Im just hoping it's not, the cast recording wasn't great and I think they can find a stronger singer who is known here.

If they want a strong singer who's well known just hire Beyonce

Seeing her live, she was on fire and sounded much better than the recording.

Because it's been reliably reported on more than one occasion that there was only interest in a transfer with a "name."

I saw her 3 times. Once, early into the run, she was sick and awful (just after she came back from missing). A second time she was similar to the cast recording. A third time (the final performance in the West End, with Sondheim in the audience) she was on fire. I don't have a good sense of what she was like day-to-day given this diversity, but even at her best she is no Raul Esparza or Bernadette Peters. I know people sometimes complain about Laura Benanti but she sounded much much stronger to me than Craig just this past Sunday in concert. She is not a pop belter but she can in her words 'pretend' to belt and it sounds great. She also shared two anecdotes about Patti from Gypsy and Woman on the Verge that suggests they are or were reasonably close.

Wouldn't someone who can sing more than 2 lines without sticking their tongue out be more appropriate?

What if Patti played both roles?

Because they need someone who can act.

I know it's highly likely Lupone will be in a Broadway transfer, but if, for whatever reason, it's not her, for the love of God, please let it be Donna Murphy.

It looks like they're seeking people for all roles, but there's an "Offer Pending" for Joanne

I'm sure they've been offering Bobbie to various actresses, too, with this being a precautionary measure. I doubt Bobbie (and some of these other roles) is going to come out of an EPA.

I love the idea of Patti sitting there like - "show me the cast first, b*tch"

Are you just waiting for someone to say " Turn up the volume you boob!"
I can't even think of one Hollywood Actress who could sing that role.
