I think the only way they'd let Charlotte take over the show is if it becomes a hit like Chicago in which the production itself is so good that it doesn't need a name to sell, unfortunately the reviews for the show were not that good and honestly with Cilento's choreography and those horrendous costumes it doesn't surprise me, although the acting was extremely underrated in the reviews. I am pretty sure that as Ljay said, this show will close if they don't find a big name to take over. Whatever happened to Marissa Tomei doing Charity?

I have heard the possibility of Renee Zellweger for a three month stint following Applegate's departure.

But Renee always makes such a big deal about how she's too shy to sing in public... thats weird.

Sarah Jessica Parker:) Thats my vote!

Sarah would be good too.

SJP would be great. I adore her. I'd run to the theatre to see that. I saw her in How to Succeed... with Matthew at her first performance.

Apparently Marisa wasn't so hot in the singing and dancing categories...

I saw it in the Boston tryout with Charlotte. She was fantastic, but yes, sadly enough, I think many of you are right that they need a "name" for this one to keep it running.

Brittany Murphy - she'd actually be good. She's got a Charityish voice. Can she dance and sing? She looks and sounds the part, she can act, and she's pretty funny too.

Sarah Jessica Parker - I could see it. She's a good comidienne. I think she could handle the vocals. Can she dance?

Re: the Idina idea presented above - Sorry, I love Idina, but I cannot in a million years imagine her as Charity. She seems a bit too serious. Not quirky enough. And never struck me as a dancer...can she dance?

Charity has to be able to dance!

YES! Brittany Murphy would be PERFECT as "Sweet Charity." She's funny, sings and dances. I read an interview where she mentioned that it was her dream to portray Charity some day.

I hope the Weissler's are considering her.

My only concern with Murphy would be: Can she do eight shows a week?

Don't believe me... I don't really care. I have have inside info. And as I don't want to reveal my sourse as it hasn't been offically announced. There is another show going into the theatre. Not sure what exactly.

You sure seem to have "inside info" on every show on Broadway.

Considering I talk to people from the Weissler office, I know what is true and not true.
