Posted: 8/12/06 at 2:15pmI believe she said that they had offered it to her before she did Charity and that she had turned them down

Posted: 8/12/06 at 2:56pmi'm sure the Weisslers would put her in if she wanted and she could do it for a limited engagement

Posted: 8/12/06 at 3:17pmShe could probably handle it and do quite well.

She could absolutely do that role.
How about the Weisslers revive all of the musicals that originally starred Gwen Verdon and cast Christina Applegate in all of them?

Posted: 8/13/06 at 1:18pmI'd love for her to be back on Broadway. And yes, Jesse was a great show, I'd get it on dvd. I do have Friends on dvd, including her guest appearance as Rachel's sister in what is one of the best guest stars they ever had. She's really a terrific comedie actress.

Posted: 8/15/06 at 10:43pmI dont want her to play Roxie, I mean I think she will be fine, but I would rather see Bryn Dowling play the part. I for one think she would be great and so sexy.
