So much for Kritzer in Funny Girl. She just got a lead role in A Catered Affair for the spring 2008 Broadway season!
Kritzer has been cast as Jane Hurley in the new Harvey Fierstein-John Bucchino musical A Catered Affair, which will open at a Jujamcyn theatre to be named in spring 2008. Tony winner John Doyle will direct the production, which will debut at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre before arriving on Broadway. Performances at the Old Globe will begin Sept. 20.

Posted: 6/4/07 at 12:46amHow terrific for her to finally be able to originate a leading role. She had it a long time coming. I suposse that sooner or later, good things do happen to talented and under-appreciated actors. Will be interesting to see this show develop... I hadn't heard of the play. And goofy108-- I hope she plays the Mellotron.

Posted: 6/4/07 at 1:53amWho knows? Maybe Kritzer will get unanimous raves for the role, win a bunch of awards, and gain the stature to eventually head a Funny Girl revival after all. Either way, good for her.

I'm happy for her as well! She completely deserves a role in which she can properly shine.
She's leaving Legally Blonde in August.

Kritzer was going to leave "Legally Blonde" in the fall anyway to do "Vanities" Off-Broadway in the spring, no? It's not like this is really sudden.. a higher profile project just came along.
