Congratulations to Bailey! I can totally see her in that role.

Perfection!

Poor girl's going to be type-cast for the rest of her career.

This is actually... perfect.

In my opinion, this is a better role for her than Elle. Perfect, perfect, perfect! She can't really pass as a high schooler, but that's nothing new in film/tv/theatre. Good for her!

*EDIT: I think she reads as older than her age. I'm sure she'll be believable when on enters the world of the show. This is also a brilliant marketing move. I'm SURE HSM has a lot of audience overal with not just "Legally Blonde" but also wtih "The Search for Elle Woods." Can't you just picture the 10 or 13-year-old girl who couldn't make it to Blonde begging her mom to see this so she can still see Bailey? Updated On: 10/7/08 at 03:05 PM

Awesome! I'm sure my roommate will be dragging me to see this, and I'm ok with that :).

Perfect. And good for her.

BTW, just showing off a bit, but I totally called her joining the Disney stable.

regnad kcin,

Isn't Bailey only 19 or 20? She definitely looks like she could still be in high school. I think the outright snobbery of Sharpay will definitely play to her strengths. I'm sure her fierce dancing will help too.

That's so great for Bailey, now there won't be a huge gap or hiatus for people to forget about her. She'll do a great job with this role.

So, instead of doing her imitation of Laura Bell Bundy doing her imitation of Reese Witherspoon, she can do her imitation of Ashley Tisdale.

It's a good thing she is staying away from performing the typical blonde role that always calls attention to the fact she is a blonde... yeah, perfection indeed.

I would like to see her originate a role, instead of seeing her as a replacement.

This is actually perfect casting.

Now I have to go wrangle a ticket to this (which, by the way, are incredibly hard to come by!!)

oh i'm going!

haha i find it funny how the article called HSM a modern day romeo and juliet.

[winter_sky]

Posted: 10/7/08 at 6:53pm

I think that's funny too and not really correct unless Troy and Gabriella are going to off themselves in "HSM 3: Senior Year". People always try to make things much more important and starcrossed than they actually are.

Hmmm...I like it.

I can totaly see this.

Is Papermill easy to get to from the city?

[famefan25]

Posted: 10/7/08 at 9:46pm

I've already got my ticket.

They do say the sweetest girls can play the most perfect bitches.

God job for Bailey!

It's super-easy to get to Paper Mill from NYC - Take NJ Transit from Penn Station to Millburn, and the theatre's only a few minutes walk away.

Can't wait to see the rest of the cast list. I mean, other than Bailey, I only know of one other role for sure Updated On: 10/7/08 at 10:39 PM
