Charlayne Vivika to Replace Elena Shaddow in Piazza Tour? - Variety

Rumor has it Charlayne will be taking over as Clara in The Light in the Piazza National Tour. Variety also mentions Valerie Cherish is in talks for Margaret. Wish them both the best of luck!

Random humour.

What "Variety"???? I get Weekly, Daily, and online editions of Variety - and there is nothing in any of them referring to this.

Also have been to the show in S.F. and Cincinnati - and not a peep about this from anyone connected with the show.

WHAT are you talking about?

It's. A. Joke.

I have no idea who Charlayne Vivika is. But according IBDB, she's never done a Broadway show.

Dottie, you don't know Charlayne???

Why she's one of BWW's most celebrated sock puppets!

I'm shocked...

...but not surprised...

Dottie---Search for Charlayne Vivika on the BWW threads, if you want a good laugh.


Craziness.

Dottie---If I'd-a been smart... I would have crawled under that same rock with you.


This is a good example of "ignorance is bliss."

I must have been under that same rock!

lol

All I know is both Elena and Christine better be there when it comes to Boston!

I've been tres occupee these past few days so I didn't have time to respond to this completely false rumor until now. Let me set the record straight! The role of Clara is one that I have been dying to play since first I auditioned for it...oh...way back at the beginning. In fact, I was set to play the role until that bit--, that less talented than I Celia with the slightly famous brother got the part. I was out of the country performing the titular role in Evita when Scarlett or Maureen O'Hara (or someone from that family) got offered MY part and took it to Broadway. This Shadow chick is doing a (probably bus and truck) TOUR, and that for me was never an option, as the Great White Way is my goal, not playing somewhere out in the sticks or boonies. Good luck Elena, especially in getting rid of that pesky British accent, and the rest of you, I will be performing on Broadway within the next 16 months. XXOOXX!!!
Love to you all,
Charlayne :)

Charlayne,

Are you up for Dot in "Sunday"? I think you would make a great Dot especially if James Barbour plays George (although they'll probably go with a more obvious choice like Michael Cerveris).
