Kristin Chenoweth is supposedly leaving the show on September 26 because she may be returning to "Glee." The show started previews March 27 so it will have been six months dince she the show started, which was how long her original contract was. Who do you guys think should be the next Fran?

Ms Lansbury seems the obvious choice.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

As it should have been from the beginning: Anne Hathaway. She played Fran in the original reading of this revival opposite Sean Hayes.

She'd be divine, but do you think she'd make her Broadway debut as a second replacement in a less-than-lauded show?

As a fan, I'd rather see Hathaway open a show. However, it might be a better career move to step into something like this, especially since Cheno hasn't garnered much praise for her performance.

Anne Hathaway doesn't want to make her debut in this production. Its why she passed on it the first time.

2nd replacement?

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Sorry, that was a typo. I meant second person in the role...aka first replacement.

They should do a tv show... call it "You Promised!" and let the audience decide since it worked so well wtih Grease!

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Actually, Megan would do a fantastic job. That being said, I doubt she wants to make a career out of being Chenoweth's replacement.

Would have loved to see Scarlett Johansson, who was rumored before news came out about her involvement with VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE. Clearly, she picked the better project.
I was thinking of Erin Davie or even the wonderful Karen Olivo (Who might have too much personality for the role) but I guess they want an actual name. How about Kristen Bell? Her once promising career seems to be going absolutely nowhere, would love to see her tackle the role.

"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
