get the chance to experience her Christmas.

We ruv you, Ann!
