Wow, it's a little scary how identical she now looks to Jessica, especially in that first pic. I kind of miss her old look...it's the face I thought of when I first heard about her Chicago engagement, so this was a bit of a shock.
Gotta agree with everyone else, though...she looks pretty damn hot in those pictures. I almost like this one better than the over-the-shoulder shot:
Although the whole affair makes me roll my eyes, I think the backlash to the announcement was a little harsh...as someone said in one of the original threads about her, stunt casting is not going to go away so there's no use wishing a cast member ill--if you love musical theatre, you'll hope that the celebrity will only bring good things to the art form and reserve judgement until they're actually on stage. I know it's shallow to base any hopes on these photos, but I'm a little more confident and I do hope she does a great job.
