Oh wow, I would have loved seeing her in the role. She must have been fabulous.
I doubt Buckley was good in the role and the idea of Rashad doesn't really excite me either.
I wish I had seen Marin Mazzie go on (if she ever did), since she understudied the part.

Posted: 1/26/08 at 5:30pmPretty sure I've heard LuPone was offered the role as well, but turned it down for the Anything Goes revival...

Why was Ellen Foley the Witch in San Diego? I never understood that. The most random casting.
Phylicia took over once Bernadette left. She performed at the Tony Awards. Did anyone see her interpretation? I've got a feeling she wasn't very good, at least from the Tonys clip.
