Wierd, wierd choice, but kinda good. She could sing the role, and probably act it---but there's something about her that just doesn't seem right for Glinda. We'll have to see how she does, I suppose.

I feel like she just might be better than Laura Bell Bundy, so it doesn't exactly disappoint me

actually a good choice. the shtick is almost exactly like Hope from Urinetown...Denis O'Hare knows about same-shtick shows, doesn't he?

i'm crushed but buoyed by the fact that this might be the disappointment that sends lbb into a spiral of wild bachanalia ending with her pole dancing at a club near me for change. and then i'll save her and she'll be mine! all mine!!

LOVED her in URINETOWN. I don't see anything wrong with the choice.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

It's far from being the worst choice. That would have been...oh, never mind, I'm feeling gracious today. Papaloves, I love you!

I'm happy. Something about Laura Bell Bundy doesn't sit right with me.

I didn't see her in Urinetown, but I've heard her. She's got a great voice!
But how does she look blonde? Is she a brunette, or was that just the picture?

hahah.......actually, I think she will be great in the role. I never saw her in Urinetown, but according to the cast album, she has a wonderful soprano (I don't know her full range). Also, I saw her at the LaChiusa concert at Lincoln Center when she sang "Little Fish". I really liked her, and think and hope she'll do well.
The question is, what is Laura Bell Bundy doing?

I like the new choice, also. But, what happened to LBB??

LBB was making negotiations with the producers but the final details could not be determined. I BELIEVE she will still be sticking around to be a standby.

yeah, but then it was retracted. Essentially, everyone published the story without double checking their facts.

Actually, what happened was a story was published on playbill.com based on information obtained from Laura's website which was posted prematurely by accident. Not faulting playbill, as the info was there for a few days. Playbill didn't cite producers nor any production spokesperson (and neither did the story that appeared here temporarily), but just the site. The information was removed from the site as negotiations were still underway. Both sites promptly removed their stories.

Actually I preferred Amy Spanger to her in Urinetown. She brought much more to the part.
Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!

I don't know, I feel that a she rehearses and learns the role, she may really 'become' teh role. We'll see.
